GameStop is part of yet a few more Pokemon deals.

Pokemon trainers can pre-order a copy of Pokemon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire from GameStop and get a special pre-order poster. Trainers have to pre-order their game before November 21, 2014, the slated release date for Pokemon Omega and Ruby Sapphire.

Also, Nintendo will be distributing level 50 Heracross and Pinsir via the internet into trainers’ 3DS systems on August 13, 2014.

Here is how to receive the Pokemon:

1) Connect Nintendo 3DS to the internet.

2) Select MYSTERY GIFT on the main menu.

3) Select RECEIVE GIFT, then YES.

4) Select GET VIA INTERNET, and hit YES.

5) Receive either Heracross or Pinsir.

6) Speak to the delivery girl in any Pokemon Center to add the Pokemon to a party.

7) Save game.

Trainers with Pokemon X will receive Heracross, while Pokemon Y players will receive Pinsir.

Heracross is a Bug/Fighting Pokemon that has either the Ability Swarm or Guts. Its Nature is Adamant, and has the moves Bullet Seed, Pin Missile, Close Combat, and Megahorn.

Pinsir is a Bug Pokemon, and has either the Ability Hyper Cutter or Mold Breaker. Its Nature is also Adamant, and has the moves X-Scissor, Earthquake, Stone Edge, and Return.

On August 18 and August 31, participating GameStop stores will put up flyers with game codes to allow trainers to get Mega Stones for Pinsir and Heracross. While holding these stones in battle, Heracross will evolve into Heracronite and Pinsir into Pinsirite respectively.
