Game Freak and Nintendo are known for giving players purchase bonuses to their consumers, and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will be no different. These gifts are often pre-order bonuses but can also be a bonus for purchasing digital copies of the game or specific versions of the game. Usually, these gifts/bonuses are only available for a limited amount of time and most recently are available for download via the Nintendo e-shop.
Pre-order bonuses for Pokémon games started with Pokémon Gold and Silver, where a CD containing upcoming product previews, wallpaper, music, and a trivia game was included with the game.

Many of the previous pre-order bonuses were different depending on the country and the retailer where the player purchased the game.
