    I am going to buy a Pokemon Platinum cartridge, but I am not sure if it is fake or not, so could you help me to know if it is or not?

    Picture of the cartridge:
    Green Joy-Con D-Pad Shells for Nintendo Switch


    Thanks in (Pokemon) advance.

    Judging by that picture, it looks legitimate to me. Would it be possible to get a picture of the rear side of the game card?
    Nothing raises red flags here, though.
    It's pretty rare that the DS Pokémon games are faked (though there definitely are some instances of it) in comparison to the Game Boy and GBA games.

    I asked to the seller to send me a pair of pictures from the front and back of the cartridge to verify even more, but thanks. Now I feel a little bit safer.

    +1 for being original, DS bootlegs used to be made but nowadays they don't even bother and just sell you an r4isdhc.com with label removed and a microSD literally taped in
