I recently ordered a copy each of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Both games came from Hong Kong, but are completely in English. I received Pearl two days ago, and Diamond just yesterday.
However, I noticed that my newly received copy of Diamond has the following differences from both my Pearl copies:
-Diamond features its mascot Pokemon (Dialga) on the sticker. Pearl doesn't have a Pokemon on the sticker.
-On Diamond's sticker, blue light shoots from the "sky" like a spotlight. On Pearl's sticker, the orange-pinkish light just shines like... don't know what to compare it to.
-Diamond has a seal saying "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality." Pearl's just says "Official Nintendo Seal".
-On my Pearl game cards, you can see the words "The Pokemon Company" above the Nintendo logo. Not so on Diamond.
-On the back, you can see a bunch of letters and numbers behind the teeth of Diamond.
Is my newly-received copy of Pokemon Diamond a counterfeit? Will the data on it start deleting itself at some point or another, as had been the case with my first (pirated) copy of Pokemon Sapphire? If so, I might have to return it and get a refund. Should I?
