what do you ladies and gents think of the possibility of stuff like a pre order bonus or launch even pokemon t( like genesect for versions 2) or something like limited edition console bundle or even some thing else at launch for a promotion of these games?
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

I am sure there will be preorder stuff. I work at GameStop so if they announce one ill be sure to let ya'll know! :)
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

I think its possible to get an event Pokemon with release over wi-fi. They released a Pokemon on both BW and BW2's release date(Liberty pass to get Victini for BW and Genesect for BW2) it might help sell more games. I wouldnt also rule out pre-order bonuses like figures.
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

I think a system bundle is pretty much a lock in. They're releasing a fire emblem bundle and that's a game series with more of a cult following.
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

It isn't an XL, it looks so great though.

I hope the Pokémon bundle is an XL, if they do make one. I also hope the Animal Crossing 3DS XL actually comes this way, I love the way it looks. :)
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

I really hope they release it in a Pokémon X/Y plus limited ed. 3DS or something. It's a treat for those who are buying a 3DS solely for the Gen VI games, and bait for those who are considering buying another.

Anyway, there will definitely be promotions and giveaways and launch events. After all, they're important parts of Selling A Product and Advertising.
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

I honestly don't give a thing about pre-order bonuses cause they never happen here anyway.

If Japan get pre-order figures of Xerneas and Yveltal though, I'll definitely import them, just as I did with the entire Creation quartet.
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

Probably some Wi-Fi distribution event for BW2 that unlocks something in X/Y, that's the most predictable thing they could do anymore, considering the franchises growing fascination with Wi-Fi distribution events over anything else.
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

B2W2 didn't have any pre-order bonus, at least not in the US IIRC. >n> I hope XY do, because I pre-ordered my XY yesterday.
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

I hope they have some sort of launch package with a 3ds XL. I'm waiting to buy my 3ds until I see what they have in store.

Like the Lock Capsule in HG/SS that unlocked TM95 (Snarl) in B/W? That would be neat.
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

I hope they do have a special 3DS package for the XY launch. I'd love to have a 3DS with Yveltal on it!
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

I'm really hoping for a 3ds XL bundle like the dsi ones for bw. At the very least I'm hoping the pikachu one makes it to the US between now and October. I am expecting some sot of event in bw2 to transfer to xy like the pichu, dogs and keldeo for the past 3 games. Another off the wall shiny would be neat.
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

I could easily see them releasing a 3DS bundle pack with one of the new games, although I'm not sure if they'll use a regular system or the XL system. Having a Pokemon available through Wi-Fi like they did when they released B/W and B2/W2 is possible. I'd love it if they did go back to giving out figures for pre-order bonuses. Those figures were really cool.
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

I'm waiting for a 3DS bundle. If I'm getting a console just for Pokémon games, it had better be a console with a badass legendary on it. After getting that Pokémon Black DSi I decided not to buy regular consoles ever again. It's just so fucking pretty XD
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

Seeing how we never saw the Pikachu 3DS XL stateside, that's a possibility if Nintendo forgoes one themed after the games (which I doubt seeing as nearly every first party release is receiving the treatment). If there is an X and Y themed 3DS I can't see it being the original, Nintendo seems contempt promoting the XL over the original and I doubt this will change.
 
Re: Launch Promotions?

I've already pre-ordered my copies of both Pokemon X & Y in the UK. I got a B&W2 promotion magazine. I don't know if that's the official bonus for X & Y pre-orders but that's all I got... I was honestly, and understandably in my opinion, really disappointed with that. I would have quite liked a promo poster with the gen 6 starters or legendaries on. That would have done nicely.
