Pokemon Legends Z-A pre-orders have been steadily in stock in both the US and UK since they went live, but I'm more interested in those elusive bonus gifts.
The best Switch games always have great pre-order bonuses, and the upcoming Pokemon game is no different. Retailers like Nintendo have an adorable figurine of the game's starters available with its pre-orders, while US retailers have everything from exclusive pins to a 'gamer mat' featuring a map of Lumiose City - it's what convinced me to pre-order as soon as I could.
- US: Pre-order Pokemon Legends Z-A + Gamer Mat | $69.99 at Best Buy
- UK: Pre-order Pokemon Legends Z-A + Figurine | £58.99 at Nintendo
Pokemon Legends Z-A will launch on October 16, so there's still time to pick your favorite pre-order bonus and shop accordingly, whether you're after an original Switch or Switch 2 copy.
Don't forget, Pokemon Legends Z-A Switch 2 bundle pre-orders are also still in stock if you haven't yet made the next-generational Switch 2 leap, and come with a digital copy of the game that's redeemable via the eShop online store.
