Promotion for the new Pokémon games, out in March in America have begun. Updated with pics! Updated with T-shirt!

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Updated! 13/2!

As if you needed any more of an incentive to buy these wondeful games, whilst stocks last, you will get a free t-shirt if you order from the Pokémon Center New York, or Pokémon Center online.

Apparently, "while stocks last", in America, people in American who pre-order by Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire will be a free "limited edition holographic collectors coin". Those Americans rushing to the shops will cause an earthquake!

The official statement also claims that RS is the "starting point for a whole new Pokemon world in regard to the trading card game, merchandise, the animated TV series and theatrical releases." Theatrical releases.

We'll keep you posted on any European or UK promotions similar to this.

British fans:
Buy Pokémon Ruby
Buy Pokémon Sapphire

As a final note, the picture isn't working on any American stereotypes, it derrived when Pokedude suggested something for a preorders picture that is rather lewd.
