Pre-ordering Pokémon Leaf Green and Fire Red

[Gabriel Laurel]

Has anyone preordered it? <.< You get a fancy Pokémon Sidebag! I haven't gotten around to doing it myself yet, but I hear they're fancy.  

[Jishin]

Sidebag? I got the trainer guide, but who's giving out the sidebag? *looks curious*  

[Fox Demon Shippo]

I agree with Jishin....*stalks Gabe* ninja

Toys R Us and Future Shop, here. I've never seen the Trainer Guide, what's it like?

Ah. I always preorder from Gamestop because the guys at my Gamestop know me and save all the promo goodies for me. *has a Harvest Moon cow and a Zelda SwordPlay t-shirt because those guys are awesome*

The trainer guide is a small book that has a pull-out map of Kanto and a pull-out strength/weakness chart. It's not all that helpful to a rabid Pokefan who already knows how the game works, but it's very helpful for new players and gives some idea of the new features in the game. It's also got a spoofty battle log, which I don't know if I'll use, but could be handy if you're into analyzing how you play.

The strength/weakness chart that's fingertip-available is the best part, I think. It always seems to me that that gets buried in the hint guides somewhere where I can't find it. This one is on the last page, so it's easy to find.

WTF? That's all?!

Man, I want that sidebag instead!

But I've pre-ordered. A few weeks ago, at Target. I pick up my FireRed the twelfth of this month. ^__^

I only get a stupid poster for preordering and I have to wait until october to get it. sad

Why are the english the last to get anything interesting?

I suppose they're making up for the fact that we can get drunk 3 years earlier than the americans. blaugh  

[Toko Ojin]

I got the pocket trainer's guide and put the map on my wall when I preordered fire red! I'm BAAAACK! Pokèball GO! wink  

[Flanny-Chan]

Why pre-order it? If it's in the shops, I'll buy it immediately. Over here I'm not sure wheter you actually can preorder it or not. sweatdrop  

[Faux Desires]

A sidebag, huh? Interesting ninja

Well, normally when you pre-order stuff you get extra goodies you can't get any other way. sweatdrop  

[Jishin]

I preorder for multiple reasons. Of course, there are the goodies that come along with the preorder. But as I said before, I know the guys over at the GameStop and they know me. They've always been really helpful and terrific people to shop with, and so I am a loyal customer, as a repayment for their excellent service.

Being a loyal customer has its benefits too -- they'll save me a preorder gimme of a cool game, even if I'm not the first person in the door asking for it. That's how I got a Harvest Moon cow when the store only got two of them ... whee

Well, personally, I wish it was the same here. Our GameStop I've only been to twice, and only once to buy a game. I have never, in my 14 ((almost 15)) year old life, pre-ordered ANYTHING.......I know, I am so pathetic. I've never been to a concert, and have about 5 CDs.....two Pokémon ones...... sweatdrop  

[Odango Usagi]

Hmm? I guess what you get depends on where you live... neutral Oh, and I usually pre-order stuff so I don't have to pay as much when it comes out. ^^;  

[Inazuman Frash]

I only preorder for free crap. Hooray for Pokemon Collosseum Bonus Disk!
