A Reddit post reveals a counterfeit Pokémon cartridge at GameStop, alarming retro gamers.
A Reddit post in the GameBoy subreddit caught some eyes. It showed a fake yellow Game Boy Pokémon cartridge displayed at a GameStop. The post received many comments, pointing out the poor quality of this bootleg Pokémon game.
The GameStop problem is that the corporation has a trade in quota for each store. Even if the employee knows that someone is trying to trade in a repro they’re encouraged to buy it to meet the quota. That shit gets sent to a centralized warehouse anyway.
