Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Demo | Code Share | Bring on the Trumpets!

My console is US and didn't get a code from Club Nintendo since I wasn't platinum last year, and stores in Chile didn't give any code. Great...

Does anyone have a spare demo key? please?
You did read the bit in the OP saying that US players get their demo codes by signing up to the pokemon.com newsletter and since these are probably sent out after the 20th nobody has any US keys yet.

Dear Nintendo user,

Thank you for using Nintendo Zone.

We hope you are enjoying our out of home service and you will come back soon to experience new content and services that we are developing for you.

Here is your code to download the special demo of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.

Oh hell yeah.
 
Shit, I signed up as well, but still no code. How long did it take you?
You did read the part of the Nintendo Life article where they explained the following:
We will be giving away 250 download codes every hour, on the hour, between 10am and 9pm for the next 10 days - that's a total of 30,000 download codes available for our UK readers.
So it could take an hour. Could take 10 days. Could take forever (if there are too many entrants)

Oh yeah that's going on too huh. Great. :l

Ha looks like that gengar isn't even being distributed by any retail chain over here, it's through some weird nintendo tour. Other eu countries get way better distribution methods too ugh.

For those of you with preorders at shopto I asked a member of staff about the demo distribution and this is what they told me:

In the coming days we will be launching a special promotional page on our site where you will be able to claim a free Pokemon demo code.
All it will require is for you to login, visit the page and click a button to claim a code. The code will be instantly made available and you will then be able to redeem this through the Nintendo eShop right away.

So I think I'm finished with the demo. It's more of a mind numbing grind than anything else to unlock all the stuff to transfer to ORAS.

After initially completing the mission to catch Glalie, Stephen gives you all 3 fully evolved starters with their respective Mega stones attached and you basically do random missions that Stephen gives you and the game ends. You repeat the process up to 10 times to get all the rewards.

The missions consist of:

Finding a particular Pokemon in shaking grass.
Beating all the trainers on the island.
Finding a lost child.

At the 5th and 10th replay, the mission changes to beating a single trainer who has stronger Pokemon than you.

The rewards consist of:

Glalie (with Glalite attached)
Poke Balls
Heal Balls
5 Heart Scales

After the 10th replay, Stephen says "I've lost count how many times we've encountered each other" (or something along those lines) which indicates you can no longer get any rewards as far as I can see. I attempted to do a few more replays after getting these messages but nothing substantial happened in Mossdeep City or in the Missions.

Just got the demo today (Aussie here), but I'll attempt to try a few more replays tomorrow.

I doubt it though. We'll see.

Alright, add me in the people who want an EU code.
When it was Nintendo giving codes by emails I got lucky and gave the extra codes but now it's near impossible for me to get one before November 4th.

EDIT : Got one.

Posting again, in case it was missed, but if anyone in Japan can get their hands on a code, I'm willing to trade two 500 yen eShop codes for it.
 
Curious. Trying SSID spoofing it seems some of the NintendoSpotPassX (where is X is an integer*) SSIDs do detect the Nintendo zone (including X=5, which worked for Charizard) but do not make an attempt to connect to the Internet (not sure why that is). As a result they will not work. Wonder if it looks for a MAC Address too or is doing some trickery like really connecting to a second access point that has a silent SSID.

*-It seems the utterly useless X=1 and X=2 work but no Pokemon info (in fact the viewer here is hilariously out of date as in last updated 1.5 years ago).

The Amazon UK page has been updated with the following bit of text:
Pre-order Pokémon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and receive access to the Special Demo Version of the game. Here's how (terms and conditions apply)
The terms and conditions it says are generic. Worth noting one-click orders are excluded.

Rumor is as follows: everyone who pre-ordered before the 13th will get codes today. Everyone else will get codes up to 48 hours after placing pre-order while stocks last. I pre-ordered on the 14th so I guess that puts me in the latter bracket.

I got a spare EU code so it's embedded in this post - quote to see.

Let us know who gets it.

Edit: Removed code as it's now gone.

 
The operations guide contains some interesting bits of info.

You can only send things to the full version once a day and Pokemon Link is a special option in the title menu of the full version (appears below online competition).

Apparently the save can't be deleted by the Up+X+B wipe works if the save is corrupted.

Do we know when the Nintendo UK store will be sending out codes? I hope this isn't going to be like my Ganondorf DLC where I need to contact customer services to get the e-mail.

Any spare EU code around? I have a BK and KFC near me, but no Mc Donalds...never missed one, then Nintendo is being Nintendo and suddenly I actually consider driving like 2 hours for a freekin Democode, what a time to be alive.

Did anyone get their code from Amazon UK? I haven't gotten mine yet and I have both Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire pre-ordered.
 
Mega Sceptile looking fine :D do we know what colours the shiny mega starters will be or are we gonna have to wait until the game comes out?

Uh yeah I could probably use a EU code too, that Nintendo Life raffle is gonna take ages. D:

I-if anyone has a spare EU Gengar code by all means share em too, not having any luck snagging one of those either

I'm curious, does this demo let you trade/import the starters you've acquired in it to the main game when it comes out?
