Got a $10 target voucher in my email so I used it towards a preorder game, bringing it down to $75.
Pre-Order Pokemon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - $85.
Release Date: 16th October 2025.
https://www.target.com.au/p/pre-order-pokemon-legends-z-a-ni…
Does it have an expiry?
Yeah, the one I just signed up for expires sep 30th.
When do you get the $10 coupon? I signed up but haven't received anything.
I received it immediately. Is there another email you could try? Maybe you've used that one before?
the question is can you catch them all with this game?
Nintendo have been trying to take down every switch rom site lately, lol i wonder why? because we can get the same games and run it on a emulator on a steam deck? hmmm?
PSA for newsletter signups - you can use the gmail +1 trick to get endless newsletter vouchers without using another account.
The price it should be to start with :'(
Games have gotten cheaper every year, Mario Kart on SNES was equivalent of ~$205 when it first released
I didn't see you post that deal on your rose tinted glasses
I didn't see you write a comment that makes sense
The joke was the original 151 was not that good compared to modern games. No one's going back to play red/blue tomorrow.
I don't know what you want:
- Dynamax/Terastallisation are not in this game.
- Mega Evolution is almost 13 years old and back due to popular demand.
- There are no new Pokemon in this game (that we know of), but Megas make many of the original 151 viable and fresh.
- If you literally want vanilla Red & Blue you are allowed to play your old copy.
Sounds better than I thought, lets see how it goes. Still a bit fearful of mega evolution
Still a bit fearful of mega evolution
Me too, they're scary! 🫣
Mega Evolutions were the most fun out of all the mechanics.
Thanks OP. I made a new account for the $10 voucher (couldn't get it via the newsletter signup).
Was it a unique code?
Yes I just did the same.
I got the switch 1 version for $59 after using the $10 newsletter code.
I decided against buying a switch 2 on release and don't think I'll be getting one till an OLED or special edition releases. So I'll take the fps and quality cut and play Z-A on switch oled on release.
I won’t be giving Nintendo any further money until the current proprietary and anti competition shenanigans stop. They are turning into Apple/Disney
I feel you. They're arguably a lot worse than apple and disney combined.
I'm still on the fence about the purchase, but figure I'll place a pre-order and then cancel prior to release if I change my mind.
Agree. Ps, did not neg your comment.
The “cool” thing is you can buy the Switch 2 version and it’ll work on Switch, and then you’ll already have the Switch 2 version (if you buy one, one day) without having to buy again, or likely get higher resale/trade in value when you’re done with it.
Oh weird. I thought only the switch (1) version would work on both.
That's what I get for not keeping up with all the switch info haha.
Yeah it’s interesting/confusing isn’t it. The Switch 2 version/cartridge is the Switch 1 version with Switch 2 Upgrade Pack. Hence why you get “both” versions on the Switch 2 version. Zoom in to the pack shot for more info and confirmation.
@Pratty: Oh awesome! I have a Switch 1 and 2 but the Switch 2 is semi permanently connected to the TV for the kids whilst the Switch 1 is used by me hand-held.
That's really good, I think the BOTW/TOTK were also like this, didn't realise it was the same for this game.
Fixed the no cloud save feature yet? Lose switch, get it stolen, or it breaks and your years of progress are gone.
It's not something they'll just 'fix'. The whole point of no cloud saves for games like Pokemon and Splatoon is to avoid save editing since they have a ranked online element.
God I wish saves saved on the cartridge again. But then again they'd get lost as well if the battery ran out.
That sucks. Nintendo could do it if they really wanted
I don't even want to be part of a ranked online component, so to me it's punishment for nothing
Is Target click and collect for pick-up on Day 1 release, or only postage?
Would only let me pick postage
I'm not touching that game for at least a month after the reviews and honeymoon wears off, no matter the savings. Scarlet was such a burn for me.
decently cheaper than any other store, odds of a price match war?
Possibly, would (sadly) be surprised if it can be had for lower than $75 at launch. Price is reasonable enough now to just order and not worry about it.
Well I tried but the site was too broken to take my money for some reason.
I could try a different device but I'm not that interested.
Same. I could proceed as far as 'Delivery' but not to 'Payment'.
Sold out online and in store apparently
Not for me
But i forgot cashback
Are you in WA cause that'll do it.
I just went over to JB Hi-Fi and matched the $85. No discount but I'll use it on something else like DK or Kirby.
I’ve already preordered at JB, any chance I contact them and price match Target? I don’t want to lose my preorder bonus from JB.
same tbh bc we get all three badges
JB wouldn’t price matched pre order, target with $10 off code was best now to buy switch console.
Anyone know why this would exclude WA?
Same question!
Isn't Target always forgetting WA in majority of its deals?
I guess this is why it says sold out for me, WTF
is it a physical card or code in the box?
Physical card.
I think Pokemon peaked with Yellow Version.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
Get this game free when you trade in 2 selected PS5, Xbox Series X or Nintendo Switch games.
JB HiFi Pre Order includes BONUS pin set.
A game I have no interest in but wondering if we see any more of these 'dual packs' in the future.
The Dual Pack Edition includes 1 physical game cart + 1 game code (for a friend).

Got one, thanks OP
JB hifi price matched for me so will be able to pickup on launch day
This worked for me too.
Did you do this with online chat? Did you already have a preorder?
every live chat agent i am speaking too will not price match as there is a 'pre order bonus
Lol the potions? Thats absolute dogshit, tell em they can keep it
Yeah! Lol, I’ve cycled through about 6 agents today trying to PM ! I just wanted to pick up the game on release day :,)
Got one as well Thank you
Can this be played on Switch 1?
Yes. Explained above.
My kids will finally love me! Jk
Still says 'Shipment 1 of 1 – Packing your item(s)' wtf how hard is it
Mine is shipped this morning from Victoria…they must be going down the list cos the 2nd copy i ordered later hasn’t been updated yet.
Mine also was marked as shipped this morning but the GoPeople tracking say it's still with Target. Hopefully it comes today if they are using a delivery driver.
From previous orders with Target it takes about 2 days so hopefully it is delivered by Friday so I can play it on the weekend but latest would be Monday.
Item processed at sorting facility
MELBOURNE SOUTH EAST VIC • Fri 17 Oct, 2.04pm
I'm rescinding my upvote, ridiculous they couldn't deliver before the weekend.
Yeah a poor effort, what’s point in pre order if coming week after the release date.

I just did a newsletter signup here for a $10 sign up coupon which works. :) Cheers OP.
