When it comes to Nintendo, when they say limited edition they mean it unlike a majority of other company game franchises.Katze wrote:

Welp, I pre-ordered Alpha Sapphire ;;
I'm under the impression that it's once-per-person, though I've never really participated in these events, so I wouldn't know... it's got me interested anyway though.Katze wrote:
Hello Guys! I'm here to tell you that I received a Download-Code for either a Charizard + Charizardite Y or a Charizard + Charizardite X.
If any of you want the code, I'll gladly give it to you, but we have to figure out if it actually works, since its from Austria.
I can also simply download it and trade it with you guys, just tell me if any of you need that Charizard!

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Pre-order Bonus for Japan
A new trailer has come out for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire has been revealed and showcases various aspects of the game including diving and more. There also appeared to be a feature where you can see parts of a Pokémon in the wild, such as Pikachu's tail, and approach it to appear in battle
In addition to this, it features details on the Japanese pre-order details. Pre-orders in Japan open on September 20th and all who pre-order will receive special figures of Primal Groudon & Primal Kyogre, different to the ones Europe is receiving. If you pre-order a special double pack of the games (comes with both games and both figures) for 9,142¥, you will also receive 100 Potions through 2 Serial Codes, one for each game. If you download the digital version of the game between November 21st 2014 and November 30th 2014, you will receive 12 Quick Balls. We also got dating for the shiny Beldum event. It will run from November 21st 2014 until January 14th 2015
Edit @ 05:06: It is also confirmed, through images of the Download Card, that Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire will require approximately 1.8GB in order to download to your Nintendo 3DS. This is a further 100MB more than Pokémon X & Y
Edit @ 07:05: In addition to the above pre-order bonuses, if you pre-order two copies at Pokémon Centers in Japan, you will also receive a special Hoenn Artbook, and if you pre-order just one, you get the aforementioned figures as well as a shiny metallic poster of the box-art

Wait, the WHOLE game is only 1.8GB? I always thought that they were more... memory intensive, seeing as a cartridge can hold up to 8GB.Serebii wrote:
