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.
