I went to Gamestop today and the employee told me that X/Y's preorder bonus will be "special" pokemon loaded onto the cart.

Anyone know anything about this?

Since I doubt they'd give you acces to legendaries right away, I thought maybe it would be version exclusive pokemon from the other version, or maybe pokemon from a previous gen. What do you think /vp/?

Gamestop's preorders usually include a "special Pokemon" ie, the regular download that you can do in your house or for free. They pulled that shit with Victini, Keldeo and Genesect.

TRU by far has had the best things consistently; an HGSS release party plus figures and Lugia/Ho-oh stylus set plus t-shir, Wall clings and stylus set for BW, Coins for BW2 and I would assume they'll have some sort of stylus set for XY as well. (Power A put out the stock image before E3 on their tinypic account)

Target is would also be a good 50/50 bet. They had a Art Book for BW and Dialga/Palkia styluses for DP. In the least you'll get a $5 giftcard there.

Walmart doesn't appear to have anything, although they just recently decided to get back in the preorder game so who knows.

When you preorder, make sure they promise you the "preorder bonus" in writing, if you can. I suppose it wouldn't be much to stand on legally, but at least you can, in the end, prove that they're a whole lot of lying, cheating bastards and if they do have access to whatever jewels they promised you, maybe they'll give it to you after all.

Yeah, you were definitely getting lied to. GameStop employees would tell you any bullshit to get you to pre-order, especially because they essentially force a quota of pre-orders onto employees. I once had one trying to convince me to pre-order a Wii by swearing to me that it would be compatible with N64 games and controllers (I didn't fall for it, but I'm sorry for anybody he told that to who did).

My local GameStop is pretty bro tier. I went in the other day to buy white 2 and the cashier didn't even ask if I wanted to pre order X and Y, he just asked if I was gonna buy them. We then got into a discussion about Fairy type and starter evo type predictions. Didn't force pre order at all, but I still pre ordered cause the guy was a bro

Pretty much this. I get asked if I want to preorder, and I always say that I'll wait, or that I don't want to today and they never press the issue. They normally strike up a conversation about whatever I'm buying. And anytime I preorder I never get shorted anything. So, the whole getting the preorder bonus promise in writing sounds ridiculous.
