  • I will definitely get a physical copy. I only buy digital ones of my less favorite games.

  • I will get a physical copy of the game. They're ~25% cheaper in my country and I prefer physical copies anyway.

    I'll be getting the physical copy, not sure if I'm going to get the double pack or not yet

  • It depends. Even though I don't mind occasional digital copies, I'm mostly leaning on physical these days. So I might get Sword/Shield on physical too.

    I like owning what I pay for, so if I decide to buy one of these, it'd be physical. I'm not paying outrageous digital store prices for what is basically a long-term rental.

    Physical!

    The only Pokemon game I've ever digitally downloaded is Yellow for the 3DS, and only because I still own the physical Yellow game... asdsdf

    Buying digital games for Pokemon makes me uncomfortable, because I like to make sure I can hold onto them!

  • I will always buy my games physical unless they are on sale or are expansion like WoW or Sim 4. I just prefer to have hard copies. Not only do I just like having them on my shelf, I also can sell them if I get tired or them or find myself not playing it.

  • I always get my games physical (if possible), not comfortable with doing things digitally.

    Over the years I've had games I enjoyed lost to the 'sands of time' due to them being digital release only. That's why I've been apprehensive about the so called future of everything becoming digital only.

  • I've been debating back-and-forth about this.

    I would MUCH rather have a physical copy, but part of the fun is playing right when it releases. Since no one does midnight releases anymore, that's pretty much not possible unless I pre-download. :/

    Plan to get a physical copy. Gotta pre-order mine soon so I can go pick it up at EB Games near my work.

    I've always bought physical Pokemon games, the only one I bought digitally was Let's Go but that came with the Let's Go switch.

  • Neither. I'll have a second-hand copy instead, please.

    So technically, a physical copy.
