Isn't the whole point of preorders to gauge how many copies to print? Are they having supply chain issues too where they physically can't supply more?

They're doing that so that journalists can say that it was sold out everywhere

That's made to order. I think pre-orders are to gauge how many they should ship to a given store/chain. These babies are printed like at least a month in advance. The game comes out in two weeks.

More or less. Aka it is way to late for a preorder to matter as copies are made and shipped a couple of months ahead

Not really.
Pre-Orders exist to make people commit to something before they know if it's shit or not.

So did they force supply issues to make the game sound successful, knowing it will tank, or are they actually struggling to meet demand?

Knowing the Pokemon brand, especially with where Legends is set to release, probably both.

With Pokemon that doesn't seem to matter as people will buy it even if it's shit, and you can resell it for close to new price even months after the fact when everyone knows it's shit.
