For those of you planning to pre-order Pokémon Black and/or White from Japan, you will receive a pre-order bonus*. They are keychains which display the mascot of the version you got (Resiram or Zekrom) and when the button is pushed it will play said Pokémon's cry. If you pre-order both versions you will get a PokéBall screen cleaner. Since the US and other parts of the world have previously received the same bonuses as Japan, expect to see these as well (though I would prefer figurines like HGSS had).

*Getting the keychains with the game's pre-order will vary based on where you order it from.

So they changed from figures. I find figures cooler.

I agree with Spirit - figurines are cooler, in my opinion.

Darn keychains, they couldn't figurines.

Personally, I find all of the extra stuff to be annoying. I don't think I'd ever really use it. It only takes up space. The screen cleaner might be useful, but I find the cloth I use to clean my glasses does the job just fine.

Zekrom's keychain is better than Reshiram's.

If I get the keychain, I'm gonna make Zekromm cry out in the middle of class. Fun, eh?
I still think figurines are more awesome though.

I don't like the color scheme on Reshiram's keychain. Those shades of red and blue look hideous together.

The fact that Reshiram's keychain sucks only makes me want to buy White more.

I think we all were.

Ah well, the Zekrom one and the Monster Ball Screen Cleaner still look nice. As for the Reshiram one, I hope it only looks bad in the image because it's not displayed with the proper colors. Remember that ink looks different than pixels on a monitor.

Well it is what it is. I say it's better than nothing. And since I'll be getting both as always, I get a screen cleaner. Yay..?

I pre-ordered, and paid for, my American version.

I expect something better than what I got with my SS version... Even Wal-Mart had the better version, with the little figurine... I rage'd.

Given that I`ll be getting my driver`s license within the next two years, this is a surprisingly convenient promotional item. Figurines would`ve been cool, but I suppose the fact that these keychains can emit the cries of the Pokemon is pretty awesome too. I`d go for Zekrom`s, just because I like it better in general, but I`ll be getting both games anyway.

I guess I can use the cloth cleaner as a door knob. Lul. Maybe I might preorder together with a friend. (Also if you preorder reach, you get 20$ off a future preorder. Which means cheap black/white )

I've pre-ordered it from Play-Asia... Will I still get this? I didn't know at the time that you'd get a keychain, so I've gone for Black... Reshiram FTL.
