I always liked to wear a bandanna.

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!

I dunno, IMO if your going to care about what the character is going to wear, you shouldn't be playing the games. Also, who says the games take place in 2009? The fashion in the game is just fine.

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.

You know he wears a hat too, right?

Munch Dog August 3rd, 2009 7:25 PM

That white thing on top of his head is a hat? I always thought it was his hair...

Åzurε August 3rd, 2009 7:28 PM

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.

System! August 3rd, 2009 7:38 PM

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?

His backsprite makes it much more clear his hair is black.

What's with all the trouser bashing? I quite like Gold's three quarter lengths, besides I've seen plenty of people out in ones like them. Maybe they're just not as popular in America (I mean IRL)

Also I tried wearing my cap backwards on sports day... didn't work for me, I looked about 4 years younger. But now I think about it that's about Gold's age anyways.

xxChazxx August 4th, 2009 3:50 AM

What kind of hat is that?!

A very tight beanie on hair held in place with manga wax; AKA concrete

lolcats August 4th, 2009 4:51 AM

Personally, i don't care about the clothes they wear i just play the game and enjoy it but customiseable clothing would be cool.

Timbjerr August 4th, 2009 8:49 AM

Thanks to this revelation, I will never look at Brendan the same. >_>

That is a really weird hat. O_o

Signomi August 4th, 2009 8:57 AM

Am I the only one amused by the fact that Gold out of him and Soul is complained about than the latter? He has had his character design for 10 years, I believe. HeartGold and SoulSilver are remakes of the original Gold, Silver and Crystal; while there are changes implemented there are various things kept the same, and that would be Gold's look.

Besides, what's so bad about the backwards cap look? That to me shows the prim demeanour of a youth, the sort of image the designer was going for in the first place. It's not uncommon, it's still a rather trendy fashion statement as I've seen a fair number of people go around with a backwards cap on their head, they usually know how to work the look and I have not seen anybody complain about it until I read the very first post in this thread. Honestly? I don't see anything wrong whatsoever, but each to their own I suppose.

K3fka August 4th, 2009 10:35 AM

I've actually never had a problem with any of the characters' outfits.

shining-Celebi August 4th, 2009 11:23 AM

The HGSS male protagonist looks hot, LEAVE HIM ALONE! j/k lol

Seriously both Heart and soul look good/older.

Kyledove August 4th, 2009 12:47 PM

The main difference is that the pokemon world is not the same as the real world, so of course you wont see people going out wearing the same clothes, just like you wont see people going out with their pokemon.

Not to mention the whole japanese fashion thing.
Personally I think Gold's outfit is very fashionable and bold. I find his pants are really cool and make him look sporty - fitting the whole pokethlon thing the games have now.

Ayselipera August 4th, 2009 12:51 PM

I think hes fine. Just the pants are a little weird.

orange discontent August 4th, 2009 3:17 PM

Because ten year olds running around getting dirty in the grass need to have outfits strung together by Coco Chanel herself. Hey, at least they aren't trendy hipsters.

But still, Gold's backwards cap doesn't compare to Lucas' floppy hat. That was tragic.

PiplupGHacker August 4th, 2009 3:25 PM

Oh god, he's wearing capris isn't he?
