Which version?

As we get closer, Shield just seems like the hands down best to get. All my favorites seem to comes from shield. With the leaks, it is a bit annoying that they aren't showing some of the version exclusives which is dumb. So I am hopping, if they don't confirm stuff, that Shield is the one that I wanted and expect.

I know we can trade, but sometimes when you have the most popular version, it becomes more difficult.

I think I have said it before, but I prefer Bea over Allister, so I am hoping in post game, we can face against the version exclusive gym leaders.

I had a small preference for Sword initially, mostly for Bea and Zacian, but the leaks literally changed my mind. I will be getting Shield.

The trades will be easy with the Global Trade Station.

I tried hard not to follow the leaks, with limited success (I still don't know at least a dozen new Pokémon). Long story short, I saw one I loved and it is Shield exclusive. I was pretty ambivalent before, slightly preferring Sword, but now I've decided it will be Shield.

I've chosen Sword, because I like it's legendary. I want that legendary by my side on my trip in Galar.
 
I am getting both and playing Sword first while my wife plays Shield. I managed to avoid all but the starter final evo leaks and am quite pleased to have done so since I enjoy not knowing just what in the heck I will run into.

Honestly, I've been decided on getting both since day one since that first trailer made me excited and feel like I was a little kid again getting my first game all over again. No matter how the series changes, I'm always glad to play a new entry in it ^^
 
My fiancée and I are getting both; he's playing Sword while I'm playing Shield. I liked the selection of Pokémon in Shield, even though I prefer the sword doggo.
 
I'm going to buying both Sword and Shield. I usually end up getting both anyway, so yeah. But I'll probably play Sword first, then Shield.
 
I was going to get Shield but all my friends are too, so I'll get Sword to trade verion exclusives.
 
I've finally decided on Shield - it's a bit of a downer, because I really like Zacian, but Shield has Allister and Gigantamax Corviknight and easy access to Galarian Ponyta and I can't stress enough Allister, and I'm sure I can learn to love Shield Dog...Although, I've heard rumors around the household I might be getting both for Christmas! We'll have to see...
 
I always end up getting both, but initially I'm going to be grabbing Shield.
