Encapsulated and graded 9.0 with a “First-Party H-Seam” seal rating of A++ by WATA Games. Pokemon's video game history can be traced to the September 1998 release of "Pokemon Red" and its counterpart "Pokemon Blue" for the handheld Nintendo Game Boy. We've seen many Pokemon games since, but not many remembered as fondly as these two. The two games sold a combined 31 million copies, making it the second-best-selling Game Boy game ever. It's a landmark role-playing game, appreciated years later for many of the game's concepts and gameplay.
This presented copy features Sandshrew in one of the gameplay photos on the backside, making this copy extremely rare. A "Made in Japan" label and a pixelated "E" rating label from the ESRB appear on this "100% Fiber, Double-ended" box. A rare, sealed copy of "Pokemon Red Version" with a Sandshrew screenshot comes with an attractive seal rating of A++ and an overall box grade of 9.0 that is pleasing to collectors of both video games and the "Pokemon" franchise.
