pokemon

A special demo version of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire has been made available for free, prior to its release. The demo features a few exclusive scenarios set in the Hoenn region of the game, which will include Pokemon mega evolving and more. A demo code is required for you to play the demo and Nintendo has revealed the numerous ways in which this code can be obtained:

  • Codes will be distributed at select cinema locations nationwide from Nov. 7–Nov. 13 (while supplies last).
  • Check with your local retailer during the holidays to find out about special demo code giveaways (while supplies last).
  • Get a code with your purchase of the new Pokémon Art Academy game (out Oct. 24) when you buy from Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo 3DS or 2DS system.
  • You’ll also get a code with your purchase of one of two classic Pokémon games coming to the Virtual Console service on Nintendo eShop: the Pokémon Puzzle Challenge game (out Nov. 6) or the Pokémon Trading Card Game (out Nov. 13). You’ll find your free demo code on your eShop receipt (download codes available while supplies last).
  • Codes will be emailed the week of Oct. 31 to select Nintendo customers with Nintendo Network IDs who have signed up to receive promotional emails from Nintendo.
  • Codes will also be distributed during the holiday mall tour from Nov. 24?Dec. 21 at 16 different locations throughout the nation. Talk to a staff member to try out Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire or any of the featured Nintendo 3DS games to receive two codes—one for you, and one for a friend (while supplies last). Check back soon for a list of tour locations.

Apart from the above, a previously mentioned method, which involved signing up for a Pokemon Trainer Club account, can also get you the code. Also, items that you earn while playing the demo can be carried over into the main game, which allows you a small advantageous head start.

Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire will be available exclusively for Nintendo 2DS and 3DS on November 21st. Check out the latest gameplay trailer here.
