It's literally confirmed not a sequel in actual news I really can't understand how retarded this board has gotten.

she looks about a million times cuter though. NuChicken-chan is actually waifu material.

>>32700635
It's because somehow half the people here don't know what a third version is even though GF has done them four (4) (cuatro) times.

>>32700625

Alright. So it's more like Platinum instead of B2/W2. So what? Platinum gets tons of praise on /vp/. Yet when GF decides to do something similar for SM, you all complain. Christ. The people on this board have become just as bad as the Sonic fandom. At least we didn't get mobile shit announced in the Direct.

>>32700692
I don't think OP was complaining about anything except idiots who don't know what a third version is.

No shit it's not a sequel, it's still not the same character.

>>32700692
But I didn't complain anon, I'm fine with a third version as long as it's good. The salty people still screaming that it's a sequel are getting on my nerves though because for some reason there's a majority of them even though you have to be retarded to believe that.

>>32700625
We really need official names for the gen 7 protagonists to further confirm this.

>>32700692
I'm all for SM getting a third version but I'd rather it be a single game instead of two.

>>32700635
i don't quite understand it either, but it seems very unhealthy to just reject reality like that. it's pretty common in switch owners as well thinking it is anything but a console

>>32700700
It's actually the other way around, anon.

You do know you can change clothes in Sun and Moon right?

Uh, who said it's a sequel. It's a parallel universe if anything. Actually, that would tie into Sun and Moon real well. I mean, they are called ULTRA Sun and ULTRA Moon.

So a third version. Like we've had four times now. Like OP is saying it will be.

>>32700765
The hair is different too, I dont think that hairstyle is in SM. Also, this is the canon appearance now, like how anime may changed to her Emerald look, that was a step backwards though.

Anon said to RS. Not to ORAS.

>>32701090
if it's the same cutscene why is the perspective different? keep your story straight

>>32700883
People need to stop using Gen 1 through Gen 4. Those are nearly a decade old. Gen 5 is where they set a precedent with a different MC. Does Mei and Hilda look alike. Yep. But they're clothes and hair style is completely different. So there. Also, Sun and Moon have 8 MC instead of two. X and Y have 6 MC instead of two. So we might get 10 MC in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

Well first off the SM boy's hair didn't completely change, just the girls.

Second, Dawn, Lucas, Brendan, and May all wear completely different outfits in E/Pt than in RS/DP. The only thing in common between them is their hats.

>>32701141
>3d
gee, do you think their sprites had the same face? or did one have one more dot than the other?

>>32701031

>you can only show me adding a fucking scarf

Are you blind? You realize Dawn's Plat outfit is completely different from her DP outfit? RS Brendan and Emerald Brendan have different outfits as well.

>>32701209

Hat still the same though. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon isn't wearing the chicken chan's hat. She not Chicken Chan. She a new character.

>>32701136
Because the camera is moving during the cutscene and the screenshots are from different frames, do you have brain damage or are you 10?

>>32701174
>

no you're a bullshit artist who uses sameface as concrete evidence and then constructs whatever he likes around it

the OP image is the only "completely different" example here. the rest are extremely similar, equivalent to a slight reimagining of the same design.

stay wrong.

>>32700723
The reason it's two games instead of one is because they're still trying to make that whole gen 7 is alternate dimensions thing fit in

>>32701309
the reason is they want money

>>32701330
thats the meta reason true enough, but it can be said for any gen due to the version split being a thing at all.

#NotMyChicken

>>32700625
It's a 3rd version split in two.

We still have Chicken in alternate universe mode.

>>32701360
Maybe it's a turkey?

>>32701330
Well I mean yeah if you had a company wouldn't you want money too?

>>32700625
I like Chicken Chan's new top.

>All this speculation stemming from the fact game freak decided to use the same model as a template but make it completely different to make it clear to all non-autists that it's not the same character but still allow them to recreate their old characters if they so choose

>>32701398
Yes but I wouldn't want my customers to hate me either

it would be a balance between making money and actually being able to be proud of my work

>>32701269
How the actual fuck is Platinum Dawn anything like DP Dawn besides wearing a short skirt? Emerald Brendan and RS May?

Calem is very visibly older.

>>32701544
yeah. people move, you know. it happens at the start of half the games nowadays. so who was living there before?

>>32700625

They even have the same exact bangs. Same length, same shape, same side.

>>32701108
There's reusing assets and then reusing an exact same cutscene frame for frame with the exact same setting.

Sequelfags are so far down in denial it's hilarious.

um, no my dude

Old one had rounder irises/ New one has more rectangular irises. GF may be Lazy but that IS a different girl

>>32701469
if you're going to try to compare the level of difference in the OP image to two imaginings of the same character, you're just a liar. the reason were having this conversation is because they're not comparable at all but you cling to them being the same because of muh face and muh house

Alright alright Shauna isn't a protagonist. Who fucking cares though, they still have the same fucking face.

Everything but the eyebrows are the same for Sun/Calem.

>>32701739

Their eye shapes are completely different

>>32701732
How about the fucking room they are in being the exact same, and the male MC walking around on Route 1 Alola, its the fucking same person in a different costume

holy fuck this has to be a troll how retarded has this board become?

>>32701763
who lived in the house before sun/moon moved there at the start of sm you faggot

>>32701763

Even BW2 had the protagonists living in different town than the BW ones.

This is the same board that thought Hawlucha was fake because they couldn't into perspective

>>32700978
Or maybe, just maybe, it's the same house a few years later, with different furniture and people. This makes much more sense then a shitty "other dimention" headcannon.

Maybe the new girl is a cousin camping in the first girl's room because she's never home anymore

>>32700723
Rooster-chan and Derek

>>32701782
b2w2 had far more development time. game freak is being lazy as fuck churning these out so their B team can start on dp remakes concurrently with gen 8

>>32701786

Yes a character that's identical to the SM protag just happened to move in to their old house and they happened to have the mostly the same exact furniture and they placed it in the same position as well.

>>32701786
>Or maybe, just maybe, it's the same house a few years later, with different furniture and people. This makes much more sen

Considering there is other Dimension, and this is called Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. We may possibly be playing in a different dimension.

>>32701837

tl note: identical means entirely different except muh face which definitely isn't recycled by lazy fucks

>>32701843
Holy shit stop spouting this stupid BS. Emerald is not a "different dimension" from RS, Platinum is not from DP, and this is not from SM. It's just a third version.

>>32701885
not every but many anime suffer from severe sameface. as do many games because you're expected to interpret different clothes and hair as a different character, not be an autists over model reuse

>>32700625

Jesus, it's quiet obvious that trainer customization will be available right before starting the game, both the protags have too much going on in their outfits for it to be official designs, they look more like they were customized by the player.

>>32701880
>Route 1 is filled with Buzzwoles and Guzzlords

>>32701905
in video games? yes, about half the time I do and the developers expect me to. depends on whether they want to piss off half their fanbase by completely changing the iconic look of an established character or not. how do you survive playing games where the same four faces are recycled without your autism flaring up?

every pokemon protagonist has their own look that is defined mostly by the general style of their clothes and by their hairstyle. you can't just come in and change may's hair or remove reds hat, they become different characters. you can only slightly tweak them. people can tell they're the same character, and it's not by the face

you want to know the reason they have the same face? because they're two customisable characters from the same generation with less than a year of development separating them. you honestly think a character with completely different hair and clothes is being presented as the same? no. it's a new character and they'll have new concept art and maybe there you can see your precious different face assuming sugimori's doesn't give them the same happy anime face as usual
