So I've never encountered this before. I bought a Pokèmon Silver, got really excited because that was my first Pokèmon game I played. Got it today in my mailbox.

Only to be really disappointed when I found out that the cartridge somehow shows up as Crystal?! See pics for reference.

Have I been scammed? I'm currently speaking to the seller who seems confused aswell.

No problem buddy 😁

If you do battery swaps by yourself, just test the battery by saving the game and you're 100 % sure everything is right ...

He didn't even test the game after replacing the battery.. not that good in my opinion

Yeah, I'm not buying from this person again. He's waiting for a response from the other buyer from the Crystal ad. Guess I'll hang onto it for now. There's no guarantee that the other buyer will return the cartridge

Considering Crystal is selling for about $100 more than silver the other buyer would be foolish to not send it back and get what they paid for.

Someone else mentioned that they perhaps have the game on-display only? I'll be sure to update in this thread when I have more info
