Pokémon Scarlet and Violet free downloads available for you to nab now

Pokémon fans, you’ll want to check out these freebies while you still can.

Love for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet isn’t always easy to find – for some gamers, its flaws made it an unsatisfying experience.

While we don’t necessarily agree with that logic, we understand why some should feel that way.

If you’re someone who doesn’t appreciate Scarlet and Violet, these free downloads are going to prove mighty disappointing.

Isn't it time for another playthrough of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? We think so

However, if you adore everything about the game, you’re in for a real treat with this selection of goodies.

Currently, Nintendo Switch users can download several freebies inspired by the title.

You guessed it – we're talking about those Nintendo Switch Online icons.

As shared by the Twitter account NSO Icons Alert, this is the “final wave” of Scarlet and Violet downloads.

“Thank you!” commented evolvesatlvl20, seemingly happy to see the next batch of themed downloads become available.

User @bigbeatsal, however, had a more barbed response to the announcement, saying, “Finally I can buy... Evil Penny.”

The selection, as always, is dividing fans.

While some of pleased to see the icons they’ve been waiting for become available, others think the collection is underwhelming.

We’ll let you be the judge.

Assuming you’ve made your selections, or aren’t bothered about these downloads at all, we have more Pokémon news to share with you.

Just don’t blame us if you find yourselves wishing you’d never read about it.

After all these years, we now know what Diglett’s full body looks like, and honestly, some mysteries are best left unsolved.

If your curiosity wins out and you peek behind the veil, we can only apologise at what you’ll find there.

Returning to the original subject matter that brought you here, the NSO icons won’t be available forever.

Should you intend to get these freebies, now is the time to act.

They might come around again, but we doubt it’ll be any time soon.
