More detailed sales figures have come out of Japan regarding the recently released Pokemon Sword & Shield games for the Nintendo Switch platform. It’s Pokemon Sword which proved to the most popular version to purchase by Japanese consumers selling 499,753 copies. Pokemon Shield sold 347,629 units. Pokemon Sword & Shield are both available right now on Nintendo Switch and our review shall come shortly.
This was obvious from the moment they announced the names. Of course Sword, the weapon, was going to be more popular than Shield, the defense. That’s why I got Shield, as I always do the less popular version. It gives me ever so slightly more valuable version exclusives.
I bought both for a very seap discount…. like original price was like £99.99 for them together and bought seperately, take away from my trade in which was Luigi’s Mansion 3, my disused MW Pre-Order (which was a £5) and the £5 deposits I put down for both of them, I got them both for £42.18
So I’m kind of happy!
Good thing i got Sword because its a better version for me.
I also bought Shield because of the same reason :) So it’s easier to find people to trade with.
I just think the sword one looks cuter o3o the shield one just kinda looks a bit dumb to me
It’s not the one with the wolf with the weired looking shield head? Oh my, I’m shocked. I’d totally go with Sword, but unfortunately I much prefer Shield’s exclusives =/
I was gonna get Shield, but then they announced Bea.
Shield dog looked too ugly. So I went with sword dog. Tbh they both looked terrible to me lol I mean really a dog holding a sword in his mouth is a legendary, come on now lol

Its a Norse mythology reference, as is the above link to a very famous boss fight.
Lmao well thanks for that bit of info, sounds about right. Norse mythology is full of some crazy stories
I got Shield. Guess that means I got some version exclusives to trade over.
Pokemon Sword, Pokemon Shield and Pokemon Spear.
I’m glad this game is selling well and I’m also glad yall are enjoying it. I’m going getting Pokemon soon too.
I got Shield because it had Tyranitar
Isn’t the first of the two versions always the most popular? Red, Gold, Ruby, Diamond and so on.
I hate Allister but I really like Melony and Zamazenta so I chose shield. I wish Bea and Melony were on both games.
