I'm looking at a copy of Emerald on eBay. I'm aware there are quite a few bootlegged Pokemon GBA games, so I want to be safe.

The guy has really good feedback.

I just want to clear this up by saying yes, it is fake.

So, what would happen if you put the fake into the system?

1. "Ha ha! You got swindled, idiot! Try Again."

2. Nothing would happen.

3. Game starts up. It just isn't the OFFICIALLY RELEASED game.

4. Something else I didn't list.

It's fake, while the Hologram is well done, the ESRB Logo looks so weird.
For reference, this is my Pokémon Emerald Cartridge, as seen 8 years after buying it (and it's original too):
