Even their sprites looked serious.

Do GF think that children can only be happy-go-lucky?

>>31284713
Leaf doesn't really look like she "means business" either, though.

But Leaf does not look like she means business.

NGL those two look pretty retarded
especially with those clothes ugh

No, not at all

The Japanese work too much as adults to be haopy, therefore the kids in game are retarded lyera happy since they haven't hit the brick wall of adulthood yet.
At least that's the cases for gems 1-4

This guy looks more like a trainer than Ethan or Lucas ever did.

>>31285063
Retcon Red too :^)

>>31284950
when did they redesign red? in fact why does all anime have to be round and smooth? just give the old square designs back

>>31285063
>Soon to be
Do you know something I don't, anon? Because otherwise, she had been retconned out of existence about 7 years ago.

>>31285156
Basically Red 2.0, right down to age and birthplace.

The sad thing about Nate and Rosa is that their designs are fine on their own but they had to follow up the 10/10 designs that were Hilbert and Hilda.

>>31284759
Not with those retard grins, they don't.

>>31285223
Because time moves on. Nobody does those types of designs anymore and Gamefreak centers their designs around what tends to be more popular at the time.

>>31285223
Because sugimori couldnt draw for shit back then and people like you still prefer the human characters looking like a bunch of depthless squares and triangles pasted together

Remember when Red looked like an edgy 9 year old and he actually looks fine now

Except Red and Leaf are actually 10 y/o children while gens 5-6 are supposed to be teenagers.
Not counting gen7 i think you got it mixed up

>>31284950

WHAT ARE THOSE

>>31285473

Jesus fucking Christ Nate who taught you how to dress? George Michaels?

>>31285769
This. To this day Hilbert and Hilda remain my favorite protag designs.

>>31284713
Red: Taking a video game too seriously: The Character
Leaf: Uhhhh, this is a girl?: The Character

>>31288392
But then Red can become a Super Saiyan
