Pokemon- Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Discussion

[Cress]

Preordered Alpha Sapphire at GameStop today, will get the posters when it comes out, and got Heracronite in X because of their event.

Preordered both games recently, but I'll have to go back in to get the evo stones .

Can't really say for sure because I checked serebii and it doesn't say. But most likely shiny beldum is mystery gift or a code you get that will be in the game box, like speed boost torchic.

Cosplay pikachu would be either mystery gift, received in-game, or maybe you can just dress up any normal pikachu you find

That contest girl with the altaria gives you cosplay pikachu after you compete in your first contest.

Much wow. Mega Heracross too stronk. Only Mega Mewtwo X is more powerful than it. Lol.

I'll be pre-ordering mine next week (Getting paid Tuesday!!) debating between GAME and Amazon:
Amazon- Cheaper at ?30 each and will refund difference if the price drops but even with their release date guarantee I haven't always received on release and doesn't normally have a pre-order bonus.
GAME- More expensive at ?32.99 each and doesn't refund difference but has had a 90% rate of arriving at least 3/4 days before release date when I have pre-ordered other games from them (Might not happen though after the XY early release problem in Europe), I'll get reward points and they normally have a nice pre-order bonus. (I'll be pre-ordering online if you can't tell)

Which should I go for? I'd like to save money, but the chance of cutting down that European week wait is quite tempting...

Game, for 3 pounds more you seem to be getting quite a bit more if the bonus' and ealier send out date do happen

Yeah I think I will go with Game, if they don't deliver earlier at least I will get some reward points (I think you get double with a pre-order) and a bonus item.

^To add more into the mix. Shopto.net often dispatch before Game, but it'll be another couple quid.

Though why not shrug and say, I'll end up with both games anyway and order one version with one store and the other from somewhere else.

I stopped using Shopto ages ago, three orders with them that they took our money and never sent the items, they also refused to refund... I like getting Game reward points since I just used them to get e-shop cards and I have faith in Game delivering my copies before release.

Fair enough, I haven't had a problem with them so far. And I can't remember the conversion for Game points, but I imagine that probably makes them the more attractive offer.

Almost have my team all ready for the game--working on the last ribbon I can earn without leveling them or the two modes I can't do and then it's just a matter of figuring out their move sets.

...I like preparing in advance

This was posted on Japan's Pok?mon YouTube page. Typical strange Japanese stuff.

Same! I thought I was a perfectionist weirdo by doing so. The only one I want to have at the start of the game is my starter.

Creepy and repetitive.

Heh. Still figuring out whether or not I want to breed prep most of my team or catch them in the wild. Not to mention which ones will I use and which ones will I not?

For those of you in Europe, a load of new details have come about the upcoming release of the Pok?mon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire games. First, a special steelbook edition is to be released in Europe. In addition to that, UK pre-order bonuses have been revealed.
Those pre-ordering the Pok?mon Alpha Sapphire Limited Edition SteelBook from the Official Nintendo UK Store will receive a miniature representation of Primal Kyogre, whilst those ordering pre-ordering the Pok?mon Omega Ruby will receive a miniature representation of Primal Groudon. Both are ideal as collectibles for fans.
Those who pre-order either Pok?mon Omega Ruby or Pok?mon Alpha Sapphire as a standalone game from GAME will receive one Legendary Figurine of either Primal Groudon (Pok?mon Omega Ruby) or Primal Kyogre (Pok?mon Alpha Sapphire).
Those who pre-order either Pok?mon Omega Ruby or Pok?mon Alpha Sapphire as a standalone game from ShopTo will receive a 2D Keyring of Torchic, one of the three starter Pok?mon in Pok?mon Omega Ruby and Pok?mon Alpha Sapphire.

I will comment more on this later since I'm at work but I really want the Steelbook versions but I want to pre-order from GAME...
EDIT: Ah, screw it I'll still pre-order from GAME and preorder the steelbooks from Nintendo, I have the money for it... I'll just have two copies for challenge runs or I'll sell/giveaway the two normal editions to two of my friends...

those steelbook versions look amazing!!
