What kinda hooman is going to buy Pokemon Shield over the clearly superior Sword?

[hydro94530]

Is OP a Ferangi?

 

[Dogenzaka]

I'm getting shield cause the darker edgier colors appeal to me more! Shield Doggo is best doggo!

 

[ZiZ]

Eh, both their designs are kinda meh, so I'll need to check the other version exclusives.

 

[singo]

They are both kind of meh, but the sword dog is really dumb. So I will obviously be getting both.

 

[Galkinator]

Both mascot pokemon are completely underwhelming, probably the worst designs in history for main legendary pokemon.
Literally the same dog but with either a shield head or forced sword, lmao.
At least we have Corviknight which looks awesome

 

[Jimnymebob]

Sword dog is a trash pile.

 

[woopWOOP]

Don't care 'bout legendaries
Waiting for the version exclusives to be revealed so I can make a decision based on that

Oh lol, it's a species from Star Trek and they refer to humans as hoomans :-)

 

[Zeckett]

I'll decide when we know more

ohhhh

No I just did it because dogs in memes also refer to humans as hoomans and we're talking dogs in this thread :3

 

[Aleh]

I might end up deciding on the one with the better home screen icon.

 

[MadMike]

I think the shield one looks slightly less stupid than the sword one. So I'm probably going with that.

Oh got you, never even knew that. I like that pic lol.

 

[Andrew J]

I play the less popular version, so I have an easier time trading for exclusives.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I always buy the one people think is shittier lol

I like...underdogs

 

[Normal]

Shield dog got the better design. But I'll buy Sword over Shield.

 

[Like the hat?]

I'm getting both. Giving sword to my son, keeping shield.

Keeping shield because it reminds me of the bright shield rune in Suikoden 2.

 

[Fuhgeddit]

Buying Shield, I love the design.

 

[luther manhole]

my partner is buying sword so i will be buying shield. i didn't really care either way, both look fine to me!

 

[orochi91]

Damn @ Shield.

Sword is getting blasted~~~

 

[Dark Knight]

How do you know which is superior if you haven't seen the exclusives? They always dictate my choice.

 

[Woffls]

I typically go for the less popular version because that version's exclusives will inherently be less common when it comes to trading,

 

[Falchion]

Sword all the fucking way.

 

[Wil Grieve]

I always try to buy the one I think less people will buy

So, Shieldboi

 

[lupinko]

I always buy both games and multiple copies since coming back to the franchise in 2013.

Originally I was going to get Sword digital so that it's always with me and Shield Physical to play down the line and share with my daughter but after watching the Pokémon direct with my daughter she demanded I Switch and get Sword physical and Shield digital because she demanded the Dark Souls puppy! Since I lost the argument when she called in my wife (Cheater) I'm going with what she wants.

 

[Linde]

Shield and it's not even a question. The sword dog looks terrible in comparison

 

[Sojiro]

I'm going shield because all my buddies will most likely go sword.

 

[BrightLightLava]

I'm waiting to see what the other version exclusives are, but yeah it seems like Sword is going to be way more popular.

 

[Numberfox]

I like shields/protection/tanks over swords/arms/DPS, RPG-wise, so I'm going Shield.

Surprised to see how even the votes are, I guess Pokémon designed them well with that kinda result.

 

[Deleted member 20852]

I'm getting Shield just because my brother who's much more into Pokémon said he'll get Sword. I do prefer the Shield legendary as well.

 

[OneThirtyEight]

It looks dumb so i would have if i was in to pokemon.

 

[trugs26]

Sword legendary looks dumb. I'm getting the shield one. Cool shield mane.

 

[Sleve McDichael]

I'm #TeamShield for now
But I'll decide which one to buy when we see the exclusive Pokemon.

 

[Maxina]

Zacian = Dog with a sword in its mouth, wow how original. Zamazenta = dog with a fucking shield on its face, never before done. Its obvious which is the right answer.

 

[ShinobiBk]

Shield has that contrarian vote locked up I see

 

[mathematics]

Shield is red. I always get the red version

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

The shield dude is the better design.

 

[sandkiller]

Let's go Agents of Shield!!

SWORD = Hydra

 

[Sou Da]

depends on what exclusives shield has

 

[WizardMemories]

Zacian is ugly.
Zamazenta is one of the best Pokemon ever.

 

[Jawmuncher]

The shield Pokémon looks dumb as hell. Sorry y'all.

 

[Professor Beef]

Believe in The Shield

 

[Ivan2Nguyen]

Pokemon Shield is basically a cat with it's face in a slice of bread. How can you not like that?

[Knight613]

I bet they put the cooler pokemon in Shield to counter the legendary.

[1000% H]

Safety first, which I why I'm going Safety Pup over Danger Pup.

 

[Necromorph]

This guy showed me the shield can be the best weapon:

 

[asmith906]

Sword is clearly the best
