How do I tell which copy I have?

Look at the rating badge on the front of the box.

An ESRB box, black and white with a letter in it, means a North American copy. Canadian copies have the same front with a bilingual back.
A PEGI square with the age in it means a European copy. France and Italy had boxes of their own for the same cartridge.
The Australian classification mark (G, PG, M, MA 15+ or R 18+) means an Australian copy, which is PAL like Europe's.

Not that we've seen. All 200+ sales so far were standard copies.

How quickly does Pokémon Sapphire Version sell?
