The next big Pokémon game is scheduled to launch on 16th October 2025, and it's coming to not one, but two Nintendo consoles.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A will come out on the original Switch, but there's also a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition launching on the exact same day, which will have improved visuals and better frame rates.

Pre-Order Pokémon Legends Z-A On Switch 1
Here's where you can pre-order an original Switch version of the game in the US, Canada, and the UK - and just as with the Switch 2 versions, My Nintendo Store in Europe has a bunch of bundle deals (while stocks last):
Are There Any Pre-Order Bonuses For Pokémon Legends Z-A?
In the UK, yes, and it's probably only a matter of time before the US follows suit. My Nintendo Store has pre-order bonus goodies for the physical and digital editions, both of which will come with a 'Partner Pokémon Figurine' bonus (while stocks last).
It's a sweet little standee, featuring the game's three Starters — Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile — and a neat bonus.
There are also bundles available with a whole bunch of goodies, including a Mega Evolution cap, Mega Charizard figurines, pins, mugs and an umbrella.

If you're going digital, remember that NSO Game Vouchers still work on Nintendo-published Switch 1 games, and then you can separately purchase the upgrade pack for Switch 2. This saves $10 over the price of buying the digital version outright (whether or not you get the upgrade).
I purchased a pair of NSO game vouchers the day before they stopped offering Gold Points for digital purchases, so I got a $5 discount for my $100 in addition to saving $10 per game for the two games I'm redeeming the vouchers on: Pokemon Legends Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

Ah. I forgot about that!
For massive deal games like this, I tend to go physical though.
For me it depends:
Digital games are a lot more convenient to switch in and out of. I typically only buy physical if it's (1) heavily discounted or bought used and/or (2) a single player game that I will more or less dedicate my cartridge slot to until I've finished the game and moved on to another one.
Anything I want to be able to drop in and out of quickly (Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Splatoon, etc.) I will heavily prefer digital. Same with games I want to add to my library permanently (anything Zelda and a lot of the AAA Mario games).
I don't see much value in video games as a physical collectible/displayable object, though I do collect amiibo and sometimes other figures.
How come Amazon NA doesn't have the for PreOrder? Did the Divorce of Nintendo not letting Amazon sell Switch 2 consoles now translate to 1st party games now?
