    Hi all,

    Anyone know anyone (in Dublin) that stocks secondhand GBA games? I want to get Pokemon Emerald to try the Nuzlocke challenge and make use of Pal Park!

    And Hoenn was the best in terms of variety of pokemon too.

    Anyone have any ideas? Or failing that, somewhere cheap to get one online?

    Dont know anywhere that sells GBA games anymore, but try some second hand shops/music stores. Be carful buying online as they could be fake, and in fake games, you wont be able to palpark pokemon onto a ds cart

    I still have my emerald cart somewhere, could sell it to ya. About 15 quid seems fair since it's pretty rare these days. No box or manual though.

    If you're buying through e-bay, just make sure the cart is green, the picture looks like it was taken for the ad rather than sourced for the ad if you know what I mean, ask the seller for pics of both sides of the cart (so you can look for a tri-gram screw head) and if possible a shot of the board up the connector so you can spot Nintendo branding etc etc - there are guides on what to look for. Proper carts are usually reassuringly expensive, €15-25 depending on condition and packaging, although for the upper end you'd be looking for Red/Green redux with the wireless GBA adapter.

    Also another tip would be to try buy from the UK or the US and avoid Hong Kong and other Asian countries. Japan is generally fine though. I have a fake Emerald and it has the tri-gram screw head so just be careful.

    I just got Ruby and Emerald off of eBay €15 for both but the internal batteries are dead and the files keep corrupting the guy said he's gonna send me out replacements which is extremely dodgy in my opinion(does he just have loads of copies of these games lying around? I doubt it) but yea nuzlockes were horrible i kept endin up with like two beautiflys and **** what a pain :mad: I only got them so is i could get me a regi trio
