    I usually play as the male because the girl hasn't had a good sprite since R/S. But now I'll probably get both and play as both.

    Well I picked the male protagonist in both versions for obvious reasons if I say so myself, that obvious reason being I'm a male myself. xD

    I've always played as the male protagonist in Pokémon games. This generation is no different.

  • Obviously playing as Touko. Maybe in my second run, I'll play as the guy protagonist (I keep forgetting his name). But I might end up playing as Touko more since I really love her.

  • I'll play the guy. Black was it? White's hair is just too freaky and i love Black's design.

    The guy is Hilbert and the girl is Hilda.
    Those are the official names that Game Freak gave them.

    I chose the girl because I don't like playing as a guy.
    I named her Hilda, the official name that Game Freak gave her.

    I chose to play as the male every time. Nothing against the female player character, but the male player character is quite possibly my favorite design out of all the player characters across the generations. So I pick him every time because I like the design. And now I also pick him every time because I can't picture playing the game as anyone else.

    I'm playing as Hilda THE FEMALE PROTAGONIST. >__> I can't stand the default names in this generation as I've stated multiple times, but I love her design. :D Plus, I am a girl and it just feels awkward for me to play as a dude, so... yeah.

  • I always play as my gender, as I find doing otherwise to be rather off-putting...
    But I definitely love the girl character this time around. Its refreshing to have a female trainer that doesn't dress like a puritan from the 17th century ;)

  • I dislike the male's appearance, so I play as Touko (No, I will always refuse to acknowledge her English name.). I mean, seriously, they seem never to get the male right. What's up with that?

  • I chose the male. :3 Reason being is because I wanted to name him after a character from YGO GX.

  • I'm going to play as both. I like to be mysterious. (Even though I'm a girl.)
    I don't like the protagonists English names, so I'll name myself... Akari (or Mistuki) in White. And Kohaku in Black.
