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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm definitely going for Sword!

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

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.

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.

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.

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;

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.
