I’m just getting Sword right now. I personally like Zamazenta better than Zacian, but so far I like all of Sword’s other version exclusives more. It also didn’t help that I’ve been trying to get a Goodra for six years and finally got one in Alpha Sapphire, so while it’s my favorite Dragon type I want to try Hydreigon I never used one before. Also, from what I can tell, I get the feeling Sword will have more offensive-based pokémon (& characters like Bea), while Shield will have more defensive-based one.
The double pack is REALLY tempting since I’m the kind of person who usually buys both versions at launch, but I want to just stick with one game for now (or at least until the third version comes out) since I think that’s what caused me to burn out when replaying Gen 6 & 7. Plus, even before Dexit, I wasn’t convinced on spending $120 for both games.
