    I adore the style of the new characters and that they're older, but seriously, Hilbert and Hilda? They have gotta be the worst names yet =/

    Call me insane, but the names don't phase me. I actually like Hilda. Girl can own up to her name. Like Helga from Hey Arnold. You just gotta go with the flow. Hilbert on the other hand is lke this super nerdy name, that is sort of cute in an awkward way. Though I think nerds are cute anyway. :T

    I'm also okay with their designs, except for the daisy dukes. But that's because I can't pull them off as well as she can. But her shorts are a tad too small. what's next? Is our protaganist girl going to be wearing a bikini? I understand she is older, but older girls are still modest when it comes to clothing. (until you get to the adult escorts, then they ruin our good image)

    I like Hilbert and Hilda. They are cool characters. I like how they look! They look awesome. I like their names too! They are different and cool names. I really like these two.

    I don't really like the names of the two protagonists, though I do love the design of the female. :) Hers looks so much better than the other designs of female protagonists, I guess she just seems most realistic to me, and she looks like she's full of life! I also like how you get dialogue of what she's actually thinking, too. As for the male, don't really like his design, looks kinda awkward.

    Their designs are the best yet - MUCH better than the other generations. Although their names sound like they should belong in another century - a really old one. Unova is supposed to be high tech and new {or at least that's how they show it} and these don't mirror that at all! It doesn't match. :/

    Did Game Freak HONESTLY think fans would like these names? Ugh.

    Hilbert and Hilda are pretty nice names. I call them Blair and Whitlea in fan fiction. I predicted the boy's name to be "Blake" and the girl's name as "Fiona". Both mean Black and White, obviously.

    I like the names, I think they're just fine. And I don't really see what the big deal is if you don't like them, you only have to see them in the battle subway, if at all.

    I like the boy's design, I suppose, it looks practical enough. I loathe the girl's design. Freaking pink again, and stupid shorts. I generally don't like the girl's design too much anyway, but this is the first time I've hated it. I started one of my copies with the girl thinking I'd get used to it like I have with the others, and the overworld sprite isn't so bad, but the way you see the trainer from behind for each battle.. I would have to stare at those stupid shorts so much... I restarted with the boy.

    Not a fan of the names or the male character design. (mullets aren't very fun) But, I do enjoy the female design.

    Well you can name them anything you want anyway so it doesn't matter to me.

    My name isn't Hilda! Ewww!

    Why didn't they just call me White? Or Touko? Seriously....Hilda and Hilbert are the most terrible names in the history of Pokemon.

    I think they have okay names... not the best but okay...
    I like their design though but I think they could have made them more older looking than they did (the look like they are 13...or maybe they are...I don't believe their official age has been said but I imagine them being 15...)

    I love their designs but hate their names. I just call the male Black and the female White. (Their names in the Manga if I remember correctly.)

    They're my favorite protagonists in terms of design and I love their Japanese names, but the English names are terrible (the worst out of all the games so far I think)
    I do like that they're designed to be older than 10 years old though

    and I find it funny that Black is the only male protagonist not to have black hair xD

    So, our heros for BW are Hilbert and Hilda.

    Here's a nice list I recently conjured:

    Spoiler:

    Click to expand...

    All names on the list above is better than Hilda and Hilbert.

    As for the designs, I like both... except for Touya's shoes. XD
