For those that are planning on purchasing both versions of the game, there will be a special double pack that is now available for pre-order. Considering that both games cost $59.99, expect the bundle to cost you about double that price.

During the Pokemon Direct, a few other details were shown off like who your rival is, the name of the champion of the Galar region, and much, much more.

We also got a look at the two new legendary Pokemon who will be taking the spot on the box art covers for the two games. These two Pokemon are Zacian and Zamazenta.

According to a description on the Official Pokemon site, “Zacian attacks so gracefully that its movements can even captivate its opponents. It holds what appears to be a sword in its mouth.”

“Zamazenta’s regal and majestic movements overwhelm any opponents that dare face it. Its body is covered in what seems to be a shield.”
