Pokemon Legends: Z-A isn't the next mainline Pokemon game with an entirely new region and Pokedex to fill up, but it is a new core Pokemon game that will bring players back to the Kalos region introduced in X and Y on the 3DS. This time around, though, you'll get to explore an expanded Lumiose City, with tons of Wild Zones to catch all sorts of Pokemon and compete in the A-Z Royale to become the top trainer.
If you plan on preordering Pokemon Legends: Z-A (either digitally or physically), there may be some exclusive bonuses for you to claim. Here are all the preorder bonuses we know about so far for the game!
