Male or Female [ #1 ]
 

http://i51.*.com/2hgblo3.png Male or Female Protoganist? http://i55.*.com/2ex0xdy.png


Out of the Male and Female protoganist, which one will you be picking? Or if you decide to pick based on designs, which do you prefer?

Please vote your choice (Male or Female).

If you have any ideas for future polls, please PM Kaori or Forever.

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

Guy October 3rd, 2010 8:41 AM

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.

Cherrim October 3rd, 2010 8:42 AM

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.

cyan. October 3rd, 2010 8:51 AM

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.

Bluerang1 October 3rd, 2010 9:45 AM

^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

Livewire October 3rd, 2010 9:49 AM

I picked the male because I am one, Like Hiiro, but I actually think the female protagonists' design is better than the males'.

Sydian October 3rd, 2010 9:58 AM

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!

Binary October 3rd, 2010 9:59 AM

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. :)

Aquacorde October 3rd, 2010 10:05 AM

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

Haza October 3rd, 2010 10:08 AM

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 know, but I`m just not a big fan of Cheren.

Oh, right. Not a fan of him either x) But technically, he's our "rival" since he chooses the Pokemon with the type advantage over ours :) While Bel is our "friend" x) I do wonder where Touka&Touya come in into the game, besides the Battle Subway.

Kamigoroshi October 3rd, 2010 10:30 AM

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)

Kevin October 3rd, 2010 10:36 AM

Well... I'm a guy so I'm choosing the guy player. xD He looks pretty cool. Though the female does also. =P

JP October 3rd, 2010 11:31 AM

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.

Cataclysmic October 3rd, 2010 12:01 PM

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.

Surmonter October 3rd, 2010 12:39 PM

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.

So that's their Japanese names...and I was wondering what they were...I have just been calling them Black and white until I found out their real names...
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.

●•ΛΣЯӨЩ•● October 3rd, 2010 3:47 PM

I go for the male character. Not just because i'm male but also cause his design is better than the female's.

Zelda October 3rd, 2010 5:44 PM

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.

PlatinumDude October 3rd, 2010 6:25 PM

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.

Astinus October 3rd, 2010 6:27 PM

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.

Fushigidane-Chan October 3rd, 2010 6:30 PM

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.

Thorns October 3rd, 2010 6:34 PM

Male because the female looks like she got pulled out of a 80's movie about bad fashion. XD
