Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire are already off to an incredibly strong start in Japan. And no, the two games haven’t even been released yet.

Media Create reports this week that pre-orders for Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire have reached 239,000 units (including Double Packs). That number was reached in just two days, believe it or not.

While Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire aren’t entirely new games, in terms of pre-orders, they’re performing about as well as Pokemon X/Y did nine weeks before release.

Update (9/23): Best Buy has corrected its price and is no longer taking pre-orders. However, strangely enough, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is available on Amazon for $29.99.

Best Buy appears to have made a price error with its Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate listing. It should cost $39.99 when it comes out next year, but the retailer has the game available for only $29.99. You can place an order here and save $10 while the mistake remains in place.

A few weeks ago, we posted about a special Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire pre-order offer from Toys “R” Us. Further details have since come to light.

It turns out that consumers who reserve both games can actually choose between two Charizard plushies: Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y. The Mega Charizard X plush measures 10.5 inches in height whereas the Mega Charizard Y stands at 8 inches. Each one is valued at $22.99 as previously mentioned.
