Really this still fucking bothers me This is fucking white hair

My thing is that I don't really give a shit about official art, and based on the in-game sprite, it was obviously hair. So it's hair forever now.

The character designer himself said it was a hat, shut the fuck up.

Also way to use an image so small you can't see the sideburns.

His fucking backsprite in battle shows his hair retard

>>32986691
I mean I already didn't like the design, but the fact that he's wearing what is probably the dumbest hat ever conceived makes me want to throw a Hoenn game out the window. May is the only real option that gen.

Who the fuck though ti t was a beanie as a kid
literally everyone I knew thought it was white hair

>>32986765
Literally everyone I knew thought it was a fucking hat you stupid goddamn moron.

>>32986691

You can clearly see his brown hair in the back sprite.

>>32986783

Years before ORAS, Sugimori confirmed the white part was a hat. Fuck off.

Literally everyone not even thought we KNEW it was white hair and he's cooler that way so I'm still sticking with that. Shot don't look like a hat, idgaf if it is a hat. White hair forever, perfect hair forever

I can't say I hate the design choice, but I was kinda disappointed.

This
before we got shit like oras and sugimori everyone fucking thought it was ahir not a hat, so thats the way it'll stay
new fags on /vp/ can argue its a beanie all they want, it doesnt make sense to be a hat

How literally everyone saw it before the internet

>>32986807
Only retards thought it was hair because retards aren't smart enough to realize obvious truths.

i never really thought that hard about it since i played as may anyways,

>>32986796
He's the only remake protagonist design that's an improvement, it best captures the intended bicyclist look and also fits the summerly tone of Hoenn. RS Brendan works too, he captures the look fairly well and has a better color scheme, though the full sweats aren't as fitting for Hoenn itself. Perfection would be ORAS Brendan with RS Brendan's color scheme. Maybe give him the RS gloves and hat, too.

Emerald's is the absolute worst. Skin is outright porcelain white, and fucking shorts over slacks. The new top is cool, but that's it.

>>32986930
What's wrong with Red's redesign?

>>32986832
That's a damn nice ahoge.

Just for a moment, let's set aside the whole "wrong or right" thing.
Can we all just agree that it is a really, really fucking stupid looking hat? Like a absolutely, pants on head retarded type of hat? Like, if you were to see someone walking down the street in it, you'd probably run them down in a car sort of stupid?

It's not outright bad, but I like the simpler RGB design of his clothes more, and the way his bangs at the front aren't completely hidden in his hat. The jacket being open also allows for a much more dynamic look.

>>32986956
It's also just as stupid of a hairstyle.

I guess if you're used to complete nonsense hair like Yugi's from Yu-Gi-Oh then it might look normal, but no everyone else it only makes sense as a hat.

>growing up everyone say it was a fucking hair and headband
Not everyone was in special ed, faggot.

>we thought it was hair when we were 8, therefore it's hair

>>32987048
It would at least kind of make sense as a hair style. Hats shouldn't spike like that, it looks super stupid.

How new are you? Years ago there was always threads debating if it was hat or hair, and majority of people usually said hat.

Just proves what everyone already knew, girl avartars on pokémon are made by pedophiles for pedophiles

Neither Norman nor Birch have white hair, why would their kids have it?

>>32987514
I like it. Maybe keep the ORAS eye and hair color, but otherwise it's perfect.

Make the "hat" plainly white hair and a headband and you'll have a solid design.

>>32987672
Dyed or Amino. Also white hair genes tend to skip quite a few generations and are very rare

>before the internet
Yes, because Gen 3 definitely released before the mid to late 90's to before the internet.

Didn't much use the internet until Gen 4 because my family were a bunch of poorfags growing up but even still I knew it wasn't hair.

From seeing his back sprite and having watched a shit load of anime I didn't think it was a "hat" but more of a cloth covering held in place by the bandana, like pic related but still.

Don't lump all of us in with your stupidity, thanks.

>>32987355
They said it two other ways before they arrived on the obvious from the start correct pronunciation in the movies.

Have to say though, it's hilarious to see idiots still refuse to call it ar-kay-us when they specifically called the ability RKS system in English. They literally can't make it any clearer since no one pronounces the letter "k" as "see".

This isn't an issue because in RSEORAS you move to Hoenn when you start playing. You haven't lived there all your life.

>>32988321
This proves May is canon in ORAS. Brendan is tan and she isn't

>>32988409
Either that or Brendan was more active back in wherever the fuck he came from. Or Gamefreak is retarded which is probably the more likely option.

Some say /vp/ is still debating about Brendan's hat even to this day

@Pokemon on Twitter posted this a few months ago. Shows what they chose as the default protags and their <official> names.

Only core games, remakes/third versions/sequels are not included.

Gen 1: Red
Gen 2: Gold (no Kris, she's from Crystal after all)
Gen 3: May
Gen 4: Dawn (No HGSS, it's a remake)
Gen 5: Hilbert (No Nate/Rosa since not a core gen 5 game)
Gen 6: Calem (No ORAS, it's a remake)
Gen 7: ??? (Conveniently absent)

>>32988448
I wonder why they choose the girls from gen 3 and 4 or if it was just a coinflip for the relevant games.

>>32988448
No surprise here.

Gen 3 anime has May as the child of Norman.
Gen 4 anime has Dawn with the PC mom from the games.

Gen 5 had Iris, kek.

Gen 6 had Serena, but she's useless in both the anime and game now. Game Freak regrets making her, kek

>>32987236
Hair doesn't spike like that either and doesn't look like a solid mass like someone is squeezing toothpaste out of your head.

>>32987707
Why would you say that while posting an image in which it's clearly a hat?
