>>54301373Admittedly, I was planning on stopping on Gen 7, but despite telling my brother that he shouldn't buy Gen 8, not only did he buy it anyway, but he also bought the double pack. He let me use Sword so I was able to get most of the Gen 8 Pokemon, though I'd borrow Shield for a day to get Zamazenta as well.
Pirated Sword when it leaked on my hacked switch and installed the DLC because fuck Game Freak and as such, was able to get all the DLC Pokemon.
I was genuinely interested in Legends Arceus so I bought that and ended up with the best Pokemon game on the Switch.
We ended up buying the Double Pack again for SV and surprisingly he didn't like it, so now I have both copies.
Basically, kind of.
And for better or worse I'd eventually get my own copy of Sword and Shining Pearl later down the line when I was browsing Fucking Gamestop and saw new copies of them both for 40 bucks each.
