Have you preordered?
 
Who has preordered OR or AS or maybe even both?

I preordered AS along with the handbook

Are there any preorder bonuses???

Nakasu November 13th, 2014 11:59 AM

Well, yah I've preordered Alpha Sapphire. I'm not too sure I think the Shiny Metang with the Mega Stone is a preorder bonus.

Shiny Beldum w/ mega stone is a wifi event like Torchic w/ mega stone was in X&Y - not a pre order bonus.

idk about pre order bonuses but I think in the US, gamestop gives you a poster, walmart gives you a figure, and if you pre order both at Toys R Us you get either a mega charizard X or Y plush. UK i think you get the steelbook + figure if you pre order from the nintendo store.

ShadowSlashz November 13th, 2014 11:18 PM

Ok thanks i got mine from Amazon uk there wasn't a bonus I think :)

If you don't mind paying a teensy bit extra, go with GAME if you want a pre-order bonus: they come with very nice Primal Kyogre/Primal Groudon figurines. If you've got money to throw away, they do expensive steelbook editions without the figurines too. Or, if you don't want to pay extra and want a pre-order bonus, ShopTo offer a Torchic keyring with either version...not as awesome as figurines, but still. xD

I've gone with the standard editions at GAME, because the figurines are nice. I'm hovering over preordering the guide as well, if only because mother and I have bought guidebooks for every other Pokemon game to date...not that I ever saw the X/Y one, because she's kept it in her room. Don't really need them, but they're good quality, so why not?

ShadowSlashz November 14th, 2014 12:00 AM

I decided to go with amazon because I have a £30 voucher

Judge Mandolore Shepard November 14th, 2014 7:34 AM

I preordered Pokemon Alpha Sapphire at GameStop months ago. Course I will be getting a double sided preorder bonus. Now I have to wait until next Friday for it to come out.

janejane6178 November 14th, 2014 9:29 AM

am i the only one who's planning to download it on e-shop ? :O

ShadowSlashz November 14th, 2014 10:19 AM

Other people will get it from the e-shop too! Don't worry tbh I think its a good idea as there will be no waiting for delivery and it will be instant!

FlyingBeastie November 14th, 2014 10:40 AM

I have pre-ordered both the steelbooks from the Nintendo shop, hopefully they will arrive on the 28th since they are coming straight from Nintendo. I'm also downloading both from the Japanese e-shop on my Japanese N3DS, maybe not directly on release since I'm working but probably on the 22nd.

MarinoKadame November 14th, 2014 11:13 AM

At first I wanted to get it on the e-shop but I recently got an SD card corruption by just turning on my 3DS in the morning after everything was fine the night before, I ended up losing 100+ hours of Bravely Default and the ORAS demo saved gamebut I still managed to save Fantasy Life save file. Also since pokemon cannot backup save files it's better that it save on cartridge instead of an SD card.

blue November 14th, 2014 11:42 AM

Not yet, will be tomorrow though. Hopefully in enough time to still receive a Steelbook.

ShadowSlashz November 14th, 2014 11:48 AM

That steel book version sounds awesome :)

Pendraflare November 14th, 2014 11:54 AM

I was originally going to wait until the 22nd, but I decided to cut that and pre-order them. I have both versions on my money, so i'll have them ready.

ShadowEdge November 14th, 2014 12:43 PM

Just payed off my copy and going to the midnight release so ready!!!!!! :)

epicbiscuit23 November 14th, 2014 12:53 PM

Preordered alpha sapphire can't wait for it!

clbgolden November 14th, 2014 1:20 PM

Haven't pre-oredered yet, probably will soon though.

GhostTrainer November 14th, 2014 2:10 PM

I pre-ordered the Dual Pack from Amazon, 7 more days!

The Fourteenth Doctor November 14th, 2014 2:29 PM

Pre ordered both, Omega Ruby from Amazon (I had a £30 voucher) and Alpha Sapphire from Shopto

Glameows November 15th, 2014 10:17 AM

I pre-ordered Alpha Sapphire with the Kyogre figure from GAME :)

ShadowSlashz November 15th, 2014 1:48 PM

Nice :)

cmtthws92 November 15th, 2014 1:56 PM

Downloading the game on the eshop at midnight :D

ShadowSlashz November 15th, 2014 2:05 PM

That's a good idea no waiting for delivery either :)

J a s m i n e © November 15th, 2014 4:21 PM

No, I don't usually pre-order. I'm one of the fewer people who are able to just walk into my local GameStop and walk out with the games I want. I never have any issues...

SirRidge November 15th, 2014 5:00 PM

North America really got the short end of the stick this time around for preorder bonuses... That being said I do have Alpha Sapphire preordered and also have money just sitting on my eshop account to get Omega Ruby digitally.

CalzoneCannon November 15th, 2014 5:07 PM

I've been thinking about getting the book, though I've already preordered both games and that would bring the total up to $100... I actually have to buy food...

Death November 15th, 2014 5:09 PM

I pre-ordered. It comes with a figurine. I don't really care about the figurine though. But hopefully, I can get it on day one, since if I can't, it's a week or so worth of waiting until there are stocks again. Hrng

CalzoneCannon November 15th, 2014 5:09 PM

i'm also disappointed with the pre-order bonuses, they didn't even give me my poster when I ordered both X & Y.

icycatelf November 15th, 2014 5:39 PM

I've always had bad luck with preordering the games. I either don't get the bonus, get the game late, or find out that I could've gotten an even better deal if I had waited until the day the games came out.

I stopped preordering after BW. =_=

GhostTrainer November 15th, 2014 5:41 PM

I just wish that North America got a good exclusive other than a Dual Pack.

isael-21 November 15th, 2014 5:57 PM

Pre-ordered AS from GameStop. Guy convinced me when he said they would open 2 hours earlier that day :D

Besides I was going to get it from Amazon which would take A COUPLE of days to get to me.

The hype's been waay to high for me to wait. No no.

No pre-oder bonus from GameStop as far as I know, but I don't mind unless it was a special Poke :P

SnowpointQuincy November 15th, 2014 6:12 PM

Toys-R-Us is offering a Mega-Charizard (X or Y) Plush to those who order both games... what stinks is that Not every Store is doing it. I don't want to cold call a kid's store and ask about it so nuts to that.

It would be nice though.

Candy November 15th, 2014 6:27 PM

What is this pre-order you're talking about? :'D

Dangit, I really envy other countries getting beautiful pre-order bonuses... Oh well, I've already reserved a copy at the closest video game shop around (which is still an hour away anyway), so I can pick it up on the weekend of the ORAS release. :>

Otherwise, I'll have to wait for another week or two, like back with X and Y :'D

εcho. November 15th, 2014 7:33 PM

I preordered Alpha Sapphire from Amazon and plan to download Omega Ruby at midnight to tide me over until it arrives! (hopefully on release day, since that's what I paid for lol).

^ Eh, eating is overrated. :P

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire November 15th, 2014 7:38 PM

I pre-ordered mine from Best Buy. I was going to get the Walmart pre-order but my sister had a 10 dollar coupon for Best Buy which she offered me to buy the game so I used it (saving 10 dollars is better than getting the toy...though I did struggle a little...darn I really haven't changed from when I was a kid being allured by toys such as those in Kids meals... Anyways during the pre-order I remember I brought White 2 there too...shows how important that day was in the long run for me...). Either way at least I have some gurantee of getting the game on the 21st (I would hate it to be another Pokemon Pearl at Walmart post Christmas 2007).

Rizardon November 15th, 2014 8:05 PM

I've preordered OR at EB Games about a month ago. It comes along with the nice little bonus Groundon figurine and I don't mind paying a bit more just to get it.

PembrokeWelshCorgi November 15th, 2014 8:45 PM

I pre-ordered both as a big step towards getting back into the series after a couple years. I ordered the pack through Amazon (I don't like pre-ordering through retail stores, unless the incentive is too good to pass up). I'll have to wait a few days after release to get it, but I don't have a lot of free time during holiday season due to my job, so it's works out well for me to have it delivered.

I won't be ordering the guide. I don't have any personal interest in owning one. I have all the information I need at the tip of my fingers.

Meganium November 15th, 2014 9:08 PM

Pre-ordered both! Did that right as I got my first paycheck. It'll be worth it as I get the games in about five days <3

Thursday November 15th, 2014 9:42 PM

Using my sister's student account on amazon to preorder AS so I'm suppose to get it on the day it drops by 8pm (not that it matters since I'll have to be at work at 5pm :\). I'll have to get someone to hold it for me until I get off work.

Odyssey November 15th, 2014 10:36 PM

Yup! I've pre-ordered Alpha Sapphire. I was originally going for Omega Ruby, but I decided to switch versions after finding out that a group of people decrypted the demo of ORAS. Because of that, they were able to find out things like which Pokémon are obtainable or what not.

That being said, there's one Pokémon I always use in every post-game, and it's a version exclusive in Alpha Sapphire. Because of that, I'm going to put that Pokémon in a spoiler box in case you don't like them :P

Spoiler:
It's Sawk.


As for pre-order bonuses... I know that Australia is giving out a bonus, but I don't remember what they're giving out. I believe it's the same as the UK.

ShadowSlashz November 16th, 2014 4:45 AM

Im glad I preordered but I guess im gonna have to wait 1 week extra as im in the UK !

BeachBoy November 16th, 2014 4:02 PM

Preordered from Toys 'R Us for the Charizard X plushie. \o/ Woop woop.

Venitardus November 16th, 2014 5:29 PM

I preordered alpha sapphire and sometime later down the road I might get omega ruby
