So, just stopped by the Gamestop closest to my work and pre-ordered ORAS. I know rhere is no bonus yet, I just wanted to have my foot in the door for November. So this leads me to asking: will you be pre-ordering or waiting for the games to come out?

Do you hope there is a pre-order bonus?


If at all possible, I'd like to keep this thread for when Pre-order bonuses are available.

I'll wait for Amazon to list Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Since they're remakes, I don't need to have them on release day. I can play my original Ruby and Sapphire games until they arrive.

...Seriously, Amazon, it's been a whole day since they were announced, so why don't you have a page for them yet?

Not me, I'll most likely get the games as a Christmas gift again like I did with the last two pairs of main series games (Black 2/White 2 and X/Y) since there's always a tendency I get my Pokemon games around that period, or if the release date is earlier than October, my birthday.

You can preorder it now? Isn't that a little early?
The guy that was in charge of the store was surprised they were pre-ordering as well. I walked in and started talking about the games then asked if they could pre-order yet. He said there was no email but checked anyway and they are on the list for pre-orders.

Generally once a game is known with a subjective release date Gamestop can start holds for Pre-orders.

I will "pre-order" in a sense that I go in-store and pay a deposit for them to reserve a copy for me on release day, that's with GAME. They have been pretty impressive with pre-order bonuses lately taking the X & Y Pokéball cartridge holder for example, I'm sure they will come up with something nifty for these games too.

I'm going to pre-order them. I'm just going to wait until more details about the pre-orders are available. I'm hoping to buy it online from a place that will have release date delivery unlike with Pokemon X and Y.

If not, then ♥♥♥♥ it. I'll just download it from the E-shop or whatever the hell nintendo calls there little store on the 3DS.

I don't think I'll preorder, I'll just go to the vidogame shop near my workplace and buy them, unless there's an event-exclusive Pokémon as a preorder bonus.

Last time I preordered on Amazon and got the games two days late, I'll try not to repeat the same mistake again.

Since ORAS will be released sometime in November (hopefully before my birthday!), I will definitely be preordering it, whether it has a pre-bonus special or not. I'm hoping for a midnight release on Game Stop or something because this is is too exciting. :D

I'll definitely be pre-ordering them. I hope there is a pre-order bonus, maybe something cool like a poster with artwork of Groudon and Kyogre like they appear on the cover, whatever the forms turn out to be.

I don't think I'll be pre-ordering considering that I had issues with my Y pre-order. That or I'll pre-order from Game Stop instead of Amazon.

I'll be preordering! At some point when I have money lol. My friends and I are gonna do the same thing we did with XY- preorder from the same store, pick them up on release day, and then go back to my house and play for fourteen hours. -v-

I plan to preorder Alpha Sapphire sometime either this month or next month. Course when I do preorder it, it will be the only Pokemon game I will be preordering, but not the only video game I will preorder from GameStop.

I've got an EB Games/GameStop gift card from my birthday that I still haven't used yet, so part of that is definitely going towards a pre-order of Alpha Sapphire. I'll be waiting to see if there's any pre-order bonus for it though, since it makes no difference to me if I pre-order it now or a week before it comes out- I still won't be getting it until November either way.

Whether there's anything special or not, I'll probably pre-order Alpha Sapphire on amazon. Or if is have enough money, I'll just go to gamestop and pre-order both of them.

I always preorder my Pokemon games (and really most others.) There's never really much incentive to do so though, I guess I do it out of habit at this point. Probably will this time too lol.

I'll be pre-ordering but probably about a month before release day since now seems a bit.. early. Maybe late summer at earliest. Definitely have to ensure that I get a copy right on release. :D
