Kris or Soul?
I wanted to see how many of you like Kris better and how many of you like Soul better.
For those who don't know, Soul is the female playable character of HeartGold and SoulSilver, named by the people of Bulbapedia. I personally like Kris better because she, like May, look tomboyish, which is something I personally like. X3 And also because of her blue hair... I like blue. X3 <3 Soul, on the other hand, dressed the worst out of all the female playable characters in my opinion. Just look at her, she's the female teen version of Mario. She also kinda look like a Kingdom Hearts character. I rather prefer to have any other existing female playable characters. Kris and May for their tomboyishness and Leaf and Dawn for the way they dress (mainly because of their short skirts XD <3). |
I picked both, as I don't really care about either.

Personally I like her, she's different from all the other girls and to me she fits the Johto theme. Her style is sort of country and well, Johto reminds me of the county (a lot of small towns then one huge city with a radio tower) so yeah. |
I like Kris but I don't dislike Soul either.

Quote:
As for the poll, I like both... No preference at the moment. |
Kris, but only in the nostalgic sense...
|
Kris all the way
Soul seems too chilish to me |
Soul. That's why she is in my avatar. If you hate her, then you don't like my avatar. :( Soul isn't the first Pokemon trainer to wear overalls ya know. Birdcatchers in GSC wore them, as well as those two special characters made for wifi plaza. It looked cute on all of them. Overalls may not be so great on an actual person, but I give Game Freak props for making the girl wear something the other female playable characters haven't worn. It's perfect for her region. She has to go to Ice Cave and other places of the sort. She needs long sleeves. That's probably why she also has long socks. The season this game represents is fall, so that's why she's covered up like that. She reminds me of a combo between Misty and Whitney, but brunette version. I don't want to play as someone with blue hair again. I would like to play as a character that resembles me for once. (Leaf was the closest to that.) If the new girl wore her hair down, I'm sure it would be almost the same length or longer than Dawn's hair, which is close to my hair length. I actually like the hat.

I like Kris better and I kinda wish they'd used her instead of Soul...in my opinion, Soul appears to be less of a pokemon trainer, and more of a pokemon trainer's little sister, if you get what I mean. The only thing I like about the character design for Soul is the hat--it's pretty cute.
I still miss Kris, though. |
Both. As long as they're both girls me to play as, I don't care.
Honestly I don't get this "NOOOO KRIS IZ BETTER DEN SOUL" hate. |
I like Kris more, because she wasn't designed to appeal to the pedophiles.
|
dawn is better than them all.
muahah >.< |
I like them both :) I really dont care, they both are nice.
|
Quote:
I prefer Kris, but only because I prefer the more anime style of her, with her Blue hair and so on. |
I don't mind either of them. They both are cute and I think putting Soul was good idea. It'd be boring to play still as same characters
|
Quote:
|
I didn't mean male characters :D
They're good as they are :) |
Both are OK, but Leaf is still better, if I'd choose between female characters ^_^
|
I care a lot, I dont like Soul, she looks very weird
:t354:TG |
Kris and no one else.
soul looks like a cowgirl and not like a trainer ~.~ |
Quote:
I guess that there are actually people born in the Pokémon universe that are Cowgirls... And Soul happens to be one of them. Johto and Sinnoh both have a lot of farms, so it makes sense. Atleast we should be happy they didn't give Dawn farmin' clothes in Platinum ^_^ |
I know I'm gonna take a hit in reputation for this, but here's the God's-honest truth about the issue...
Despite them both being ten, Kris is clearly more well-developed and sexier than Soul. People favor Kris because she has boobies. >_> |
Where can I find picture of them?

However, I prefer Kris' official artwork to Soul's, but I prefer Soul's sprite- though my opinion may be altered if I were to see what a 4th gen Kris sprite would look like. Because Soul's is very cute. ;w; |
I have no problem admitting that I much prefer Soul, she's just a breath of fresh air and makes the game all that more exciting and new. Something about kris always seemed off to me, like she didn't really match gold or her position as heroine, like her outfit having too many colours...
|
Kris is better than Kris.
And a lot better. |

*immediately votes Kris* She was much cooler, and especially with Marina in the anime, it seems that the view on Kris makes her more popular.
|
I'm guessing all you Kris fans hate my avatar, don't you? Why do all of you hate this new girl? Is it because she's not your favorite character, Kris? Pretend Kris never existed, would you still hate this new character? Hating someone for not looking the way you want them to look is a little ridiculous, don't you think? This new girl actually looks age appropriate. I honestly don't think they made her look like Mario on purpose. Her shirt was made red to match Gold's. They were probably thinking of just giving her shorts, but the shirt looked a little plain, so they made the shorts into overalls. In wifi plaza, the boy and girl trainers wear overalls and it looks cute on them. Okay, so the artwork isn't perfect. Sometimes the artwork looks gorgeous and the sprite looks awful. We know the hat isn't that big on her overworld sprite. If we're going to make a good decision, I think we should wait until we see the back sprite and the battle sprite.
|
Soul and Kris are even with me. I still don't see anything special about Soul, but I've never liked Kris because of how serious she is in the manga. There should be a neither option up there, becaues I don't care for either. I'll probably end up playing as Gold anyway.
But if I have to pick, I do love my nostalgia, so Kris gets my vote here. |

Well I thought Kris was pretty cool, but iunno.
i dont really prefer one over another. i would be happy to play as either, although Soul looks rather interesting as a sprite, even though her artwork isnt too great. |
Soul. Even if her outfit looks like Mario's, she's still cute. And I don't understand the Soul hate. It takes so much less energy to calmly dislike the design of Soul while still preferring Kris than to go on a hating spree.
But I don't know. I never got as attached to Kris as some did, apparently. And I really do doubt that Game Freak has abandoned Kris like some think they have. :/ |
SOUL SOUL SOUL FTW!!! oh yeah lol
|
Kris and Soul are pretty much even with me. I love Kris because of nostalgia, and Soul's sprite really doesn't look that bad. (despite the horrible artwork) I really didn't like Soul at the beginning, but she's grown on me a little bit.
|
.Nostalgia, Smishtalgia. Yeah, I know that you grew up playing as Kris in the originals, but things change people! Soul is a breathe of fresh air for the pokemon games because she modernizes the female player. Kris on the other hand was just another trainer you could choose who had strange bluish hair and an ugly outfit. I really think that Soul will give some "soul" for the new games.

Out of all the female characters, Kris was the one I liked least. Honestly, if you Kris fans don't like the new girl, either don't play as her or don't buy the game, and give up Pokemon. I have a headache because of you Kris fans, so thanks. I'm trying to understand how you people think the new girl is ugly. Picture the girl from the Pokemon Sunday show wearing Soul's outfit and wearing pigtails. That's how it would look. I don't see the socks as real socks, I see them more as knee highs with the same texture as stockings/tights. Besides, I thought people actually LIKED Mario. I also picture this new character in a game such as SSMB. |
Soul i have no idea why i just think she is better
|
GymLeaderLily,
You. Are. Genius. Absolutely Positively 100% Agree. and thank you so much for the rep :D hehehehehe first rep ever!! |
I like them both equally. Although I do like Kris's blue hair alot<3
|
^Your sig/avi disturbs me.
Anyways, I like them both. Kris was cool when she first came out and I still like her, but "Soul" (though I don't think that'll end up being her name) isn't as bad as people say. I actually think she's kind of cute. I'd be happy to play as either one. |

Ahem.. Looks like I got a little angry. I just don't hate soul and many others too don't hate her like me! So stop saying all that stuff about Kris fans. We just were hoping that she gets a cameo and nothing else. So no need to make it an argument and dividing the community on the basis of Kris and Soul fans! (I know that some people may bad rep me for this one but I just needed to say this!) EDIT: I got -ve rep for this one. But I really don't mind it. This may be a little too shouty but this type of message is written in this way only. If you want to give me more -ve rep then go ahead and give it. I really don't care coz I know that I have not made any mistake here. If I would have made any mistake then I would have been concerned about the -rep and all that. I have got -ve rep previously too but I knew that I had done something wrong those times. But not now. So go ahead and give me -999 rep for this one, I am not concerned. |
Well, if I would have posted here when I first saw the new female character, I'd say she's horrible. When I posted here yesterday, I had grew, and realized that she was on the same level than Kris, and didn't really care.
Now... I just remembered that I didn't even like Kris in Crystal... :cer_eek: And so... I happen to think Soul is actually better in every way. Sorry, this is my opinion. Live with it. I don't hate Kris Fans, I don't even hate Pokémon Anime-Fans, even though it sucks (you have to admit, PokéSpe is better). As a matter of fact, I just gave Crusher 1 good rep. Take this the way you want. I can't even remember the very reason I posted here now, I guess this is turnin' into a... Peace-makin' post. And if you like it or not, it's up to you. Kris-Fans. Look at soul and say one good thing about her. Soul-Fans. Take a look at Kris and do the same. (If I actually get you to do this, then I'm impressed, Roflmao) And people who like both/doesn't care. Give yourselves a hug. Personally I think Soul is better RIGHT NOW, but kris was a good new thing when Crystal came out, made a lot of more girls play Pokémon (I think). That was my good thing. *But Leaf is still better.* |
Kris was first female playable-character,and I loved to play with her..Oh good ol' times..
KRIS! |
Quote:
OK, I actually liked Kris's clothes. I swear I could put her outfit together from my closet in a different color scheme and wear it if I wanted. But I hated the color scheme so effing much (red/yellow). It was a little more bearable in the anime (pink/purple). "Soul" gets my vote. I'm a fan of overalls. I wore overalls religiously when I was a little girl, there's my bit of admitted hypocritical nostalgia. I wear my white cabbie hat more than any other of my hats. I have brown hair and brown eyes. Soul actually looks like me, so I can relate to her better. And have you seen the art of her? I don't mean the first one, I mean all the others. There's like three or four of them and she looks frikin adorable (I'm taking her hoooome~)! It's alright if people don't like her because everyone has opinions. What grinds my gears is people blindly saying Kris is better because of sheer nostalgia. I didn't see anybody gushing over Kris before Soul came along. If people took off the rose-tinted glasses for about 10 seconds they would see that there's really nothing to whine about. There's a female playable character with a different color scheme and clothes, that in my opinion, actually look less jailbait than Kris's. Why? Kris's clothes are skin-tight. You can see everything. "Soul" has short overalls, but she's wearing long socks to cover her legs. She's exposing nothing that doesn't need to be, which fits with Johto's Fall theme. One final note. Why do people whine about Soul's hat? Kris is wearing a yarmulke, in case you haven't noticed. A yarmulke. That's the one thing I never liked about Kris. Everything else is fine, but Soul is my personal preference. tl;dr version: Soul >>>> Kris |

I prefer Soul. Kris looks a little, I don't know, not right.
But I prefer the name Kris to Soul :/ |
For me:
Kris > Blue/Leaf > May ≈ Soul > Dawn Kris was not only the first, but to me at least, the most tomboyish. On a completely unrelated note, she had the cutest heroinexrival ship. Next is Blue/Leaf. I liked her speculated appearance outfit more that the FRLG one.http://www.sailorteam.com/fakecard/starters/rgb.jpg I have May and Soul on equal, because... yeah. I'm actually okay with Soul. I like May's design/outfit, but I hate her game so she's about tied with the girl whose outfit I deem mediocre, but "replaced" my favorite. Dawn is last because I just plain dislike the outfit she was given. Completly impractical. I hope no one ever wheres that while adventuring. I'm okay with DPPt, though. Better that RSE anyways. I still think of Soul as a heavily redesigned Kris. I just wish it hadn't been such a drastic change. |

I never played as Kris.
So I most likely wont play as Soul either. Im just glad Gold is in there. :p |
I prefer Kris mostly because Silver was the first Pokemon game I ever had. So it holds a special place in my memories.
Also, I like Kris' design better. |
Quote:
Kris was indeed the first, but I don't think she looked too great. Soul looks amazing. That is what I think. |
Honestly, I live Crys way better, but I think Soul is like Leaf, and is just a new version of Crystal
|
Kris had a cute sprite. The blue hair was lovely on her. (Blue is my favorite color.) She was the first girl I've played as in a video game. If there was a Crystal only remake, I'd like to play as her again.
Spoiler:
|
They're both great.
I can't compare them because they are two completely different people. I like both their outfits, hair, and such. |
I put both simply because I don't care about either.
|
Honestly, I... I think they're both on the ugly side. Dx As much as I enjoy playing as female characters, Soul is just... Ick. I just really don't like either of their designs. :/ In fact I may even just play as a guy @[email protected]; Of course I said that when D/P came out and still played as a girl, but... I just don't like either of them. Thought Kris was ugly when Crystal came out, and the new girl, Soul, doesn't really strike my fancy either. :p
|
Well, personally, they are both cute, amazing and beautiful!
Crystal = Very Cute Soul = Super Cute |
I don't.. Care, honestly. I'm just glad I get to play a girl. Besides, I never got to play Crystal because it was my brother's game, so I don't really have any nostalgic feelings about her.
|
Kris was in crystal only people, puls her name comes from the manga...
Soul is like Leaf, who is in FR/LG because Red/Blue/Green did not have a female charcter... Cris was in Crystal, not gold and silver so thats why they made Soul |
Either one could have been in this game and I'd be fine with it. Honestly, I'm glad they didn't make it so you could only play as Gold. I'm glad we have the option of playing as a girl, and I will play as Soul.
|
Soul
That cream puff hat, and those sexy mario overalls are such a turn on /not really but all joking aside I prefer the cutie soul over Kris, im a sucker for cute silly things so yeah... and kris's hair is so pointy at the ends D8 it could be DANGEROUS! Kris has a nice outfit, the colors are TERRIBLE though D8 i prefered, anime!Marina's colors, i never played crystal version, so forgive me, i dont have the feelings of nostalgia for her, the first female for me was May >3< anyways Soul gets my vote all the way i love that cream puff hat Shes just, SO CUTE DDD8 |
Seriously, Soul is Crys. Crys's hair was even brown in Pokemon Special for a bit, it's like what happened to Blue, she wore a black dress, and since she never made it into R/B/G/Y, her design was scrapped, and she was turned into Leaf. Same thing with Crys, tyhey probably thought Blue hair was unatural and decide to give her costume an update, I mean look at Silver, he's just Roark in a black jacket and without the helmet.
|
Good point GFA, most of us did catch that
|
Heh, I would have to go with Kris. Shes just so much more of a tomboy and I love her blue hair <3
New girl isnt that bad, though. |
I prefer Soul to Kris. Theres just some sort of quality the character has that makes her...cute. Plus, her hat reminds me of Shiki from the TWEWY, one of my favourite games, so thats a bonus. Never really cared that much for Kris, for some reason.

silver still looks like silver (if no one pointed his roark-yness out, i bet no one would notice >3>) gold still looks like gold Kris looks nothing like Soul, it would be a really extream change D8 |
I prefer Souls sprite over Kris's, but definately not her art work, as cute as she may be :/
|
Quote:
To be fair, I did first play silver so Kris does kind of give a nostalgia feel. Soul is just, hot. |
I like silver better...
also Its kinda lol my brothers name is Kris me and my friend bag him so much about it. Also people are really biased towards pokemon versions like pick gold instead of silver cause its first ect. |
