It's too bad that not everyone can get the same preorder bonuses for ORAS. Some stores are offering a double sided poster, some are giving plushes. Then I also heard that somewhere in Europe they get a steelbook and a keychain. Hey, don't get me wrong - I'm happy that people are getting bonuses for getting the games, since it brings more people to more product. It's just kinda too bad that everyone couldn't take advantage of getting these bonuses at the same time. Maybe it has something with shipping problems from one country to another or increased costs to ship internationally and getting it all there on time, but I suppose if people got things done early enough anything is possible.
Then again, nothing has ever been entirely fair and equitable in pokemon. Take for example distribution of event pokemon. Japan has many more opportunities to get event pokemon than here (like that cool shiny Gengar with the mega stone and the move that can't normally be learned by it - who knows, I suppose there's a possibility we may be able to get it much later), and the Japanese card game players have had huge promo distributions of cards where we only get a select few. So I guess this shouldn't surprise me. It's unfortunate though.
