Have you decided on which version to get yet?
 
Have you?

colours June 7th, 2019 3:21 AM

Nah, haven't decided yet! I'm leaning slightly towards Sword if only because I like Zacian better, but I'm still waiting for versions exclusives to really sell either version for me.

a small part of me wants to get both but that would be rather expensive

Cid June 7th, 2019 3:26 AM

I have not! When it comes to the box legendaries, I like them both now! Zacian grew on me earlier but Zamazenta is a good boye as well. Honestly it'll probably come down to version differences and which one my friend will pick. I'll happily buy the other so we can trade version exclusives!

Iceshadow3317 June 7th, 2019 5:26 AM

I have not decided yet as it will come down to the other version exclusives, but right now I am leaning more toward Shield. The Shield legend is far more vibrant in color and to me, has a better design.

So right now I am leaning toward Shield.

Yue Han June 7th, 2019 5:52 AM

Like others it will come down to the version exclusives if there is a version exclusive I adore. If not then my leaning is towards Sword.

blue June 7th, 2019 6:13 AM

sword from day 1. i’ll probably end up getting both eventually, though.

Harmonie June 7th, 2019 6:44 AM

I've always gotten the "first" version (Red, Gold, Ruby, etc.) before any others, and I see no reason to change that here, so Sword.

Rengoku June 7th, 2019 7:33 AM

Since X I decided to only buy one version (Always picked the Blue one-- Alpha Sapphire, Moon and Ultra Moon and LGE) but this time I'll be getting both.

I'll preorder Sword first then I'll get Shield when I'm done with Sword.

moon June 8th, 2019 3:05 AM

It will probably for me depend on version exclusives or evil team differences etc. But if I would base it on legendaries alone, as is the only thing I can base it on so far, I might go with Shield because the thought of having both Solgaleo and Zamazentha on a team is cool to me :D However, we don't even know their types yet soooo. Well, I guess they'll be Steel + something else, or just Steel.

hotsushi-kun June 8th, 2019 6:31 AM

I choose Shield version.

Starry Windy June 8th, 2019 7:17 AM

I want to get both if possible. I might try Sword version first though, because I like blue color and the logo looks pretty sharp.

Taemin June 8th, 2019 8:34 AM

I'm definitely going for Sword!

And then maybe whatever third version we get? If there is one.

Palamon June 8th, 2019 8:40 AM

I always tend to get both games, so, yeah, both.

But I always get the first version in the title first (with the exception of Pokemon White). I got Diamond before Pearl, HeartGold before SoulSilver, Black2 Before White2, X before Y and Sun/Ultra Sun before Moon/Ultra Moon, so I see no reason to stop that trend now.

Saphron June 8th, 2019 7:22 PM

When they were announced I decided Sword cuz Sword is blue. After seeing the box legendaries I'm definitely getting Sword cuz I dislike Zamazenta and dislike Zacian a bit less.

Alex June 8th, 2019 7:29 PM

I prefer Swordoggo but I'm still considering buying the bundle. If I choose one, it will come down to exclusives, though.

Pig June 8th, 2019 7:57 PM

I prefer shield dog's design, but Sword matches the theme of rest of the games I've chosen before :dansad:
I had resolved on Sword from day one for that reason anyway.

Sydian July 1st, 2019 9:29 AM

i'll probably end up with both as i typically do, the only times i haven't gotten both versions are with ultra sun (i just haven't had funds or time, but i do wanna replay usum and don't wanna restart um so) and let's go pikachu (which i probably won't get bc...i don't like pikachu but i REALLY love LGPE and don't wanna restart my eevee one so...we'll see) but i'll probably get them both here bc i want big wolfies. if i don't have the funds for both on release day though, i was already planning on sword being my 'main' for gen 8 so that's what'll come first.

Fairy July 1st, 2019 3:06 PM

Last time I got to pick Pokemon Sun (my preference), so this time my fiance gets his preference. Been doing this system since Black and White lol.

He will be getting Sword and I will be getting Shield. n_n;

Raticate128 July 3rd, 2019 3:29 AM

I was going to get both at one point, but in the end it's buying the same game twice. There's always trading and the GTS for version exclusives. So I've settled on buying Sword.

Caite-chan July 3rd, 2019 4:37 AM

I'm definitely getting Sword but I dono if I'll get Shield too I've been thinking about it though.

EmTheGhost July 4th, 2019 2:01 PM

I usually try not to get too attached to one version before I know the version exclusives, but unless Shield has an exclusive I absolutely cannot do without, I'm pretty much set on Sword.

NathanCollects July 5th, 2019 8:51 PM

I hope they bring a special edition switch out that you can buy with both games

Raicheot July 7th, 2019 10:01 PM

I'll prob get both, one for the partner and one for me and may let the kids play them lol hopefully there will be a decent deal as I don't fancy spending too much on the games

ecruteak92 July 8th, 2019 11:10 PM

I haven't decided yet because I need to know the version-exclusive Pokemon and also the version-exclusive gym Challenge.

Super Pokemon July 9th, 2019 8:26 AM

Shield

I like the cover mascot better, that is usually how I pick lol.

Charizard over Blastoise

Lugia over Ho-Oh

Groudon over Kyorge

And so on.......

shayfee July 9th, 2019 8:43 AM

i'll likely be getting sword. i really like zacian's design, so unless shield has some amazing exclusives, sword it is!
part of the reason i love zacian so much is he reminds me of the great grey wolf sif from dark souls, haha
