Patches are for weird ass awkward people who put those things on hats, coats or backpacks they bring everywhere along with the rest of their other overcrowded labels on it. As for the lanyards, they also look cheap and they're so common that most people already have one that's better suited to use.
Pre-orders have been stupid forgettable shit for the last few generations. Last time I actually even tried to pre-order a pokemon game it was Moon version, and all I got was a fucking small round Lunala pin at a midnight release that I only bothered to go because it was on the way back home from work. This a multi billion company, they can afford to add an extra buck of effort or two to these things. If Gales Of Darkness, a nearly two decade old non-mainline game can give you a whole console skin as a preorder that these days cost 15-20 bucks at gamestop, so can these mainline games.
