Nintendo should realize that people don't wanna go outside to get these codes.

Yup

We already know of two. Camerupt and Sharpedo are version exclusive. So it's not a matter of speculating anymore.

when's amercian dmeo again

Soon probably. I'll pick mine up when I go in for the Gengar event.

Yup

I have no doubt in my mind there will be. They'll probably do some events to release them for the other game like the Heracross/Pinsir event. Still waiting for our American Charizard event. :/

They were confirmed? I mean it seems like reasonable speculation but I wouldn't say it's confirmed unless I've missed a news tidbit.

Sucks that Europeans have to go to events, especially since they might not be able to go/afford it. :/ Really hope they don't plan on doing this kind of nonsense in the US. At least expand beyond Gamestop.

Serebii Update: The Netherlands to receive the ORAS demo at firstlook event on October 11th/12th http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml

Europe is getting way more promotions than Japan for this game. This and the metal boxes and the figures are all Europe only, right?

Yes but why does japan need promotion? They're going to sell like hot cakes regardless

I know, but it's strange for Japan to not be getting a promotion Europe is getting. (They kinda deserve it with their 30 or so special editions 3DSes that the rest of the world will never get. And their Club Nintendo. How I want those rewards so much.)

 

[Reindeer]

Nintendo is trying to make up for the arbitrary week that we have to wait for these games.

what do you mean "Japan not getting a promotion Europe is getting" the 2DS isn't even released in Japan LOL how is it possible for them to get a 2DS bundle???

And even if you want to point out they could get a different console bundle, Japan is already getting ORAS themed New 3DS bundles;

 

[Silversea]

Re: the special 2DS. The box looks better than the actual 2DS. Minorly disappointed but aren't these the first special 2DS models? I don't know any others anyway.

For the German TBT members:

For those of you in Germany, the details of the Pok?mon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire demo have been released. This demo is to be distributed in German McDonalds restaurants utilising the Nintendo Zone on your Nintendo 3DS from October 15th. To access it, you simply access the option in the Nintendo Zone to receive a code that can be redeemed at the Nintendo eShop.

I don't know whether this is good or bad for you (I know McDonalds is though! *badum tish*) but it really seems that Nintendo wants to drag people out of their homes to get these codes- bar the UK emails...

 

[Reindeer]

Nintendo Zone in McDonald's is way more accessible than the event I'll have to attend for the demo. You don't even have to purchase anything to use that zone. Jeez.

 

[lazuli]

i'm so glad that mcdonalds is a nintendo zone, i usually go there once a week (drive-thru and eating in).
i just bought 50 of all the purchasable(?) pokeballs in Y i am unstoppable

E: also, does anyone have any favourite spots for chain-fishing with the old rod in gen VI? specifically Y?

we should talk about something that makes everybody cry: iv breeding and breeding in general. i hatched i think 4 bagons yesterday and they were all missing one iv, which is INFURIATING.

 

[Zuko]

@cosmonaut, that was a rather depressing first sentence.

What makes me cry is collecting stuff .-. Whole pokdex spanned out over 2 months, still cant get a sandstorm vivillon, unown... just ugh.

It's satisfying once u complete it though.

[Zuko]
