Pokemon Scarlet and Violet pre-orders are still live, with plenty of in-game rewards and merch up for grabs for those getting their orders in early. Retailers are offering their own individual incentives on top of the special Pikachu up for grabs for anyone who buys before February 28. We're seeing listings live all over the place right now, so if you're looking to get your name down for either title (or both, with the Double Pack option) before that November 18 release date, we've got you covered. 

From extra berries to in-game healing packs, you'll find plenty of digital bonuses on US shelves. We've scoured the web on our own Pokemon Scarlet and Violet pre-order hunt, and we'd recommend heading to Amazon first. With speedy release day delivery and an ever so slight reduction on that $59.99 MSRP (down to $59.88 - win). 

If you're in the UK, there's a lot more to consider. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet pre-orders across the pond are being widely discounted, and include a range of free gifts as well. You'll find plenty of options below, but the headline here is that Currys is your best bet. You can use promo code STARTER20 here for a £10 discount on the £49.99 RRP - bringing you pre-order all the way down to £39.99.

You'll find all the latest Nintendo Switch deals on this upcoming pre-order just below.

What is the Pokemon Scarlet / Violet release date?

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will release on November 18 across the US and UK. 

Is there a Pokemon Scarlet / Violet demo?

There's currently no Pokemon Scarlet and Violet demo available on the Nintendo eShop, but if one does appear we'll make sure you know about it! 

What do we know about Pokemon Scarlet / Violet?

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will take players into an open world Paldea region. The RPG tale will unfold in whichever order you choose, though a route has been set to take you to the top of the Pokemon trainer roster. We know that Scarlet and Violet will feature new Pokemon such as Quaxly, Fuecoco, and Sprigatito as well as a range of new characters and professors. 

We're also rounding up the latest cheap Nintendo Switch games and showing you where to pre-order Splatoon 3. If you're after a whole new console, we're rounding up all the retailers offering the chance to buy the Splatoon 3 Nintendo Switch OLED as well.
