Pokemon Scarlet & Violet preorder bonuses

When Pokemon Legends Arceus was released in January 2022, Game Freak offered players a handful of preorder bonuses, from a rare holographic Pokemon card to adorable plushies and even a statue of Arceus.

Seeing as Pokemon Scarlet & Violet is the ninth generation of the franchise, we expect the release will be similar and with a flood of collectibles and goodies to hunt down. Make sure to check back on our hub as we will be updating stores, bonuses, and prices the second more information comes to light.

Will Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have a Collectors Edition?

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet could have epic pre-order bonuses like Legends Arceus.

While many major game releases have a Collector’s Edition, The Pokemon Company has a history of avoiding these kinds of products, instead opting for pre-order bonuses and a double pack. There’s no word of a double pack for Scarlet and Violet yet, but we’ll update this if there is.

As mentioned earlier, your best bet is to look around for the various pre-order bonuses that retailers will undoubtedly be offering. For example, Legends Arceus had an edition with a steelbook and replica Hisuian Poke Ball in the UK, while Japan got an exclusive Pokemon card.
