The latest sales flier from Target highlights a special offer with the in-store purchase of the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet double game bundle. Target is offering the double game bundle for $119.99 and while Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available now for pre-order, the upcoming sales flier is very clear that this offer is for in-store only with no rain checks allowed. The bonus figure is being advertised as a Target Exclusive, which means that there is currently no other known method to acquire the bonus figurine.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are the latest mainline entries in the worldwide smash-hit Pokemon franchise. A new generation of Pokemon is set to make its debut in the upcoming title, representing the 9th Generation of Pokemon in the franchise's storied history. The next Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer will give more information on the over 100 Pokemon yet to be revealed as part of the 9th Gen. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will have three new starter Pokemon players can choose from with all three represented as the Target-exclusive bonus figurine.
Fans that acquire the Target double-bundle of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will get, for free, an exclusive bonus figurine featuring all 3 of the new starter Pokemon. Each of the new starters already has Pokemon Scarlet and Violet merchandise available, though Target's reveal is the only way to get this particular figurine. The allocation for each Target is unknown, but past bonus offers have sold out within a matter of minutes and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are expected to be top sellers in-line with every previous mainline game.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's new starter Pokemon are Sprigatto, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. The traditional starter elements of Grass, Fire, and Water have not changed though the gym order and other starter-area Pokemon have yet to be revealed. The Target exclusive bonus figurine shows each starter Pokemon in its original form. Fans are already developing theories on what the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet evolved forms will look like for each of the starters.
Pokemon fans have immediately taken to social media to express either a desire for the bonus figurine or to bemoan the pre-order they already placed with a different retailer. A few fans reported that Target pre-orders can't be picked up at the store while others said that they talked directly to customer service and were able to make arrangements. If interested in acquiring the Target exclusive figurine, it is best to call a local Target and ask about policies for in-store bonus items. In the meantime, creative Pokemon fans are waiting for November 18 by making fan designs of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starters that are incredibly impressive.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available on November 18 exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
