So I end up having 2 extra EU demo codes. Quote the post to get it
1 taken
2 taken
AU/NZ is it's own region too for eShop stuff.
I see, wasn't sure about that one.
Seems IGN are giving away codes, too

Of course, they got their entire description wrong lol.

What's wrong with it?
Does the US even have codes yet?
I dunno, in theory I should be getting one and I haven't yet.
Thank you! I used the first Amazon code.

Thanks a lot! I used the second Amazon code. Tried the the bottom two codes first, but it said those had already been used, though perhaps that was just because those codes were for UK residents only (which I'm not).
Thanks again!
Used the third one. Thank you so much!
Will try to get a code from the local McD's tomorrow, hopefully the servers will be up again.
Yeah, I noticed a couple of text errors too
For example. When you finish your 9th adventure, it says you get Heart Scales. You don't. You get them at 10 where it says you get another set of Heart Scales. I checked and there's only one Heart Scale set.
Japanese, German etc. have it correct where at the end of the 9th it tells you that you're 1 adventure away from Heart Scales. Worrying really
They missed a simple 'to' out of that sentence to make it grammatically correct (I added it in above) but it is worrying to see such mistakes. Overall though, loving the demo - wish there were more 'secrets' to discover but seeing Gen 3 being lovingly recreated in polygonal 3D looks great - not even going to touch my depth slider on my 3DS though, just like X & Y I'm sticking to a solid framerate by keeping that 3D Slider all the way down.
Game is looking great though, wasn't sure about the bottom screen UI design at first, but it's grown on me. Excited for the full release of ORAS shortly.

I'm looking for a US or JP code if someone would be kind enough to message me one. Thanks in advance to any kind soul who can 
Finished the demo and left with negative thoughts:
- Game is still laggy in 3D at times
- The way they use 3D looks awful anyways
- The art style has a lot to be desired
- Pokemon look awesome, as per usual
- Colours are so damned washed out
- A few translational issues
- Feels kind of samey to XY
I'm probably going to cancel my preorder and sit on this one, most of the demo was boring. GameFreak needs to work on their engine a lot more. There should be no reason the bland overworld can't use 3D.

Looks like EU codes don't work in AUS either. Quote to get an IGN UK code. Gone now.
Nope, only the actual games once they release
I took it. Thank you !

I think you are going to need to wait for next gen. Look at Pokemon White, it was an eyesore.
Really? I was struck by how saturated and vibrant they are.
3D situation is a joke of course.
I guess Smash has spoiled me. Look at Pikachu in Smash then in Pokemon, he looks very washed out in Pokemon. Smash is so damn vibrant.
Worst thing for me is:
Still no real Pokémon cries...
Only these ugly ass sound effects.
Wonder when that will change...

Sounds like the demo (or at least the translation) was a rush job.
Well, the demo was alright, I guess.
I like the sneaking animation and the game looks really pretty,
but that flying animation gets a bit boring after a few times.
Also, am I the only one who would like an option to switch to the original soundtrack?
I feel like this is gonna be the same as with the Silver/ Gold remake, where it just doesn't feel the same.
Just listen:
ORAS Mossdeep City Theme
Original Mossdeep City Theme
Sure it sounds clearer and all, but it's also kinda forgettable.

probably never, it has become a stample of the pokemon franchise to keep the same sounds from the Gen they were born
and seriously, I do not want those anime cries everywhere in pokemon, pikachu is alredy frustrating enough (I have those cries, its like a panda would say "PANDA PANDAAAA" in the wild)

I signed up yesterday for the US trainer club, how long does it take to get the email with the code?
They start giving codes after the 20th or 21st iirc.
Edit : it's October 21st.
EU get the game a week later and the demo a week earlier than US :lol
I don't think we'll ever get the anime cries. They will only really sound good for Pikachu. Can you imagine Bulbasaur saying "Bulba-bulba" once sent out? And some of them are even worse. Try to check Staryu and Starmie's cries on youtube. It would honestly sound ridiculous
I definitely agree. I don't necessarily dislike it, but I feel like something got lost in translation. If omega ruby/alpha sapphire are like heart gold/soul silver, then we'll hopefully get an item like the GB sounds that changes the audio to the original.
If you're referring to that picture someone posted on one of these threads comparing pikachu in XY to Smash, that is an unfair comparison. The XY screenshot seems to come from a heavily compressed youtube video, whereas the image from Smash Bros is an unresized, uncompressed pic of the day.
The reality of playing either game on a 3DS is that they're both very colorful. Furthermore, ORAS ≠ XY. ORAS looks a lot more vivid than XY, to my eye at least.
That said, if you're not enthused then fair enough. One less game to buy, right?
