Let's talk Protagonists, the design of these seems criminally overlooked often.

Who is your favourite? Do you usually play as male or female? Do you like the redesigns of characters over remakes / sequels? Was Lyra a mistake? Why do some look late teens (Hilda, Serena) while others look 10? (Moon, Leaf) Why don't the new protags have canon names yet?

Personally I'll never forgive them for what they did to Brendan and May in OR:AS

Hilda / Hilbert a fucking best

No idea how they managed to make them looks so simple yet incredibly urban and also somewhat older. They really fit the theme Unova was going for. Hilbert seems like the closest thing we've had to another Red since literally ever.

>>30471205
Were you one of the retards that thought his hair was the hat?
>>
>>30471252
No

But they made his hair brown when it was black and also gave him the creepiest fucking thousand yard stare.

Colour scheme for both of them sucks too.
>>
>>30471205
we still don't know the knew MC names?

also, I literally can't decide between red/ethan/hilbert

Seriously though, will we ever get canon names for the Sun / Moon protags?

I don't even know what to call them. I use "Chicken-chan" and "The boy one" mostly.
>>
>>30471266
So you mean the did what they did with Red and change his hair color and you got pissy over it?
>>
>>30471313
Hell yeah I did
>>
I like gen 5 protagonists most. Mostly because they were older. Hilbert did justice to the "Older Red" theme
>>
>>30471205
I like kris better than lyra.

I just play whatever mc i like the design of better. Like in oras i played male, but in bw i played female.

Im just glad i can finally take my hat off.. but the male in sun has the shittiest hairstyles except the ceasar cut.. but thats too basic. So i just wear a hat anyway.

I hope next time they let us customize characters they give us better hairstyles and more colors. Npcs can have blue and green hair but i fucking cant?


If it was up to me I'd implement a system where when you defeat a trainer you have a chance at unlocking a piece of their style.

I play as female in all games except HG/SS. Lyra is trash.

>>30471205
Friendly reminder that...
>May, Leaf, Dawn, and Serena are objectively the best female protagonists
>The only people that care about Hilda and Rosa are Gen 5 contrarians
>Kris and Mario Girl are the worst female protagonists
>Chicken/Luna/Moon was a massive step back from Serena
>People that genuinely hate May's new design should take the nostalgia goggles off. Her Emerald outfit was easily the worst.

My Hilbert bros though Red will always have my respect. I really like Ethan after they updated his shitty clothes from Gold and Silver.

>>
>>30471430
Ethan is probably one of the only good redesigns in history

They turned him from an angry chubby manlet into an actual kid with colours and a smile

Friendly reminder to kill yourself. Hilda and Rosa are perfect. Serena is a shitty normie roastie

Best male = Hilbert
Best female = Platinum Dawn
Fight me
>>
>>30471205
>Who is your favourite?
GSC Gold/Ethan. Hilbert is a close second.

>Do you usually play as male or female?
Only if a female MC is canon (Gen 3 Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos).

>Do you like the redesigns of characters over remakes / sequels?
Only redesign I liked was Platinum Dawn, everything else is shit, especially Emerald redesigns.

>Was Lyra a mistake?
Yes. Their excuse was that GS didn't had a female MC even when HGSS use all the things introduced in Crystal.

>Why do some look late teens (Hilda, Serena) while others look 10? (Moon, Leaf)
Game Freak acknowloging that most Pokéfans are past 18.

>Why don't the new protags have canon names yet?
Erm... Gen 1 reference?

SM Male protag is I think named Elios or something in promo material. Can't remember what they called the female one.
>>
>>30471306
Isn't the male protagonist called Sun in the Sun/Moon demo?

Do people not consider that canon?
>>
>>30471781
So?

>>30471781
Nope, ORAS demo was called Orlando

Nate is easily my favorite, despite the ridiculous AF hair. I always prefer the protags that wore shorts, except for that goofy ass Capri wearing HGSS Ethan, that was bottom of the barrel character design. But yeah, Nate. I dunno, I just like the idea that he has this kick ass swimsuit underneath a comfy pair of shorts and that short sleeve jacket, and the sling bag he has looks like the type made for travelling, unlike Hilbert and Calem's flimsy ass bags.
As for redesigns, I accept most of them, except HGSS' protags. Ironically unlike ORAS, they got everything else right in that game(from gym leaders to important characters) but they completely botched up Ethan/Lyra. The art has no depth to it, the lighting is completely flat, and there is no redeeming quality at all to how they are drawn. Which is surprising, cause iirc its drawn by Ohmura, who is excelling in Character design and art these days, with Sun/Elio/Alola Boy being one of the better Male PCs for a good while.

Anyone else hating though the fact that from here on out the PC design will be getting more generic thanks to the customization feature? I mean ita good to have a player avatar, but I really wish they keep it multiplayer somehow, and let the PC be an actual character for once. Elio is pretty good, but really generic.

Doesn't Rosa also have a swimsuit?

Hilbert is the best looking protagonist.

I play as the canon choice AKA the male.

Yes, ORAS Brendan looks better than RSE Brendan.

Without a doubt.

Because that was most likely the design decision.

They do, it's Sun and Moon. At least for now it is.


Well OP, that's just your shit taste shining through because both Brendan and May have better designs in ORAS.

Nate a best

I roleplayed as him for like 3 years in a closed group, was cash writing about swimming and shit
>>
>>30472575
One would assume that she has a pink bikini on, yes. But I am indifferent to her design to be honest, gen 5 is actually my least favorite on the female side. Only gen were I really like the initial design and the remake or 3rd version design was gen 6, both Serena and ORAS May have some great qualities to how they are drawn, and what they are wearing. Especially May, lke the RSE bandanna being tied into a bow, the Emerald style bag, and so on. Platinum Dawn and Hilda are right below those two, and then there is no preference for any of the other female PCs, except maybe Kris. I dunno, not rally into the whole Waifu thing, its too creept considering the age, and whenever it comes to the male PCs, I tend to prefer their designs cause they fit more to the regions they are in. Stuff like Brendan and the way his pants tuck into the shoes cause of the Hoenn wildlife, Lucas' jacket being more fitting then Dawn's still bare thighs, Nate wearing a swimsuit underneath because there are more seaside areas in the games, Calem wearing a military french hat, and Brendan being tanned in ORAS. Thats another good thing about SM, both PCs actually fit the region for once.
>>
>>30472896
I think Nate and Rosa are both underrated. They really seem like the athletic type
>>
>>30471205
Played male up until Black 2 had a shitty male design and have switched to female since. Males tend to have issues with being Red clones except Brendan and maybe Lucas, so that helps

Chicken is so cute in-game
>>
>>30471205
i always felt that the female MC have better designs than the male ones.
>>
Hilbert looks the most relaxed after red, so thats pretty ebin, but its fucking red.

Can't wait for the next set of Generations eps

Came here to post this pretty much. Its just the hair that holds the design back for me. Still think they should have gone for something that made him resemble his mom more like rosa does.

Ruby/Sapphire Brendan is the worst protag design so far. It looks like an ace trainer design
>>
>>30471205
Brendan and May look great ingame though. The official art is just ass.

Nah, the white hair and bandanna was great. The windsock hat is a big step down.

If Nate didn't have those leggings, then he'd probably be my favourite male protag design. Rosa is still my favourite out of the females

Unova had some great trainer designs overall
>>
>>30471205
BUT WHAT TEAMS DO THEY HAVE?
>>
>>30471205
RBY/GS/BW and Sun/Moon have best male MC designs. Others look odd to me. I like all the female ones.
>>
