Question????

[SeamYo]

Hi guys, just wondering... Im "pretty" sure my fire red is a fake, i got it off ebay and the instruction booklet seems awfully thin :s

anyway just wondering, will i still be able to link up with D/P and migrate my team across???

It depends... It could just be a fake book to increase the value of the game, or it might be fake. Check the game first, and if it still seems legit, you should try transferring.

so what happens if you transfer with a fake?
is your file gonna be deleted or what?

If the cartridge is black, its fake. If the cartridge is Orange, it is real. Never trust Ebay.

5 ways to find a fake
Is the cartridge not the colour of the game?
Does the game save?
Is the dialogue congruent for a poke'mon game?
Is there an instruction book? if so does 3 apply?
Is the cartridge the colour of the game?
If any of the above are no then you're an idiot for getting a fake.

And you CANNOT transfer Pokemon from a fake game. Only original carts can be detected by D/P games.

so it's like youre trying to trade with a mario game or something

you might still try to migrate them though. you might fail, but then you at least know for sure its a fake.

You didn't have to say that. He got it off Ebay, it's not as though he saw it in person.

Your game won't delete it's save file, don't worry, but it won't migrate, unfortunately.

Yes, like Crasher said, you didn't have to add the last part. Don't be so rude to members.

Anyway, you got your answers now. Closed.
