Pre-order bonus: Difference between revisions

This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Pokémon Rumble U Black and White Kyurem figures, X & Y Target Pins, GameStop poster, etc.

A pre-order bonus is a special gift given to customers who reserve a copy of a game or movie ticket prior to its official release date. This may require an extra deposit. In addition to receiving the game, there are often other bonuses that come along with pre-ordering a game.

Pokémon Colosseum

Those who pre-ordered Pokémon Colosseum also received a Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc.

In the Japanese version, the disc contains a Celebi and can only be acquired once all of the 48 Shadow Pokémon have been purified. After it has been transferred to the Colosseum save file, it can be transferred up to 48 times directly to all Japanese Game Boy Advance Pokémon games as long as the player has beaten the Elite Four and saved in a Pokémon Center. There is also a Pikachu that can be transferred after obtaining a certain number of Poké Coupons and the game being transferred to has a silver Trainer Card.

In the American versions it included the Japanese trailer for the aforesaid game, a trailer for Jirachi: Wish Maker and a Jirachi that can be transferred to Ruby and Sapphire. Unlike the Japanese Celebi, this Jirachi doesn't have a limit on the number of times it can be transferred, though it cannot be transferred to a save file more than once. Transferring the Jirachi will fix the Berry glitch.
