I want to buy pokemon cartridges for Gameboy Color, but I heard there are lots of fakes! I found these, but I think they are fake, two only have nintendo seal of approval, and the other only has rating and no seal. Am I right, are these fake? http://www.vatera.hu/pokemon_kazettak_gameboyhoz_1463657950.html
 
Idk about the other two but the yellow version looks legit to me. I compared the yellow with mine and neither have a seal so you should be fine with that one.
 
I'm a bit skeptical about the Silver version cartridge since the text "Silver Version" isn't in the text I remember being, but also the seal on the Blue and Silver version games aren't real - the seal of Nintendo approval has never been a circle, only an oval.

yeah, I wouldn't go with any of them.
 
Hmm, I found this: http://pocketmedia.ign.com/media/news/image/otherstuff/yellowcountries.jpg

Checking other pictures about Yellow, it proves the picture above true, so it's either seal or rating, depending on the version.

Okay, Yellow seems good enough. What about the others?

And anything else you notice, like, the quality of the stickers, or something?

There seem to be round ones too.

Edit 2: You are right about the font, though I see many pictures on original Crystal cartridges too. Odd.
If one is fake and the rest are suspicious, I don't think why the others would be any different. The rating is not white, but black on the Yellow version as well. They are definitely fake, it seems. I won't buy them then, thanks a lot.

Now I have a GBC and a magnifier+light, but no game into it o_o
And on ebay no original deals I found ship to Europe. FML. I'd be thankful if someone helped me find a deal :l
I spent hours looking for a damn GenII cartridge -_-
 
If they have the circle seal they're from PAL regions, if they're American Games, they're fake.

The site is Hungarian (So am I) so they are probably some European import, (german versions were the easiest to get here, apart from chinese fakes)
I guess that means PAL. But nevermind, instead of buying these for 20 bucks, I bought an original Crystal for 25. I'm only interested in Johto anyway, I played LeafGreen on emu. Only buying these for the original retro feeling I missed as a kid.

Well, thanks for the help, everyone!
