Earlier today I swallowed my shame and decided to head to my local GAME store to pick up a code for this thing. Unfortunately every member of staff working at the time insisted that I had to pre-order ORAS in order to get the code. The manager agreed, and totally disregarded the proof I pulled up on my phone's browser. I asserted myself at first before realising it was better to quit while the manager still looked like the more petulant manchild but...fuck. Looks like GAME is officially the britbong Gamestop now.

Why not just preorder ORAS if you're getting it anyway? Also this isn't a normal Gamestop thing, just if the manager is a glorified asshole. That's just more common than not.

Just report them to Nintendo UK.

I really fucking wish Nintendo would just do all distributions via wifi and maybe some nice exclusives only available at pokemon centers (but for longer periods of time). Having to go through Gamestop is obnoxious, everything about that store is terrible and I stopped going there the minute that digital downloads became practical.

Also, in many cases, stores like GameStop will host these distributions because they paid for them, which is probably why they are trying to trick kids into preordering games to get the codes.

But this time, specific details are better because the issue isn't that they are rude, they are literally breaking the rules. The poster for this event (at least in eagleland) clearly states "no purchase necessary", which means they can not require a preorder.

I work at GAMESTOP and these stories sound terrible and I'm sorry for the anons that have to deal with their shit. My advice, tell them you'd like to speak with their district manager. They'll usually tell you you can't. Call corporate and they will have their district manager get in touch with you and that store will be in deep shit. We got emails specifically telling employees it's a FREE GIFT and nothing more.

>>21322720 Send an email to their customer service. Find it on their website. Tell them which store it was exactly.
They will give you loads of free shit (vouchers) for your trouble, trust me.

>>21324703 Now that's your job to ask for a raise, stand up for yourself instead of jewing the customers out of a free product.

Okay I'm getting some friends together and we're going to go gamestop code hunting this weekend. Right now there are 5 of us and we're looking to hit up 6 or 7 gamestops in the area. So late saturday or early sunday, look for a thread for codes.

I went to GAME this morning. Stuttered something bluntly about Gengar to the girl beyond the checkouts and she asked if I had my DS. I had brought it but she didnt seem sure how it worked. She disappeared into the back for about 20 seconds and reappeared with a piece of paper, obviously instructions for the staff from Nintendo. She suggested it was easier to print out the code, she gave me the reciept containing the code and I said thank you. She said no worries and I left with a spring in my step. As I was leaving I remembered I was gonna ask about the demo but I felt embarrassed and continued walking out the store.
