UK Pokemon fans rejoice, a demo for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will be heading your way from October 15th. Demo codes for the game will be distributed from select retailers, either online or through various Nintendo Zones. At present retailers involved in this promo include GAME, Amazon, Smyth Toys Superstores, ShopTo and the Nintendo UK Official store. It’s worth noting that the demo content is a self-contained experience and will have content that is completely separate from the main game, like the ability to Mega Evolve a Pokemon and transfer it over to the main game when it drops shortly after.

Dutch fans will also get a chance to get their hands on the demo during the autumn tour on October 11th and 12th, so it looks like the promotion won’t end there!
