Who were the best protagonists from the mainline pokemon games?

>>28485254
Sexiest? Dawn and Lyra

>>28485254
Red
Ethan
May
Dawn
Hilda
Rosa
Serena

There. They're also conveniently the best designed of their respective groups too.

>>28485254
do people seriously not know they're called calvin and serena?

>>28485254
best protagonists as whole gen: Emerald
best male: Emerald closely followed bby HGSS
best female: BW2

>>28485254
Nate and Rosa since they accomplished the most

Hilda.

Most /fa/ were platinum by far but I love the designs for bw. They're the most down to earth looking. Everyone else would stand out in a crowd in real life.

>>28485490
Calum*

or
Xavier and Yvonne

>>28485254
Brendan and May.

Although the main story was way too short.

>>28485578
fuck i mean Calem

I realized if Calem's 3d model wasn't so shitty I would like him a lot more. He looks okay in artwork, ingame he is generic smiley faced and chibified, looks like a grade schooler.

>>28485490
It's Calem, not Calvin. And the image is from before their names were revealed.

>>28485254
>normal names
>RED

Stupid decision right there, GameFreak.

>>28485348
>Played as the boy until you went on the internet and joined in with all the other neckbeards in being the little girl

>>28485606
Red is a normal name, are you stupid?

>>28485622
I've had the internet since 97, but nice try.

I just don't find the new male designs to be good. The only good once since those days has been Hilbert and I think Hilda's design is just slightly better.

But nice try, maybe one day you'll find your faggot trap on 4chan.

>>28485653
Yeah okay anon.

You will never play as the male character again.

>>28485254
im a fan of brendan and ethan, though i do wish the females would look less generic some times

>>28485318
go to bed choco

>>28485678
I always play the male character, their designs are just worse. Its not like the designs matter in game though outside of Gen 6/7 because they were just sprites and shit you saw for half a second at the beginning of battles.

>>28485254
Tie between OR/AS May and Brendan and Dawn and Lucas

>>28485254
I like the Ethan and Lucas designs best.
Hero and Nate are degenerate normalfag designs.

>>28485606
you can always call him Ash if you want.

>>28485754
have you ever seen a normal person? gen 2 ethan or gen 1 red is more normal than anybody.

>>28485254
Red and Platinum Dawn

best female: May and Hilda

Hilda has dat leg game and dat ass. I'd fuck her inna woods my nigga.

May is just qt.

Rosa and Hilda.

Red looks like a fag by today's standard. And LV80 Pikachu her derp

May, Dawn, Hilda, and Rosa 'cus dem delicious legs.

>>28485254
Red, Ethan, May, Dawn, Hilbert and Hilda.

Rosa and Hilbert

>>28485813
>Implying Red wasn't always a fag

Dawn and Serena for being good, skirt wearing girls. Leaf would be too, but she barely existed.

Red again in FR

Otherwise the girls for eternity, every single time

>>28485754
So the guy wearing a hoody and shorts and the guy wearing at t shirt and baggy jeans aren't normal fags? You really don't leave the house do you?

Not sure about Gen 7.(their names are Elio and Selene by the way)

Red and Leaf are the only true answers.

Who are the two cuties on the right?

Hilda > Dawn > Kris > Rosa > Lyra > May > Serena > Leaf

>>28487551
>Who are the two cuties on the right?
pokemon go trainers

>>28487587
Why do they literally look so much better than the main protagonists barring Red and Leaf?

Just by design (but then what other difference is there anyway)

Male: Lucas or Brendan

Female: Kris

The worst one's are Hilbert and Hilda. I've never understood /vp/'s boner for them. They look like an autistic nerd and a crackwhore respectively.

>>28487733
Hilbert is whatever but Hilda is pure and raw sex. Does that really need an explanation? she's young, lively and fun, she doesn't need to be a "classy" girl. that's for frigid bitches and christmas cakes.

I should post a pic additionally to convince everyone to be a Hildafag.

>>28485254
Hilbert and Hilda were the best designed imo. Though I do like Lucas and Dawn'/ Platinum design and Serena's design too.

I like both Reds and emerald Brendan and emerald May also Hilbert and Hilda as well as Rosa and last but not least Calem and Serena.

You mean Gold?

Ethan is in HG/SS not the original

Red (R/B) > Ethan (G/S) > Red (FR/LG) > Brendan (E) > Brendan (R/S) > Nate > all the others who cares

Hero/Heroine are good because you can customise them though.

Do the SunMoon pro tags not have official names yet? I thought they generally tell us the names early on

>>28490518
but you don't call Lucas Diamond either, now do you?

Because Ethan gave Hila the d.

in terms of achievement, I'd say Lucas/Dawn stopped the biggest threat, also, Barry has the strongest team out of any rival, right?

or was that outdone recently?

Male: Red and Ethan
Female: Rosa, Rosa and Rosa.

>>28485254
>Male
Design-wise, Ethan, Brendan, and Hilbert.
Personality-wise, just Ethan and Brendan. I wanna say Hilbert too, but he's just kinda there for doubles at the subway.
>Female
Design-wise, May (Emerald), Leaf, Hilda, and Rosa.
Personality-wise, May and Lyra, since they're the same as Brendan and Ethan.

None of them have really spectacular personalities, although I'll give bonus points to Red for being the final boss of Gen 2, that was cool as fuck. We should be able to fight the other protagonists some time, especially considering they're all the champion of their respective regions.

>>28487214
GO trainer also doesn't know how to level up his pokemon past their base abilities beyond evolving, and gets rid of his pokemon en masse if they're not strong enough for him.

>>28497353
Oh also I forgot to put (Emerald) for Brendan design-wise. The Emerald designs are just better. Though, then again, the ORAS designs also improve on them a lot, so consider both in their ORAS forms for the purpose of the list. Especially as far as their personality goes.

>>28493451
The GSC protag is Gold. He wasn't called Ethan until HGSS

why are people differentiating between R/B Red and FR/LG Red...they're literally the exact same person

>>28498173
even in HGSS he's technically Gold when he's the protagonist, and Ethan when he's the supporting character (i.e. Lyra as protagonist)

Best pair is Brendan and May.
Male:Ethan/Hilbert
Female: May/Hilda

They literally go from "Cool adventurer" to "Metro-hipsters over the years.

Kris and Hilda.
