New Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Switch games are getting closer to release. Not only will trainers have to decide which version to get, but they will also have to consider whether to get a physical or digital copy of the game. If you’re going the digital route, according to Nintendo’s official listing on the website – these titles will require 10GB of file space each. By contrast, Pokémon Legends: Arceus was 6.1GB in size, and Pokémon Sword and Shield were 12.4GB each. These file sizes are subject to change between now and the November 18th release date, and there may be patches and updates that even increase the total file size in the future. If you’re looking to purchase a physical copy, be sure to check out our handy pre-order guide. There are even some double pack deals. At Pokémon Presents yesterday, an early purchase bonus was also revealed. It’s a special Pikachu that you can claim if you unlock the Mystery Gift option before February 28, 2023. This requires about 1 – 1.5 hours of gameplay. Here’s another look: Image: The Pokémon Company Will you be receiving digital or physical copies of Scarlet and Violet or a mix of both?
