These new Razer X Pokemon devices are launching just a few days before the upcoming Pokemon Direct happening on July 22. While we don’t know what will be shown at the showcase, it’s the first Pokemon Direct since the Switch 2 launched, so it’s possible there could be exciting announcements related to Nintendo’s new console. At the very least, we wouldn’t be surprised to see more information on the upcoming Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which launches for Switch and Switch 2 on October 16. Preorders for both versions are available now–be sure to check our Pokemon Legends: Z-A preorder guide for more information on where to pick up the game ahead of release.
