Listings show both formats: many titles are available as physical cartridges, others as digital downloads, and some offer both. Double packs are offered either as packaged physical copies or as digital downloads.

Online features require an active internet connection, a linked user/system account, and a console online membership (sold separately) as noted in the listings.

Featured exploration elements include wide-open worlds with seamless towns and wilderness, area-specific attractions such as the Grand Underground (digging and Secret Bases), Pokémon Hideaways, the ability for Pokémon to walk behind the player (e.g., Amity Square), rideable legendary Pokémon, and region-specific mechanics like Terastallizing.

A digital double pack includes the digital downloads of both games. Purchases are delivered to the purchaser's linked system/account and both titles are downloaded to that system; the listings note a separate download code for one game will not be provided.

Software updates can be required to enable features such as online communication, Mystery Gift, and post-story content. Downloadable versions may already include update data, while physical copies commonly require an additional update download to access those features.
