ok children, listen up!
What you need to do is:
Take your suspicious looking gba cart,
Hold it label side up,
look as far back on the chip board as you can
if your game is legitimate, you should see nintendo in some form or other. Some have dates on (like my street fighter) some have nintendo in a circle
Also, turn the cart label side down and you should see some imprints saying - F >ABS< X=X (x being a number)
if your cart doesn't have these, your game is PIRATE! rat on the little b****r who sold it you!

Nothing in the UK would say RP anyway.
oh yeah, and say NO to anything that says RP or rating pending on it - it wouldn't be released without a rating!
Best way to tell - is the cartridge poorly put together - as if it were taken apart and re-stuck together?
Or is the seal of quality oval? If you've bought a GBA game in Europe it should be a perfect circle.
Also, is the age rating an ESRB or a PEGI/ELSPA one? Should be the latter.
Does it have a full manual?
Lastly, use your common sense. Anyone can put random numbers on a sticker.
