The Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby release date is nearly upon us, the game hits retail stores and Nintendo’s 3DS eShop in digital form on November 21st, 2014 in America, Australia & Japan. And on November 28th, 2014 in Europe (next Friday).
Check out the new Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Overview Trailer.
There is still time to track down some of the pre-order bonuses offered, especially if you live in Europe. Just remember that stores only have these pre-order goodies “while supplies last”, so get out there and search for one while you still can!
Here’s the Pokemon Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Pre-Order Bonus Goodies image gallery. Click on any of these image thumbnails to see the full-size photos:
Keep in mind that some stores will have pre-order bonuses left over, so be sure to sweet-talk to the clerks to convince them to give one to you if you are without a pre-order goodie.
If you haven’t done so already, here is what to look for:
UK – Primal Groudon & Primal Kyogre Figurine
By far the best of the pre-orders on offer, UK gamers who pre-order either Pokemon Omega Ruby or Pokemon Alpha Sapphire will recieve a toy figurine of the legendary Pocket Monsters who grace the two game’s cover.
If you pre-order Omega Ruby, you’ll get a Primal Groudon figure, and if you pre-order Alpha Sapphire, you will get a Primal Kyogre figure! You can also get a cool Steelbook case (depending on the bundle) as I detailed in this Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Collector’s Edition article.
UK – Torchic Keychain
In addition to the above, gamers in the United Kingdom also have access to a cool Torchic Keychain if you pre-order your copy of Pokemon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire from ShopTo.
USA – Primal Groudon & Primal Kyogre Figurine
UPDATE! Walmart in the United States is now offering the same Primal Groudon & Primal Kyogre figures being found in the UK, Australia & New Zealand! Currently out of stock, so you may want to sweet talk a Walmart store worker or become friends with one to see if you can nab this figure!
USA – Mega Charizard X & Mega Charizard Y Plushie
American gamers have the next best deal… or the best deal depending on how you look at it. If you live in the United States and pre-order your copy of Pokemon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire from Toys R Us, you can nab a plushie of either Mega Charizard X form (Charizard’s Mega Evolution from Pokemon X) or Mega Charizard Y (Charizard’s Mega Evolution from Pokemon Y). Sweet!
USA – Poster
American gamers who pre-order Pokemon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire at GameStop, can net themselves a sweet double-sided poster for their troubles!
Canada – Poster
Canadians arent entirely without a pre-order goodie. If you pre-order from either EB Games or Videotron, as well as participating Toys R Us stores, you can snag a Hoenn Region poster!
Australia – Primal Groudon & Primal Kyogre Figurine
The same figures available in the UK are also being offered by EB Games in Australia.
New Zealand – Primal Groudon & Primal Kyogre Figurine
Ditto for New Zealand, head to EB Games to get your Primal Groudon & Primal Kyogre Figurine.
Remember that ebay and Craigslist, as well as game collecting and game trading websites, are a gold mine to find pre-order bonuses if you officially miss out on one. So don’t lose hope and good luck!
