    I still think Lucas has the worst outfit of any character in any pokemon game. I mean...just look at the beret. This is why I always play as Dawn in DPPt... >_>

    Gold's original design was admittedly kinda silly (who wears a red hoodie with bright yellow shorts?), but his redesign comes a bit closer to feasibility. At least they made his pants black and gave them the semblance of long pants that have been rolled up...I still don't see why seeing his calves are absolutely necessary... >_<

    ...and don't dis a backwards baseball cap, it makes you look awesome. ^_^

    Well unlike you, we're not slaves to the world of fashion. Gold looks retro and cool. Besides its a remake hes going to look the same.

    i think the big hat would work if it was a bit smaller, soul had her hair worn down and the hat didn't have a stupid bow on the back of it. Couple that with jeans and a normal t-shirt and you have yourself a better looking soul.

    Now as for Gold, no, im not even gonna bother. he makes lucas look like gok wan (a fashion guru for those who dont know), but he's meant to be ten, so who cares.

    That is kind of strange. The standard for Pokemon Trainers is 10 y/o, but recently they have seemed older, perhaps 14-17 y/o. Why such a late start?

    I have to say that the male character's clothes definitely look better than the female's. Sure, I agree with you when you say that he's wearing a backwards hat, but the girl's outfit is what's really terrible in these versions. Seriously, what kind of girl her age wears overall shorts anymore? I mean, I like her hat...but I think SHE'S the fashion disaster.

    Oooh pooor you
    it must be so terrible to see Gold wear such dreadful clothes
    HOW DARE THEY
    I OUGHTA CALL THE FASHION POLICE

    its just so terrible!!11 >n<


    I think Gold has some mighty fine pixels to be honest ;o

    No love for Soul either i see
    I find those sexy overalls and that cream puff hat enchanting

    Now the only characters whose clothes i dislike are Kris's (just the colors though, ick)
    and Brendan, (whats with his hat D:)
    Though i don't really find Dawn's clothes appropriate for an adventure ._.

    I actually think Lucas is cute D:

    Red=cute
    Gold=adorable, not a fan of yellow shorts, but I like how he wears shorts instead of pants.
    Kris=meh not too crazy about the blue hair or bicycle shorts. (Wished she had a natural hair color when I first played it.)
    May=Okay, Better than Kris.
    Brendan=first outfit was weird, but the second one was better.
    Leaf=Not too bad, but the trainer sprite isn't as good as the artwork. The hat is weird. I wish she had a baseball cap like Red did.
    Red=Cute but I like the original better.
    Dawn (DP)=Fashionable, but I really want to remove that red scarf. It doesn't go.
    Dawn(Platinum)=It's better. Happy the socks and the scarf match better.
    Lucas (DP)=Looks like he could be Pearl's (the rival's) boyfriend.
    Lucas (Platinum)=Much better than DP's outfit, but I would still remove that hat.
    Gold=Best male protagonist ever. I love his shorts and I love his shoes and shirt.
    Soul=Has smoother hair than Kris. The overalls make her look like a painter. The hat is cute. I could do w/out the shoes, but it's not that bad. Like the fact that she isn't wearing a Pokeball logo and the fact that her shirt is similar to Gold's old shirt. Appears to be the first female protagonist with brown eyes.

    From the black trim on the socks and up, Soul's outfit isn't that bad.

    The male protagonist is a fashion disaster


    I like Gold's new look. He's cute. :)
     

    the bitter end.

    Okay Ms. I-Want-To-Show-Off-That-I-Have-More-Fashion-Sense-Than-Everyone-Here, let's explain some stuff.

    Firstly, Dunsparce is right. Japanese have a different Fashion-sense. Secondly, Sugimori probably wasn't trying to cater to the whims of self-proclaimed teenage fashion divas when he was making this guy. His standard was probably a bit lower than your fashion-quota. ;]

    Teehee, that reminded me of the Young Trainers who are for some reason obsessed with shorts. xD

    I don't give a rat's hat about fashion, so I don't mind either Gold or Soul's outfits-or any of the character's outfits for that matter. But I'll admit, Brendan has a pretty weird hat, and Dawn seems obsessed with skirts.

    I thought the HGSS girl was fashion challenged; she's wearing knee high socks, overalls, and a huge hat. I don't know any little girls wearing something like that (more like some sparkly Hannah Montana shirt and skirt lol). Dawn and Cynthia are nice; no comment on Lucas as I forgot his design.

    I think Gold is the smexiest guy. He's 10 years old so he's gonna be a little boy with a backwards sports cap.. I wouldn't want him in short shorts either.

    Since when are Pokemon trainers/fans socially acceptable, honestly?

    I don't know about you but, I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!

    Guys, are you seriously saying that you'd go outside today wearing a backwards-facing baseball cap?

    I wouldn't, because 90's fashion is not cool. Seriously, a retro look is fine (which is why I like Lucas), but 90's fashion hasn't yet become retro, and I doubt it ever will because it lacks any semblance of charm. It was a terrible decade for fashion, from which we've only recently recovered.

    Of course, this is just my opinion.

    I would. I have. Nobody complained.

    Now wearing your hat backwards is good since the rim doesn't get in your way. The only time it does when you are driving then you have to take the hat off.

    Still as I said before, only cool people wear their hats backwards. That is how you know they were cool.

    Also remember, Gold's design was based on what was it at the time. Wearing your hat backwards was it and still it now. THey had to redesign him without getting rid of his spirit. Wearing his hat backwards is his spirit! If you get rid of of his hat being backwards then you lose Gold.

    I thought it was a bandanna. How else did we know he had white hair...?
    the only objections I've really had were Dawn wearing a skirt in Plat, the odd hat for Soul, and all the square hats in Gen1 (brace for impact)
    I really don't like Gold's pants, but meh.

    Eh, I really don't care. I don't think Gold's outfit is that bad; it seems to be in the norm compared to other characters' outfits. Then again, don't the majority of the characters in Pokemon wear really far-out outfits?
