A Cute Freebie For A Highly Anticipated Game
Pokémon Legends: Z-Ahas a lot riding on it, after the controversial release and legacy ofPokémon Scarlet and Violet, though that game got asubstantial free upgrade for the Switch 2 version. Giving away a free plush through Pokémon Center for this release isan interesting way to get on fans' good sides, especially given how authentic and adorable the plushes look. The plushes are about six inches tall. They all have a microbeaded base, so they will sit upright on almost every flat surface, unlike most plushes.

Our Take: This Is A Great Pre Order Bonus
Something To Keep For A Long While
Even though the Switch 2 version of the game is currently sold out through Pokémon Center, which will disappoint a lot of fans,it’s hard to deny how great a pre-order bonus the plush is. Pokémon has some of the most collectible video game merchandise, and three plushes are not cheap, so being able to get one for free, especially at a new game’s launch, is a huge plus. An upgrade pack to go from the Switch 1 version to the Switch 2 versionwill be available at launch, so fans may want to consider getting the Switch version now for the plush and upgrade at launch for the better version
The plush will be a nice sentimental piece to celebrate the release of a new Pokémon game and something fans will surely enjoy having. Most pre-order bonuses are typically early access to in-game items or early access, less meaningful things.Pokémon Legends: Z-Ais offering a substantial gift, and it might be hard to resist if you’re a big Pokémon fan.
