    • One of my favorite things to keep an eye out for when a new game gets revealed are the preorder bonuses. I can still remember back when Diamond and Pearl were released, I got the Dialga and Palkia DS styluses at Gamestop. I still have them to this day!

    Below are some of the various preorder bonuses being offered for Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Are you planning on preordering to receive any of these bonuses? Or do you not really care about what comes with your preorders?

    • I'mma pre-order them digitally and just get those bonuses. I don't care for physical items and such as it is! I don't gots the room for them in here sadly. All cute as heck though.

    • The metal keychains in the starters' original sprite designs are so cute and I definitely wouldn't mind having that! But I'll probably just download the game at midnight as usual (especially now that I'm in a timezone that will get it before most people). The pens are also cute. :D

    I've got these preordered from Shopto, which offer figurines! I have figures going all the way back to Platinum so getting a Dialga and Palkia for my shelf is highly appealing, haha. Unless the price discrepancy is huge or I have no other choice I will always go physical.

    As an aside, my mind reels at the thought of paying more money for a license as opposed to less money for an actual thing that you own…interesting times we live in, for digital to be a preference!

    This 100%. I have some friends who pay $30+ more for new games just to play it at midnight/without changing disc. Really don't get it. Also saddens me to think of a day when gaming goes solely digital and PS Store, Xbox Marketplace, eShop etc have a monopoly on pricing.

    • Apparently people in Korea are getting a Shiny Zacian and Zamazenta, which... I'd rather have instead of pins or notebooks or 50000 pokéballs, to be fair. Hope that promotion gets extended to everywhere.

    I'm really interested in Manaphy's egg, but I think I will wait for the release

    • The stores here weren't offering any store specific pre-order bonuses originally.
    They are now offering a code for a full set of apriballs.
    Kinda meh, but hey apriballs confirmed I guess xD

    Yeah, same here. It would be nice to get a Manaphy but I don't think I'd use it much anyway, plus I'm patient enough to wait in the unlikely case there's a surprise discount somewhere down the line.

    • I guess only manapy is a good to have but also not necessarily needed. If only they gave out Arceus or Giratina origin forme that would be much more enticing.
