Yes, it's fake, APAE is the code for Pokemon Pearl, not Platinum, it should be CPUE (as per the front of the cartridge on the sticker). The text looks blurry, the plastic looks odd, the 0J09 is a common pirated code (last four digits on the back).

Understood. Thanks for taking the time to educate me!
This is some impressive knowledge. How do you know all this?
Autism.
Well played
reminds me of the time I bought HeartGold and didn't realize it was fake til I got to the casino and it glitched 😵💫
Definitely fake. Batch identifier plus a lot of things (label quality, top notch) being a bit off, and the stamp code not being CPUENXXXX. https://www.gameverifying.com/wiki/cart-based-systems/nds
