He and she watched it. OR They watched it.

It is not clear which words are in bold. Personal pronouns are words that take the place of a noun. In this case, the nouns in the sentences are Bill, Kim, game. Personal pronouns can be gender specific. If you are replacing Bill, you must use the male personal pronoun, he. When replacing Kim, you must use the female personal pronoun, she. If you want to replace them both and combine them into one pronoun use they. The noun game is not gender specific so it is replaced using the pronoun it.
