Yeah. More often than not, that's what happens with me. It's also how I usually choose my starters.

By how I feel about the title choice, usually. I try not to spoil on anything until actually acquiring the game, if I can.

I was going to pick Shield anyway, but hearing that there was both a Ghost and Ice Gym in that version helped sell the decision, since those are two of my favorite types.

I played yellow, crystal and emerald. I choose Diamond over Pearl because I like Dialga's design much more than Palkia's. Heartgold over Soulsilver because of Ho-oh. I also choose white over black because of Zekrom's design that looked better than the furry dragon, but I also choose white 2 over black 2 because white 2 is the sequel of white. I choose X over Y because Xerneas reminded me of the forest spirit from princess mononoke.
Also OR over AS because I prefer Groudon over Kyogre, Team Magma over Team Aqua and I also like Courtney at least the new one. So it's only because of the box legends.

- Box legendary
- What are the rest of the Pokemon exclusives
- What are the character exclusives
- Any other differences between the two games

I go with whichever version has the most stuff I like.

First is the box legendaries, second is the exclusives, though usually, I try to avoid getting spoiled on those.
For Sword and Shield specifically I chose Shield after seeing Zamazenta's colors looked better much in game than Zacien

Quoted By:

I ended up picking Sword because I figured it would be the ultimate attack power Pokemon while Zamazenta would be the ultimate defense power Pokemon. I was correct in that but also shocked that Zamazenta's special defense didn't get that much of a boost and it didn't get Body Press or King's Shield.

Usually the titles aren't that on the nose about what to expect of the box legendary, but their designs usually give me an impression of which one I want. Like in gen 7 I was obviously going to pick the lion instead of the bat.

Usually just by box legendary, there's rarely enough significant differences between the two versions to warrant analysis beyond that. I've never had to worry about version exclusives because 1. they're usually shit and 2. I could just trade with my brother.

A few notable times where differences actually mattered:
Black 2 challenge mode > White 2 easy mode
Sword exclusive characters > Shield exclusive characters
Alpha Sapphire plot > Omega Ruby plot (but I still picked OR because of Groudon though).
