    they not gonna have custom characters in the remakes?

    makes sense to have brendan/may as the options, but can you change their clothes/hair?

    Hasn't been confirmed yet, so right now it's up for speculation! In fact, there's a thread about it here where you can discuss character customization and wardrobe. I hope it does get added in, because it would be fun to dress May up in different outfits, and see what Brendan would look like without his signature hat!

    • Brenden looks...odd now. I don't know what it is exactly, but something about him. Maybe it's that we can see his sideburns now? I guess they wanted to stamp out the misconception that his hat is his hair.

    I guess I'll play as Brenden, since May looks really awkward with that hair. As long as they don't pull a X/Y and give me less options for clothes since I'm a boy.

    • I'm thinking about choosing to start as May since I like her design better and my current file in Y is a boy. Not a definite answer yet. I have a feeling it will depend on if the character customization feature comes back.

    I'll be using Brendan on one and May on the other, as I have been doing since DPPt (except for HGSS).

    • I usually play the male character, unless upon getting into the game the sprite looks bad, but I'm not too worried for OR/AS. I will be playing as Brendan!

    • On this occasion I could be either a boy OR a girl lol as they're both two of my favourite protagonists :) I'll probably start things off with May as she's my real gender and it'll make it more realistic but I hope to have a playthrough as Brendan as well at some point :)

    I am probably going to end up choosing Brendan of the two.

    May is really adorable though, especially with her redesign.. but I think naturally I feel more comfortable choosing the male character. It just sits a little better with me, ya know? Haven't been feeling particularly girly as of late. Also dat tan. :B

    • I honestly don't know, I used Brendan in Sapphire, and I am getting Alpha Sapphire. I've never chosen the female counterpart, maybe I'll decide later on this year.

    • Both, haha. I'll play as Brendan in Sapphire and as May in Ruby. I really hope customization makes a return because I'm not very fond of the new wetsuit like style of the clothes. Although it will probably grow on me after a while.

    • I always choose my actual gender, so I'll be female as per usual. I tried playing as Lucas once in DPPt and I thoroughly regretted it :\ Blargh. Sprite was awful.

    I don't mind Gold in HGSS, though :) but I still chose Lyra's sprite lol

    Since Gen III, I've always played through my first game as a female with my own name, and the other game as a boy with whatever name I think of (usually the default character name, but not always).

    • I've played the boy before in the original RSE; now I'm planning to play as the girl, but because I can't pick Torchic due to being uber, I dunno if I should play as the boy again.

    • I'm not sure! D: Emerald Brendan is my favorite designed male protagonist, yet ORAS Brendan doesn't impress me, at least in his default outfit. I want to see how Brendan will look after customization--not to mention have an idea if boys have more customization options this time around--before making the call.

    I typically play as the guy, but I can see why people would prefer to play as May than Brendan and his silly white hat (or hair as I used to think as a kid). Brendan does look a lot better here than he did in Ruby/Sapphire so I will be playing as him. I always found it weird how Hoenn was such a bright tropical beachy sort of place, but Brendan looked like he was dressed for skiing.
