Nintendo Details Pokémon Preorder Bonus

Last week we confirmed that Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver will be shipping with a Pokéwalker accessory when the game launches at retail in March. It appears that another item is being thrown into the pot as incentive to pick up the title. Fans who preorder either version by February 1 will snag a Legendary Pokémon figure  by Kaiyodo. Those who opt for HeartGold will receive a figure of Ho-Oh, and the bonus for SoulSilver will be one of Lugia – both cover models for their respective versions of the game.

“These unique figures are our way of thanking Pokémon fans of all ages for the enthusiasm and support they have shown for the series,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions include new features and enhancements that players will instantly appreciate, and we think these terrific figures will help to get fans even more excited about what is in store for them on March 14.”

The premium bonuses will be available while supplies last, so we don’t recommend waiting weeks to pick up your prize once it hits retail.

Who doesn’t love a preorder bonus? Any of you plan on taking advantage of this offer?
