Excitement is building for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and the Pokemon Center is fueling the fire with a unique pre-order bonus.  Fans who love collecting physical merchandise alongside their new games will want to pay close attention.

While much of the game remains shrouded in mystery, recent teasers have offered glimpses of the starters, plot details, gameplay mechanics, and graphical improvements compared to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. This has undoubtedly piqued the interest of many players, making the prospect of pre-ordering even more tempting.

The Pokemon Center's pre-order bonus for Legends: Z-A is a free Sitting Cuties plush of one of the three starters: Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile.  The plush will be randomly selected, so collectors hoping for a specific starter may need to trade with other players.  These adorable plushes typically range from 5 1/2 to 6 inches in size, although the pre-order versions might differ slightly.  It's worth noting that both the Totodile and Chikorita Sitting Cuties are currently sold out on the Pokemon Center website.

This continues a trend from the previous installment in the series, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which also included a Sitting Cuties plush as a pre-order bonus from the Pokemon Center.

While the anticipation is high, pre-orders for Pokemon Legends: Z-A are not yet open on the Pokemon Center website.  To avoid missing out, fans can register on the Pokemon Legends: Z-A page to receive a notification when pre-orders go live.

The hype surrounding Pokemon Legends: Z-A is undeniable.  Teasers showcasing returning characters, new battle system mechanics, and the evolving cityscape of Lumiose City have captivated fans.  While some players might be hesitant to pre-order or purchase the game immediately after the technical issues experienced with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, there is still a palpable sense of excitement for this next installment.  Hopefully, the developers have dedicated sufficient time and resources to ensure a polished and enjoyable gaming experience that will win back players and rekindle their passion for the franchise.
