Who are you going to play as?

[Xerecies]

You get the chance to either play as a male or female in this game. Which do you choose and why?

 

[WingsofBliss]

I'm choosing female, because that's what I am. Haven't quite figured out if I want to go by my full name or my nickname...

 

[TrendyHipsta]

I'm playing as a male. His name is not going to be 'Hipsta' in Pokémon Sun and Moon though. I decided to call my character Tren the 20th anniversary shorten form to 'Trendy' that and I want it to sound like more of actual name in-game.

I want my character to have a bit of me and his own personality.

 

[CidHazard]

Male since I am male...

Probably name him something cool or cliche'd this time... Or since it's the anniversary 20th of R/B/G I'll use the first name I used... Grey... sounds dumb I know XD

Or I can just whimp out and name him Cid like I always do... *sigh*

 

[Attribule]

Male. I always choose my own gender if it's an option in games so I feel more like I'm the character.

 

[Kikaito plush]

I'm playing as the female

 

[Hermione Granger]

I'm playing as a female and already thought of the name I'm gonna use.

 

[blue]

Male for Moon then possibly female for Sun. I'm happy with the extensive character customization for these games, I just reaally don't like the designs of either protagonists standard design.

 

[Hikamaru]

I'm playing as the female protagonist like I always do, since I'm female myself. Also, I actually don't mind her hat because I think she's really cute.

 

[raxic_ex]

It's kinda odd for my choice as the starter I decide will affect which gender I choose, in my case: boy for Decidueye | girl for Primarina (not hate for Incineroar but... oh well)

So probably male for me since I'm a big fan of Decidueye right now while I like the cry of Primarina...

 

[Arjay]

Male, as that's what I am. But like in all previous games, on subsequent playthroughs I might choose the girl because sometimes it's nice to mix it up a bit. I nearly always call myself my real name unless I'm playing as the female protagonist, in which case I just choose a name that I like.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I always play male on my first run through of a generation. (or if I'm playing a remake)

If there's another set of games set in Alola I'll probably play as a female character.

 

[Knyte]

Male since I am male...

Probably name him something cool or cliche'd this time... Or since it's the anniversary 20th of R/B/G I'll use the first name I used... Grey... sounds dumb I know XD

Or I can just whimp out and name him Cid like I always do... *sigh*

Be proud of your name! Names can be pretty powerful! Don't ask me how, but trust me. Your name is yours!

I'm naming mine Knyte of course! Why? I'm male and I wanna be fashionable in game. And for a lot of reasons I will not place here. Haha When I get Sun, I'll name whatever default name the female gets! (Hopefully Selene!) I'm picking female because I'm using male in my main run. hopefully I don't take a while getting a new 3ds though (mine's broken so I gotta get a new one)

 

[Darkbirt]

I'm male, so I'm going with a male character. I hope at least that we can modify the character, because I find that the character in the demo we play with has a blow up face. I would prefer that we could play with Red or blue, they've got a cool design.

 

[Hikamaru]

It has been confirmed trainer customization is returning, and appears to have more options than what we had in X/Y.

 

[SightlessReality]

Female with my usual Selina/Selinis name. For Moon at least, undecided for Sun.

 

[TheKojo]

I will play as the melanin enriched male. Because it matches me.

 

[Sektor]

Ahahahaha. Ha. I think I might actually roll with the female protagonists this time around. I had both X & Y last time so I was able to be both, but I might only pick up one of them this time. I might Replay the game more than a few times, banking Pokémon as I go along restarting it.

 

[OuterTsuchinoko]

I'm playing as the female as I always do, I love the design and am one of the few who thinks the hat is great. I'll be naming my character Reyes which is my last name. I was thinking about name her Timotei, after that one shower scene in Lucky Star. It's kind of become a thing in my household so I thought that would be cool.

 

[RetroPokeman]

Like most others, I'll choose the character of my own gender. I guess it helps project yourself into the game a bit more.
