So yeah that is all the differences between the 2. What do you think?

New is simply better.
Dont you agree?
But the Old's pants are better....

Volkner's Apprentice May 12th, 2009 10:39 AM

I like the old sprite's shoes, haha. Otherwise, I'm all for revamped graphics and detail.

Artemis May 12th, 2009 10:39 AM

I think they made a pretty nice improvement with Gold. Comparing the two, I thought it was a bad idea with some of the changes, but actually seeing both of them visually, they made the newer Gold a lot better. The yes are also a new improvment by the way.

The old has more darker and solid eyes.
The new has a more lightened eyes with a more eralistic look. The improvements between the two are pretty good, and I think they mde some nice character design choices on this remake.

Beco May 12th, 2009 10:45 AM

I really like the new design, although the shorts shoudln't have tightened at the knees. Still, this design is one of the best ever, only thing beating it is Fr/Lg's Red, and that's just very closely.

Poliwagged May 12th, 2009 10:47 AM

I like how they gave him a lighthearted makeover (the smugginess should be left to Silver), but kept his overall look similar.

Artemis May 12th, 2009 10:51 AM

I agree they should have kept the pants more similar to the original Gold, but meh, it doesn't bother me too much.

I think he actually resembles Lucas a lot too, so if they were to switch clothes into Lucas', then they might appear a bit like brothers or twins.

Wish May 12th, 2009 10:56 AM

Gold looks much better in my opinion. :3

It appears they slimmed down his design so he looks less bulky and cluttered. XD

And Yes, I do appreciate the lighthearted look of the newer Gold.

The only complaint I do have are those shorts, however, I can let that slide seeing that the newer design is more appealing than the older one. I guess that what happens when you have remakes. XD

"Shadow Lugia" May 12th, 2009 11:03 AM

The redesign is fine with me.

Mitchman May 12th, 2009 11:05 AM

I wanna know how gold and lucas look the same.

Seriously what the hell? Nothing alike

Poliwagged May 12th, 2009 11:10 AM

Gold > Lucas


Lucas is doing some kind of two finger gangster pose, but Gold's like "Get your pokeballs out, we're going to battle *insert grin*"

Artemis May 12th, 2009 11:14 AM

I'm not talking about the position or clothing if that is what you mean. You have to look more at the structural design of the two, and more outside the box. They have the same face shape, same eye and eye color. Their both about equally slender, and tall-ish. And if you want to go to how they stand, then their feet are both positioned about the same along with their arms. All you have to do is bend Gold's arms like how it is in Lucas and there wouldn't be too much of a difference in that field.

Virtual Chatot May 12th, 2009 11:22 AM

I like the new Gold personally :3

Mitchman May 12th, 2009 11:28 AM

Personally he could have done without the collar. Then this would be perfect. Otherwise its great.

natedogg May 12th, 2009 11:32 AM

i like the new one better just more trendy i guess lol

That white collar is the staple of Gold's sweatshirt. Can't not have it. :(

I meant the fancy collar. That could be left out but no. They just love overkill.

kabigon May 12th, 2009 11:42 AM

Why did they change his pants? They look worse now imo. Everything else is fairly similar to the original except the pants. Well at least they didnt decide to just use another character like what they did with the girl.

Virtual Chatot May 12th, 2009 11:44 AM

Maybe they're trying to not make him look like a member of the Communist Youth?


...XD

Artemis May 12th, 2009 11:46 AM

The white collar isn't much an overkill for Gold. It makes the image more finished, besides without the collar, the top f his shirt or hoodie might have looked a bit to simple with the feel of something missing.

I personally prefer old Gold. Its the body type that bothers me. Godl went from being relatively stocky and muscular to being thin and weak. That doesnt seem Goldish. Gold is always the one getting into mischeif and being athletic. no reason he should be scrawny. I ahve a better comparison picture (Its in attachement form)

I meant the new one the red triangle one. Way too tacky imo but what can we do. Also now thats a good photo for comparison thanks dude!

Artemis May 12th, 2009 12:05 PM

Comparing the new pics, I agree that they should have kept the more muscular Gold. I mean have you seen the different leg size comparison?

No, Todoroki doesn't mean the white collar, He means the one right under it.

AdamDuffield May 12th, 2009 12:06 PM

I actually think the new design looks older IMO =p
