I got an email from GS about this today. There is no info on the website about it yet, and I called my store and they have heard nothing about it. This is what the email said:
In any case, this seems to be the only pre-order bonus any retailer is offering on these, so GS is the likely best place to reserve these.
EDIT: Seems a pre-order may not be required:

EDIT 2: I have now had three GS stores confirm NO PREORDER IS REQUIRED for this offer. Creative and somewhat deceiving ad wording, but no preorder required.
The info from the email says that it is valid from 8/19 to 9/16, and needs to be downloaded in the store to a copy of Black or White (not Black 2 or White 2). So I'm not quite sure how this will work for online preorders. As of now, the "more info" button in the email links to GS's page on the games, which has no info on this or any other pre-order bonus. I also wonder how this can be limited to pre-order customers if it's an in-store download. Perhaps they will give you a code you'll need to enter on the DS/3DS? Or maybe the clerk will only turn on the download station when a preorder is being picked up? But I'm not sure how that will work for online customers.†Pokemon Black or White Version 2 Pre-Order Offer: Valid 8/19/12 through 10/6/12. New Kaldeo character available to download in stores. Bring in your DS to download.

A Nintendo DS family system or Nintendo 3DS family system and a copy of the Pokémon Black Version or White Version game (each sold separately) are required to receive content distribution.
