Nintendo has finally revealed how fans can enjoy the "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" demo before its Nov. 21 release date. This can be done via the Special Demo Version, and the developer has revealed ways to obtain them.

The official Nintendo website states that the demo will let players see some exclusive scenarios in the remade Hoenn region. Here players can also encounter Pokemons that can Mega-Evolve, and once they are obtained, the special demo will be an extension of the full game. This allows players to bring the captured Mega-Evolved Pokemon to the full version of "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire."

There are six listed ways that players can get the demo codes. The list here is based on the information Nintendo has released:

- Oct. 24: Players can get a code can when they purchase the new "Pokemon Art Academy." The title should be bought via the Nintendo eShop.

- Oct. 31: Codes will be emailed to select Nintendo customers with Nintendo Network IDs. The customers should have signed up for promo emails from Nintendo.

- Nov. 7 to Nov. 13: Codes are obtainable at select cinema locations nationwide. These can be obtained as part of the eShop receipt when purchasing any one of the following games: Pokemon Puzzle Challenge game (out Nov. 6) or Pokemon Trading Card Game (released Nov. 13).

- Nov. 24 to Dec. 21: Codes will be distributed in a mall tour at 16 locations, where players can get up to two codes. Nintendo said that customers just need to talk to a staff member to sample the "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire" or any of the featured Nintendo 3DS games for the codes. The company has yet to announce the included locations.

- Throughout the holidays, local retailers will be carrying special demo code giveaways. Players will need to check with the retailer, though.

In relation to the "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire," there is also a spotted campaign in Japan called Pokemon Scrap. According to Serebii, trusted source for Pokemon-related news, this is a redeemable site that will officially begin on Nov. 1.

The report states that players can collect clippings on Nov. 1 for a whole month so that they can redeem codes related to the campaign starting Dec. 1. The codes that will be given will allow players to access items in "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire."

Some of the listed items that are up for grabs include Rare Candy, a Master Ball, Luxury Balls, Nugget and Super Potion, though it is also said that there will be three Mythical Pokemons that can be gained with the Pokemon Scrap. These mythical Pokemons are revealed to be Keldeo, Shaymin and Victini. For now, the campaign has been announced to be held in Japan until Apr. 30, 2015, as the serial codes are obtainable with the booster packs that will be released once the TCG set "Gaia Volcano and Tidal Storm" is launched.

Another Japan-only announcement involves the changeable nameplates on the Nintendo 3DS. This means that those with the new 3DS devices can easily change the faceplates with the new ones revealed for "Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire." These feature Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, as pictured over at Serebii. Those interested or are able to get it in Japan can expect the faceplates to debut on Nov. 21.
