Not always does it cost more to pre-order. In same cases, you come out with the same cost if shipping is free, while at other times you may come out cheaper or just a bit more expensive :| (but not by much). For HG/SS, sites such as Amazon offer free shipping on the games, so you come out just about the same as you would purchasing the games in a store.
Pre-ordering also doesn't show that someone is impatient for the games. When you pre-order a game you are assured of receiving it. While, if you go to the store, they may not always have it right away or it might be out of stock at that time. Also, it may just be convenient for the buyer at that time to pre-order it online or at their local retailer store than it would by the time the games comes out.
As for the pre-order bonus, it's just a gift to those who pre-order the games. At least their purchase was worthwhile and they gained something extra. Again, not all buyers pre-order a game just because of the added bonus, different people have different reasons.
Just thought I'd throw that in for you. :) Though, I never knew pre-ordering a game would make a person
irregular. ;_;
