    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.

  • You can preorder it now? Isn't that a little early?

  • 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.

  • I'll try to reserve one of the games as soon as I can. As for bonuses, maybe a rare, shiny, or legendary Pokemon to download would be cool to have.

    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.

    You can bet your sweet booty I'll be pre-ordering. Not now, since I have no money lol. But asap, and hopefully they'll have secret early releases like they did with XY. c;

  • You know what? I have never preordered before, nor have I done a midnight release or anything of that nature, but I may just try to this time around!
