Where To Pre-Order Pokémon Scarlet And Violet On Switch

That’s cool. But I never pre order games

Way too early to preorder. All we know is the name, some early footage and that the fire crocodile is the best starter.

Ease up there, Pokemon Company. You haven't quite earned that preorder yet...

If I had to guess, the games will most likely release November 18th. But we'll just have to wait and see.

Eh...I'll pre-order when there's a double-pack announced. Which will come anyways. Just waiting.

I'll probably be preordering these physically like most other Pokemon games (I did it for both SwSh and Legends), but I'll wait to see the big differences in Pokemon between the two before deciding which one to go for (kind of leaning towards Scarlet but we'll wait and see).

I just wanna pinch the male player character cus he such a CUTIE PIE, but I'm burnt out on pokemon atm, I might get it in 5 years

Will they run out if we don’t preorder 8 months in advance?

Stalin Soviet Union duck has me about to pre order. And i never pre order

Will wait for a double pack and/or preorder bonuses.

I will pre-order as soon as we know if we can transfer all our Pokémon that we already have caught.

Pre-ordering a game originally meant getting the game the day it launched because it may sell out. But digital versions are infinite, that's no longer a concern.

In-game pre-order bonuses are a nice gesture and all, but they usually amount to an unfair advantage early on and therefore a less challenging experience. The game looks lovely so far from what little we've seen, but there's no harm in waiting until after it's released when plenty of reviews are out.

Why would I pre-order now if the game releases in like 9 months? Can pre-order in 8 months as well and still get a copy at (or even before) release

After Arceus (being the lovely wonder that it is) I think I’m gonna take a Poké-Break for a year or so.. Between New Snap, Brilliant Diamond, and the letdown that was Let’s Go.. I’ma need a year..

I wish they’d do with the Zelda franchise like they’re doing with the Pokémon franchise.. I’d be one happy mf

I am curious about the final evos and also legendaries first...

Hmm, I shall wait until more information. Recently I have been able to preorder a digital copy of one version and then get a physical of the opposite version.. may go Violet digital, and Scarlet physical.. TBD

@ManaOwls I can tell you now, you won't be getting this game at all then. The National Dex is dead and Gamefreak seem to be tailoring each game with only certain mons. To be fair I prefer this approach, if they actually put the effort in with animations (aka Legends) and not half arse it (aka Sw/Sh)

Way too soon to pre-order, right?? XD. I would need to know more before, and see how the gameplay will be.

I need to know the differences between the two versions first. I assume that will be a while.

Lmao that’s too early, what a mistake.

PreOrder when time comes...

@Kiz3000 I hear you, I just hope at one point we can combine the best of both worlds. Cause I actually transferred all my Pokémon back from Game Boy Advance to DS to 3DS. All my Pokémon are trapped on Ultra Sun and Moon now which is such a shame cause I really liked the feature to get your Pokémon over to the next generation. Also, I don't like to catch the same Pokémon over and over again, I already have all gen 1 to gen 7 Pokémon (807 Pokémon). But if it turns out that we won't have a National Dex in Scarlet and Violet I'll do the same thing that I did with Sword and Shield, I'll wait for a sale and then get them for my backlog in case I decide to catch the new Pokémon.

C’mon Steel Pack bonus… I need to keep the collection going.

little too soon tbh since it won't be out til November probably

I don’t get why anyone would pre-order. Legendary pokemon weren’t even revealed yet.

The double pack will probably follow the same trend it always does over here, which is being €20 extra versus buying the games loose.

Oh well, too early for a pre-order, going to do that at earliest 2 weeks before launch.

Waiting for Dual pack with SteelCase to go with it and 100 pokeball collection and preorder bonus.

@Browny There is no "earned".

Wait for the Pokemon Center preorders. They usually have good bonuses.

I can’t preorder before I know the differences between the two versions! If my boi Sneasel is in there and that’s version exclusive, I need to know which version to get.

Get 2 rare candy and a Zubat if you have a save file for Let's Go, Pokemon SWSH, Arceus, and BDSP if you pre order now!

I usually order from best buy. Still waiting for them to add it.

They’re really pumping out these Pokémon titles, aren’t they? It’s amazing people still have such high expectations haha. Arceus was OK, it certainly stands out amongst the Pokémon lineup, but stacked up against other games with similar mechanics, it looks unfinished at best. I predict Pokémon goes live service at some point, sooner than later too.

Seems way too early to be preordering this game given how little we know about it.

@commentlife
Pokemon sells gangbusters as is, no need to change the current release schedule or overall business model.

Though I'd would have gone straight for Violet, I'll wait till I find out what Pokemon exclusives are on which version this time.

Preordering popular games months in advance is utter nonsense.

I'll preorder the games when they show up on the eshop. But I am still genuinely excited for these games. Not overwhelmingly so, like back when X and Y were on their way, but excited enough to preorder right away.

@Gravitron : Throw in a Magikarp and you've got yourself a deal!

@Juga He is adorable!!!

I wish we would move away from cover legendaries and back to featuring starter/normal Pokemon on the cover. Legends Arceus and Let's Go are good examples of how inviting the box art feels when they feature normal Pokemon instead.

I don't see the point in preordering months in advance.
