Pre Order Bonuses Speculation Thread!
 
We don't have any news of a Pre Order Bonus anywhere. This is why I made this thread, to discuss what you think will be the bonus. I think that it could be an Amiibo or action figure of the starters and Groudon and Kyogre (Rayquaza maybe?). Comment what you think!

GameStop's pre-order bonus is a poster. I don't know how you would type a raspberry noise, but I'm making that noise right now.

Would much rather see a keychain or other collectible. Or a release-day event Pokémon, now there's something worthwhile.

I just saw the poster, it's the same art as that of the Primal page (with them fighting). Now where is Primal Rayquaza in that poster...I wanted a Primal recreation of the Emerald poster.

They usually announce pre order bonuses closer to the actual release date. I remember I pre-ordered X & Y from GAME and not long after they announced the Pokéball cartridge holder as a bonus which I was pleased about. I'm hoping to do the same thing to get some sort of neat ORAS-related bonus item.

I just pre-ordered Alpha Sapphire from Target (lame, I know, but I had a gift card :P), so I'm not expecting any sort of pre-order bonus - if that is a thing. XD
I ordered a physical copy and it's supposed to be shipped to my school box after release. I might've done store pick up, but my college is in the middle of nowhere, and I have no car of my own, sooooo...

Though I think it would be nice to get something small like a collectible figure as a bonus.

Kotone August 20th, 2014 9:52 PM

why is it always a poster. japan got the cool pokeball ds game holder. i want that.

Mattysoxfan August 20th, 2014 10:34 PM

Well I remember they gave figures of Lugia and ho oh back when soulsilver and heart gold came out.

Still have that Lugia figure too.

Possible they could do the same with groudon and kyrogue. But this is me hoping yes but probably won't happen.

Gamestop is giving away double sided posters when you pre-order one of the two games and you get it when you pick up the game. It will have the Primals on one side and Mega Diance.

Wicked3DS August 21st, 2014 11:14 AM

Personally I'd like what they did with FireRed/LeafGreen where they gave a poster with the map of Kanto. I think a detailed map of Hoenn would be really cool, especially with Sootopolis City.

I think it's pretty funny that they'll give us a poster of Mega Diancie before we even have the movie or the Pokemon announced!

The Pokemon has been officially announced/revealed, but not distributed outside of Japan. The movie will probably come in October or November (which is when ORAS comes out...which will make sense as it's Mega stone will be in these games, so it'll promote ORAS in a way) for us in the West.

Target's bonus is a $5 gift card iirc. I was planning on going to pre-order it this weekend, but busy :[

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 21st, 2014 7:16 PM

Does anyone know if Gamestop will have the game by the 21st? Or does it usually come a day or so late?

FlamebirdXZ August 22nd, 2014 12:35 PM

It's usually right on time. Some of them do midnight releases

Well that's a little tempting, there's a Target within walking distance of me so I might have to take that up 8) As long as I get the game I'm happy!

FlamebirdXZ August 24th, 2014 2:21 AM

I pre ordered AS at target too for the gift card. I work there so I also get my discount and another discount for using my red card. :D I pre ordered OR at game stop also just for the poster.

Rou.Tsuki August 24th, 2014 8:51 PM

Pre-ordered at GameStop just because I was trying to kill three birds with one stone (plus I had a $25 gift card to use). Download Event Pokemon and get Mega Stone code. UNFORTUNATELY, Nintendo didn't send the code cards out in time and many of the stores had conflicting information about it. Ah well, got it on Saturday so now just gotta wait for the game. ^_^

Just up on Serebii:
For those of you in Europe, a load of new details have come about the upcoming release of the Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire games. First, a special steelbook edition is to be released in Europe. In addition to that, UK pre-order bonuses have been revealed.
Those pre-ordering the Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Limited Edition SteelBook from the Official Nintendo UK Store will receive a miniature representation of Primal Kyogre, whilst those ordering pre-ordering the Pokémon Omega Ruby will receive a miniature representation of Primal Groudon. Both are ideal as collectibles for fans.
Those who pre-order either Pokémon Omega Ruby or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire as a standalone game from GAME will receive one Legendary Figurine of either Primal Groudon (Pokémon Omega Ruby) or Primal Kyogre (Pokémon Alpha Sapphire).
Those who pre-order either Pokémon Omega Ruby or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire as a standalone game from ShopTo will receive a 2D Keyring of Torchic, one of the three starter Pokémon in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.




Since I have money to kill and I already preordered from GAME, I'm getting the ORAS steelbooks and giving the standard GAME copies to two of my friends. I have to have the steelbooks, they are so pretty! Sure I might have to wait a bit longer, but it will be worth it to make myself and my friends happy.

blue August 28th, 2014 3:14 AM

Ok now I don't know where to pre order from, all of the bonuses look awesome! Guess that's the reward for waiting an extra week for release date.

obZen August 28th, 2014 7:26 AM

I hope they give a throwback to these:

Hopefully it'd be the prehistoric forms

Arrow_Riddari August 28th, 2014 7:32 AM

Seriously want the steelbook thing, but pity I am in America... But, I am waiting for any pre-release bonuses. I am sure they will do one eventually. I will get it then.

Also, for the person who bought it at Target, Target usually does a special Pokemon giveaway for people who get the game from them. I remember for one of the games, there was one giveaway of some Pokemon that I wanted, but I never went to Target to buy the game.

Pendraflare August 28th, 2014 8:15 AM

Yeah, last I was at GameStop I asked what they might have, but they didn't have any indication of what the bonus would be although they said it was likely one would come.

I don't know if i'll be pre-ordering mine anyway though, because I think i'll have the chance to get my copies at Nintendo World in NYC.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 28th, 2014 1:30 PM

I want the Steelbox. Omega Ruby's box art looks better imo.

Bounsweet August 28th, 2014 1:43 PM

I like the double-sided poster, but Idk which side I will be using to hang up in my room, lol :(

I'm getting a little bit tired of the posters, though. Just a little, I still have Pokémon Through The Years and the poster of Xerneas and Yveltal hanging up in my room. I still have my Lugia and Giratina figurines too, now those were cool pre-order bonuses.

FlamebirdXZ August 28th, 2014 1:50 PM

Ugh why aren't these available in America. Im thinking of ordering all 4 versions now lol but that so much money D: I might just wait till people start selling the steel cases on ebay
