I love when retards sell their garbage for lots of money. Same feeling as seeing a crappy CRT with only RF inputs listed for sale as "gaming TV" for 800 dollars.

>>9682349
How do people ruin their games like this? I never so much have gotten a scratch on any game I own, not even the sticker on the games

>>9682427
low iq, thats why we see so many of those in the americas

>>9682427
I've had a gba cart go through a laundry machine. Still works too, and looks less damaged then op.

>>9682427
Its called "pocket" monsters for a reason. Kids were putting these in their pockets, sitting on them, leaving them in pockets they washed, treated carelessly like toys, etc.
R/B sold 31 million copies, how many of those people were truly smart or careful? Hell even some geniuses live in squalor

>>9682349
We must live in the same country you and I. It's like these tards think their blown out consoles and games actually appreciate in value just because it touched their hands.

Would anyone really want that more than a repro? yeesh.

>>9682427
I have no idea. Retardation is all I can come up with. The only game that I have that's damaged like that is a Men in Black GBC game that I found half submerged in a mud puddle five years ago. I wasn't even that careful with my stuff as a kid. I left them in the floor and shit.

>>9682349
If this cart could speak huh guys? I bet itd have a tale or two to spin huh? Seen some action yeah? Been around the block and then some hey? Not it's first rodeo amirite? Huh?

>>9683743
i love you retards acting like you're amazed that people take things for granted. Yes, some retard kept this in his bookbag or something for months and it's a war crime to you people

>>9683886
It would probably act like a traumatized Vietnam veteran.

The condition of the item reflects that of the owner.

You know... you'd think there would come a breaking point and people would finally realize that one old game with a smashed up cartridge isn't worth over half of the average paycheck, yet here we are. I thought we would've reached that point by now.

>>9685697
it rarely ever does buddy. some people just grew out of pokemon and

hello, is this still available? i'll offer 40 dollars for it.

>>9684173
T. retard that doesn't take care of shit.

>>9686004
well I guess I don't because I don't know where my red version went. that said, it's easy to say shit like this when you're talking about taking care of cartridges. I bet all your cartridges are very safe, anon

This is why I buy Japanese games. I got Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Gold, and Crystal for 40$ in total, which used to be the reasonable asking price for old software. Most other Japanese Game Boy games barely breach 12$ on eBay.

>>9682418
Why would you need anything besides? Plugging anything besides a coaxial cable into your TV for gen 3/4 is just autism , and gen 5/6 look better emulated at higher resolution

>>9686035
They are, actually.

Have you ever noticed it's only American games that have this issue? Not to say that Americans necessarily take worse care of games than Japanese counterparts, but honestly, have you looked and inspected the sticker quality between US and Japanese releases? Japanese stickers were made of slightly better stuff. Glossier, much more resistant to wear and tear.

I can't read Japanese.

giving him a beard and making his nose bigger makes him kind of look like Tom Green

>>9686182
that's funny, I thought the same thing

>>9686035
The idea that someone takes care of their possessions is so foreign to you.

>>9687038
no I just think it's funny when you nerds sperg out over a gameboy cartridge as if it's some kind of litmus test. some people just rightfully stop caring about these things and leave them behind; then, you crawl out from the woodwork when one of these discarded objects is discovered to be damaged and you try to feign superiority in a mongolian basket weaving discussion yurt

Guys keep the pictures of these fucked up drawn on carts coming in dying

The Japanese in most console and handheld games isn't too hard. These games were made for little kids, and the reading level is correspondingly low.
Pokemon is written at about a first grade reading level. Most RPGs are tougher than that, but even if you had just learned the kana yesterday I doubt you'd ever be completely lost as long as you took it slow.
When I was starting out I cut my teeth on the GBA Dragon Quest Rocket Slime game and I never felt like I was struggling. Of course I had to look a lot of words up, but you don't spend that much time reading dialogue in this type of game anyway.

If there's an untranslated game you're really interested in trying, rather than waiting for a fan translation, I'd recommend taking a few hours to learn kana and the very basics of Japanese grammar and seeing how far you can get by yourself. It can turn an otherwise forgettable game into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
