Male or Female [ #1 ]
http://i51.*.com/2hgblo3.png Male ♂ or Female ♀ Protoganist? http://i55.*.com/2ex0xdy.png |
Urm, lol isn't a bit simple, if your male you will probably be picking the male protoganist and if your female you'll pick the female protoganist... thats the reason they added the female protoganist in Crystal, so females could be females!
Although you can completelly ignore my post if your just picking which gender you want to be by design, or the change to have boobs Btw, I chose the male, cuz im male xD |
I'll be playing as a male, for reasons being that I am a male. However, my vote wouldn't go to the male protagonist. When it comes to the poll, it refers to who I prefer, and I honestly prefer the female in that her design is more memorable. The male stands to be more generic which got boring after Lucas in DPPt.
|
Chose the female this time because I actually really like the female's design. Aside from those weird shorts, I love everything about her.
The guy is just really generic. I mean, he looks fine, and there's nothing wrong with his design (though his shaggy hair kind of needs a hair cut :P) but... he doesn't stand out at all. |
I love the design for the female, but I've always wanted my rival to be a different gender then me, so I think I'm going to choose the male player this time.
|
^Rival? We have Bel AND Cheren if that's what you mean...
Anyway, the Female Protagonist (they should give her a name already! Is is White?) is hawt so I'll go with her. However, in the game, I'm playing as the male character, since I am male. Touko! Her name is Touko! :D |
I picked the male because I am one, Like Hiiro, but I actually think the female protagonists' design is better than the males'.
|
This generation, we were graced with the best female protagonist ever, and I'm actually playing as the girl because of it. :) I vote for her!
|
I'll be picking the female protagonist; one of the reasons being that the design of the female protagonist is better than that of the male. :)
|
I will be choosing the female first. I always play my first time through as the girl, then the second time as a boy.
I also really like her design. <3 |
The female is the best and I may be using her in my Pokemon Black... and just pisses me off howw the first time we get a female I really like they don't but her in the anime.

I agree that Touko of B/W is the best looking protagonist a Pokemon game ever had hands down. Now, if only her clothes were less white/pink and more black then she would be even better. I also have high hopes that someone creates a mini hack to change her into a gothic lolita similar to Marley from D/P at some point. Now that would be the ultimate female protagonist for Pokemon Black!
As for the guy... I don't know. I never liked the design of any of Nintendo's male protagonists: the hideous pokeball caps and short hairstyles were always turn-off's for me. If Nintendo decides to create a male protagonist similar to the Guitarist trainer sprite then I'll consider to play as him, but that's of course not gonna happen. ( ゚,_ゝ゚) |
Well... I'm a guy so I'm choosing the guy player. xD He looks pretty cool. Though the female does also. =P
|
I honestly really like both designs, I'm not sure I have one I like over the other. I picked male simply because that's what I am, like many others have said.
|
This is definitely my favorite female character design yet, but I still like the guy a little more... Not to mention I always play as the guy anyway since I like to see the character as an extension of myself.
|
I always rotate between the two. Although, this generation and all others, I prefered to be the girl.
I always name myself Gaga as the girl. DON'T JUDGE. ^-^ I always name myself Steve as the guy. |

I like the Female's design the best, the male looks like all the others...I think the only non Generic male was Brandon in RSE. |
I go for the male character. Not just because i'm male but also cause his design is better than the female's.
|
To answer my own question, I'll be choosing the female. Not just because I'm a girl myself, but her design is outstanding and the character clothing is both simplistic and attractive.
The male is alright; the style is similar to the others, but he's still decent looking. The only thing I had a small problem with is his unoriginal clothing which I've noticed, the male protagonists always seem to have the same simple type of clothing. :( He doesn't stand out as much as the female protagonist, but is still another fine male protagonist. |
Because I'm a guy, I'm going with the male protagonist. There's more to why I picked him: he reminded me of Jaded Yuki from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX when he was first revealed.
|
To the question of which one I'm going to be/am playing as, that would be both. But I picked the male first because I'm currently playing Black as a more experimental run, and want to save the girl to play, for writing purposes.
As for which design I prefer, I have to say that I do like both designs. This is the first region where there wasn't something that bothered me about the trainer designs (with the exception of the first generation, because there was only Red at that point). I do like both. It's the male's design, however, that I tend to lean towards just because he keeps popping into my mind. And he fits Mijumaru's color scheme. So while I do like both characters, I think that I do prefer the male, since I chose to play as him first and because he's the one that I remember more than the girl's. |
I prefer the guy. He reminds me of Red, and his design looks pretty cool, even if he's somewhat generic. He's one of my favorite protagonists.
The girl is fine, but I'm not really a fan of those short shorts and her hair. I like her more than Dawn and Lyra though, at least. |
Male because the female looks like she got pulled out of a 80's movie about bad fashion. XD
|
Going with the female, however, I dislike the OWs for both. Plus, I have no reason to choose the male (unlike in R/S,where the character was more appealing), so yeah, female. Plus if I was male I'd probably choose the female too... because she just looks better.
However I do like the actual art of the female. |
At first I preferred the male protagonist, but the female is beginning to grow more and more on me. <3 |
I choose the male since I hated the design for Diamond and gold's new artwork was a "meh" feeling for me. This male protagonist actually looks cool and his sprite is one of the best in my opinion (His trainer sprite not OW). So I'll toss mine in now.

No, I actually know a lot of people who dont go on their own gender but on their designs. |
I actually think the male design is better than the female's. :x I would certainly say that B/W has the best male protagonist by far. All of the previous ones were awful, in my opinion, with the possible exception of Ethan. Anyway, if this is a question of which protagonist I will play as, I will still choose the female, for one reason: ToukoxNforeverrrrr nvm. I still don't like her as much as Dawn, though.
|
I prefer the male over the female too, although the female looks really cool too. If I get both games I will have one trainer for each game.
|
I like everything about the female protagonist's design more than the male protagonist's (with the exception of the VS sprite - it's just awkward looking) so I've chosen to play as her. I don't particularly think of the character as "me" in the games so gender isn't an issue and if I ever restart the game I'll choose the male character simply because I hadn't already and it would be something different.
|
I'm playing as Black/Touya (name reminds me of Digimon's Takuya) to match my own gender. I love both of their designs, but White's/Touko's seems more original (plus she looks very hot). I disliked how Black's outfit looks very similar to Lucas' Platinum outfit (in terms of color scheme, sans shoes). But a plus is that Black's outfit looks more rugged and less "formal." The slight resemblance to Red is also cool. At first, I disliked how White's hair color matched his eye color, but I'm gradually becoming accustomed to it...
Both of their VS sprites look slightly awkward to me... And I really dislike how White's sprite has more "dark pink" on it. The original artwork had those areas (sans the boots) with coloration of what I saw to be red/scarlet; why couldn't her sprite receive the same coloration? (like the red parts of Black's sprite) I love how their Japanese names imply "transparency and purity", though (finally revealed after all this time! :)). Hope the English names are just as awesome! (though I could definitely run with Black retaining the name Black, and White retaining the name White. But I'm planning to name myself Nero, so I won't notice much...). I'm glad that the player's counterpart makes an appearance in the Battle Subway; I was getting a bit worried that White would be nowhere to be seen in my playthrough! :( On a side-note, this weekly poll implementation looks like a nice idea that will hopefully tide us over until the English releases of BW! |
I chose the guy. What were you excepting?
I hate the girl's shorts, and the hair look very weird. I think he's designed the second best from all the generation,after GSC Ethan. |
Eh this is unfair because there are more males playing pPokemon than females. :/ Anyway what's the point of this poll? It's not like this is Harvest Moon.
|
Quote:
However, the point is just a fun poll, asking users what they're going to do in the lead up to the games. It isn't serious or anything. |
Welll, I like the female and chose her. I always do on my main version of the generation. And she looks really cool, love the shorts XD. Plus the boy looks a lot like red. :o
|
Imma be using the guy. He's adorable. Idc what any you guys say, I want to play as him. Plus, imo, he's the best looking guy you get to play as yet.

I will be playing as the male protagonist for an obvious reason.
|
Choose the female, mainly because I am a girl but I also think she looks pretty cool...besides those hanging pockets or whatever those things are on her shorts :S

|
I'm going to play as the male, however i like both designs. If i get another version or something i'll play as the girl.
The girl is the best design in the series, because she's not damn pigeon toed, and the boy is much better that everyone since Red (who is the quintessential Pokemon trainer). |
I'll most likely pick the girl character. I want to use girls for a change; plus, I'm saving the guy for the third version.
|
Quote:
Yeaaaaah everyone should play as girls. :D Especially since the girl is losing on the poll, saaaad. |
Oooh, a poll! :D
I like'em both, even their shipping. But I chose guy because his colors are awesome. But you can't deny booty shorts! |
I chose the girl. |
I love the female! I cosplay her now

I'm playing the female this time around. I've played both genders on previous games before, but since HG/SS I've been unhappy with the character designs. So for B&W I'm exclusively playing the female protagonist.
|
Female.
To me, the male just looks. Generic. o3o |
I think Male player character looks ten times better than female one.
I'll start with the male protagonist for the first time even though I'm a chick. |
Quote:
|
Do you think that they use the shorts in that way to make it more appealing to certain genders then, Boarbeque? If the shorts were designed differently, I wonder, would have less people have chosen the female, or more?
|
I'll be choosing the male character because:

Quote:
Some people may deny it, but a lot of girls wear shorts like the female player. I know that I dress almost exactly alike to the boy player, which was the reason I chose him in the first place. I have also seen girls with crazy hair like that too. I live in the northwestern parts of America, so what I think is natural may be unnatural to everyone else. So yeah, I do think they tried to make it more appealing to females. |
I'm a guy, and I chose the girl. Her design is much more appealing to me. Whereas the male protagonist is just very basic and generic.
|
I'll be choosing the male for Black and the female for White :D
|
Quote:
I just love how they added nicely designed spikes on White's/Touko's shorts for good measure, though. Shorts were nice enough, but "threatening" shorts are even better. I mean, everything's better when spikes are thrown in the mix! :D |
The female's hair is sort of weird.
On the other hand the male is the best one so far imo. that is all. |
I will be male, since i'm male, but I prefer the female protagonist's design, so I chose female for the poll.
|
Male seeing as I'm male, and also because this time around I think the male protagonist looks better than the female (though she's still awesome).
|
For me, I'm going to choose the male character in Black when it comes stateside. Although I'm a fan of the female design, I almost always choose the male character. I might use Pokésav to edit my gender in my White ROM though to get a feeling of what it's like playing as the female character.
|
I never debate over which character to pick, I feel like I have to get male because I'm a male and name it my real name, it just feels customary. I love to personalize my games to suit my real preferences. (ex. I like my OT to be my name "Dillon"). Besides, I think it would be wierd to play as a female, but on Voice Chat you sound like a man, though their are some females that DO sounds that way, lol.
Wow, I got off topic quick. |
I prefer the female in terms of design, but I'll be picking the male since I'm a male and because the female looks like she'll catch a cold in winter.
