If someone gets a spare, I'd love to have one.

 

[Jeff Vader]

Got a feeling NoA will send codes for Club Nintendo Platinum owners who registered either X or Y.

That'd be such shit and yet I totally believe that's gonna be the case.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Just charge me pokemiles for the demo code. I've got probably 250 streetpasses for pokemon and wonder traded a ton. I'd even sit through shitty browser games to get it.

 

[Gartooth]

Wait is there a mega evolution that only demo users can play with? Come on NOA!

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

lol what NoA doing?

 

[JoeM86]

I very much doubt the Mega Evolution is exclusive to the demo.

 

[MaximumSpider]

To the guys who have the codes....
Are the trumpets in?

Codes aren't redeemable until October 15th

 

[MaximumSpider]

Codes aren't redeemable until October 15th

Crap!
I'll be back...

Germany
McDonalds Nintendo Zone - From October 15th 2014

Ugh. I hate McD so much.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

So, should I pointlessly place a pre-order on Amazon UK just is case that is how you get it...

Now, I don't think we know whether the codes are region-locked, do we?

They will be region locked as Nintendo download codes can't be region free (US and Japanese games have different title IDs and given how Oceania and Europe are separate regions here suggests the codes use a different cypher in each region). I take it you meant country locked and there really isn't a country lock more a case of trying to redeem something that doesn't exist on your eShop...it would be odd if the demo was not multi5.

I can't say I've ever tried to connect to the actual Nintendo Zone through spoofing though, I've only done it to grab Animal Crossing items in-game. I wonder if it would have even worked in the first place.

Nintendo Zone viewer needs an unsecrued wireless access point to work so it is a matter of knowing the SSID and setting your router like that. German McDonalds (NZ@McD1) works for me...hope I didn't Jynx it. Well my Chansey are going to be pretty low if mass spoofing goes on in any case...

 

[Gartooth]

Gotcha. When it said you can transfer the mega stone I assumed the worst.

 

[DedValve]

I hope its not stupidly hard to get in NOA but being NOA I have every expectation it will be.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

If I don't get one, please spare me a code!

 

[Drago]

If anyone has a Japanese demo code to share, I'd gladly take it! Any demo is better than no demo, hehe

Still waiting on NoA to disclose info D:

 

[Vanille]

This is such bullshit. Just put the fucking demo on the eshop for everyone to download.

 

[nibblemonkey]

Has anyone heard anything about how the emails in the UK are being decided as I doubt they're sending one to literally everyone in their databases.

 

[Akai__]

If anybody gets an extra EU code, I'll gladly take it. I don't have a Mc Donalds near me and I won't go there just for something, that could be on the eShop.

This obsession Nintendo has with making us do inane things to try out a demo version of a game is infuriating. Just put it up on the eShop you indolent dinosaurs.

It's like we aren't in 2014 anymore...

 

[Merovin]

I hope I get codes, god damn Nintendo they better come out to every pre-order in the UK.

 

[Christopher]

Got the smash code if I get this one I'll hook you guys up again/

 

[Ezalc]

Pokemon Game Company has something against the American continent :C

 

[MicH]

I signed up for a code on the Danish Nintendo site. Hopefully I get it on the 16th I still can't believe we even got the ability to sign up for something like this! We never get the good stuff

 

[ArchedThunder]

I'm probably going to need a code
(America)

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I really need to get this for the US to see if they fixed the shitty framerate.

 

[Sadist]

Yay, getting one

 

[Hedge]

Ah well, if anyone has a EU code to spare, I'd be happy if I could give it to my sister.

 

[tim_pkmn89]

Because they want to target people who may not know there's a new Pokemon game coming out.

 

[ShikabaneHime13]

Would like to request a Japanese CoroCoro code if possible!!!

 

[Hidden One]

If anyone has a free code PM pls...._.

 

[GasProblem]

Got an E U code yesterday, along with a Shiny Gengar code, got both at FirstLook. Looking forward to the 15th.

 

[ugoo18]

Not sure i understand this demo, is it like with SSB3DS' Club Nintendo demo where platinum members receive multiple codes or something else entirely?

 

[ArchedThunder]

As far as the American release, we have no idea what the hell they're doing.

 

[JoeM86]

For the US? We're not sure yet.

Everywhere else gives you one code as far as we know. In-store or in events, you get it on a card like in the first post

 

[nibblemonkey]

Something different and works differently in each region although it appears each person only gets one code. There are also no confirmation for a US release yet but I expect that'll change at some point.

 

[dakkumauji]

Because they want to target people who may not know there's a new Pokemon game coming out.

I don't think making codes as convoluted and as difficult to get would make anyone other than the hardcore fans know about a new Pokemon game is coming out that they would already know about.

Unless their goal is to get an article about here's all the steps you need to get the demo for the new Pokemon game and if you are already reading it, it's too late for you!

 

[Hatchtag]

Would absolutely love a JP code. Not sure what I would have to offer for it, if anything, though.

 

[Macka]

I'd like to put my hand up for a spare NA code if somebody gets one.

I have a US 3DS but live in Australia, so it's the only way I'm getting the demo.

 

[Kouriozan]

France only has Paris Games Week and only at the end of this month :x
Maybe I'll get it with my daily Homepass session :lol

 

[Xcell Miguel]

Hi,

I'd love to have an EU code, can't wait to try this one, was my best of the "old gen" Pokémon games

 

[jph139]

Honestly I think their "jump through hoops for a demo" thing is pretty ingenious. I remember that Twitter was full of people begging for Smash Demo codes, lots of chatter about it. A combination of "free stuff!" and "exclusive stuff!" tends to keep people talking.

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

Got my code at an event yesterday so I'm set for the 15th.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

So does NA get a code?
Because I would like one.

 

[Hatchtag]

Any reason to think NA codes will be distributed with the upcoming Gengar and Dianfie events? Feels like a good opportunity for them.

 

[nibblemonkey]

No one knows yet, have to hope that NoA says something soon

 

[Seven Force]

Well, if somehow any JP codes end up for grabs, I wouldn't mind one sent my way.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Yeah, i think its gonna get released around the same time.

Nobody's saying it doesn't work for Nintendo, they're saying it's incredibly annoying on the consumer end.

 

[Aveyn Knight]

I'm way too hyped for the demo.

Only problem is I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be getting it (I've read the instructions), but eh, I've got time in the morning to stalk GAME.

Oh and Shiny Mega Gengar is being distributed too? Gotta get my Gengar codes too...

 

[Andrefpvs]

I can see the demo being available in the U.S. only on the 22nd, as some sort of bizarre compensation for the 1-week-late European launch for ORAS.

 

[ShikabaneHime13]

I highly doubt it given the purpose of the demo is to play everyday since it unlimited to get stuff to transfer to the full games. To release the demo after would be pointless. But then NoA has made pretty dumb decisions before.....
