Seeing as the SteelBook versions are only available in the UK, people are going to feel left out by this.

But that happens with events all the time.

Not true Nintendo EU has them it’s Europe wide. I’m sure they’ll release the codes via internet or something for the other regions.

 

[Blockhead Pippi]

Okay, well. Europe then.

That's still going to leave everyone else outside of the EU feeling left out. That was my point.

I can’t see the not releasing the pokémon in other regions. With Sun and Moon USA had a GameStop event I think Japan and EU received the Pokemon via Mystery gift.

So, we will pay for trading PKMN over the internet and the option is to buy a double pack so that we can access the exclusives!? They couldn't just do a thing like BW and enter another world to find the species!? No post-game hordes/breakouts/swarms to find!?

The SteelBook is the only EU exclusive

I know the steelbook is EU only but the last time America had an exclusive code Japan and the EU got it free via the mystery gift a month later. Do not despair yet my friends.

I don’t think they’ll make you pay.

Honestly, I’ve always bought double games in part because I don’t have friends to trade with. ;_;

As a side note, I’m certainly considering getting this SteelBox. Getting the opposite Pokémon without needing to rely on Wonder Trades sounds really neat, and I wanted to get both games regardless, so…

Just completed my preorder. I was planning on preordering a double pack anyway as I like to have both copies of the brand new generation Day 1, and the Steelbook looks pretty cool. Now this preorder raid bonus just gives me more incentive to get this preorder done.

I’m glad it helped I didn’t mean to rub salt in it for non-EU members this is what I wanted.

I’ve got two double pack copies ordered one for myself and husband and one for the girls. I did used to trade my sister or myself before I met my husband though no shame in it!

It's cool, I'm sure everyone else just doesn't get a steelbook with theirs-

Oof, I didn't even realize it was only Europe who got it, it seems. Thats fine though, I am getting both games anyway so why not get the double pack.

Is there a possibility for a friend or a mate to fetch one for you as they go up north? Sorry to hear it, friend.

Nice! I guess I should look into getting a Switch, so I'll bank on pre-ordering the next game after SwSh! Cheers!

I like the glare/gradient effect on the back cover. Fits it very nicely. I thought the Gold one for the double pack would feature Eternatus or whatever trio master there is, but I suppose not!

I’m moving to the UK. All America gets are Dynamax Larvitar and jangle codes. You can also get a keychain wth your pre-order if you order off of pokecenter. A plush keychain of one of the starters. Nothing super collector edition.
