Pre ordering is fine early access is a cancer.

It's the same reasoning that CoD fans use to pre-order the newest installment as soon as it's announced.

I like to wait. In the slim chance this is a 5/10 game, I'll pass on it. Though, just being in Hoenn makes it an 8/10 at the very least, in my opinion.

>>19506328
Look at Watch_Dogs and all those pre-orders then report back. You should always know what you're buying, and you won't know until the full game is out and people have played it.

There's literally no point of pre-ordering this early except to show off how much you suck Game Freak's dick. We know little to nothing about the game nor which stores offer what pre-order bonuses. So no, I have not pre-ordered.

Well for me it's a pretty big deal because I live in a smaller town. Games like new Pokemon games will sell out at literally every store in town and they only tend to restock once a week. If you don't preorder there's a big chance you won't be able to get it, at least where I live.

Not really any point unless there's some bonus. My friends got a Pokeball game holder when they preordered some game but it doesn't look like ORAS will have such a thing.

I got XY before my preorder friends anyway. I badgered my mum to take me down to the supermarket soon as it opened. It was a pretty cool feeling wandering around the empty store clutching my precious pogeymons.

It's perfectly fine to pre-order pokemon games, you know exactly what you're getting. Even at that it's a fucking REMAKE.
IMO there is no reason to pre-order and there is no reason to not pre-order. Either way you fags will buy the games.

Not yet.

All the people going "blurgh no reason to preorder" or "no preorder bonuses yet" do know that preordering means that they know how many to have in stock so there's absolutely no chance of running out on release day, right?
