The digits will usually be on the top right or the bottom left of the manual. That being said, it's not a sure fire sign a game is legitimate, but the main manual for the game should also have the same line of digits that the cart will have on the sticker on the front.
A lot of scammers aren't going to bother printing manuals just for a bootleg game. If you come across a pre-owned DS game on eBay that doesn't have photos of the back, but comes with the original case and has the manuals included, it's probably real. Throughout the game, you can collect lives, power, and hearts to keep. It is a platformer game released in 2000 with Pikachu as its main character.
The gameplay is also different from the regular Pokemon games in the main series. The ones that do are almost always trustworthy though, since they seem to know that viewing the back of the cart is a good indicator of whether or not a cart is fake.

Pokemon (PD) is a hacked or bootleg Pokemon game that allows you to take on an adventure as Pikachu in various areas. The issue with eBay is that not all sellers show photos of the back of their carts. All the fake carts I've seen so far at least will either have no mark there at all, or the top will even feel/look a bit "rough" and maybe even have tiny pieces of plastic sticking out.
The Nintendo logo will also appear different from legitimate carts a lot of the time, and sometimes will even feel different when you run a nail over it.Īlso, one thing I've never seen a fake cart be able to perfect, is the rectangular groove/mark on the top of DS carts. Every fake cart I've seen so far, the digits don't match. The 4 digits in the mid section of the DS cart on the sticker on the front should always match the digits on the back of the cart.
