Pokémon Scarlet and Violet lovers can show their appreciation of the games by claiming these free downloads.

Despite other, newer Pokémon experiences now being available – like the hugely popular Pokémon TCG Pocket – many fans are still playing Scarlet and Violet.

And when they’re not attempting to catch ‘em all, they’re thinking about it.

Did you know that NSO also has a treasure trove of classic Pokémon games?

These free Nintendo offerings will give you the chance to spruce up your Nintendo Switch Online profile, finally putting the coins you’ve amassed to use.

The selection on offer isn’t quite as varied as previous collections, unfortunately.

“Man... I really want a Dendra icon,” posted @Cheshire87Cat alongside a gif of the character. “I hope they release one.”

Still, some of the most popular and recognisable characters from the games are free for you to download.

No time limit has been set for these Nintendo Switch Online goodies, or, if it has, it’s not one that’s been readily shared.

Nevertheless, while you might not have a tight deadline to work to, it’s always best downloading the freebies you want sooner rather than later just in case.

This latest NSO drop isn’t the only Pokémon surprise slipped under the tree in time for Christmas.

A free Christmas themed DLC has also appeared that’ll become available shortly.

When you’re not hunting for new offers, you might be one to turn your attention to secrets and theories about some of the most beloved Pokémon.

One such theory will prevent you from looking at Gengar the same way ever again.

Returning to the matter at hand, if you fancy updating your NSO profile, there’s several new icons available to help you do just that.

Even if you’re only looking for a new frame or background, NSO has you covered.
