Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire will launch for the 3DS on November 21st for $39.99 each.  However, if you're looking to pick up both games (say you have two kids and they each want a copy), there's a bonus to be had.  The Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Dual Pack, exclusive to Best Buy, BestBuy.com, and Amazon.com for $79.98, will include a download code that can be redeemed for 100 Potions in-game for each game.

Now you might be thinking "100 potions?  That's it?", and at first I thought the same thing.  However, this does have two uses.  First, new comers to the Pokemon games, especially those at a very young age, might have difficulty when first starting out their adventures in the Hoenn region.  Those 100 potions will prove useful when encountering the tougher trainers and gym leaders they'll face along the way and will help to not discourage them as they continue to improve their skills.

For the rest of us...just sell them at the PokeMart for some quick cash.
