Hmm, I compared them to the official ones and the only difference I can see is Pokemon Emerald...
EDIT: If it were to be fake, does Pal Park work?

Take pictures of Emerald at different angles and different lightning.
My first reaction when I saw your Emerald cartridge was "faaaaaake!", but Emerald is a weird one and may look differently depending on the lightning/angle.

Can you see an effect similar to this one on the sticker?

Is the sticker actually silver in the upper-right and lower-left corners?

Oh, :(
I knew I had to be suspicious... I accidently purchased one of them before realising that they might be fake...

I suppose as long as you didn't pay a lot and if it works/saves fine, it's not TOOOO bad, right? I mean, it could have been worse. :)

Kind of true, but the main point I am interested in is migrating Pokemon from the GBA cartridge to the DS Pokemon game (e.g. Pokemon Ruby to Pokemon Diamond)
