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.

I really didn't want to initially for obvious reasons(the shorts), but I like her design better than I like the males. I can just picture myself with her as a character a lot better than I can with the male protagonist.

I just realized that the shorts are an over exaggerated look of short shorts with tears or wholes in them on purpose.

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:
  • I am a male.
  • The female design looks terrible and unnatural.

I just know that they designed most of the characters and pokemon in the game off of Americans. They studied how we dressed.

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.

Charizard★ October 9th, 2010 8:31 AM

I'll be choosing the male for Black and the female for White :D

Well, similar shorts in the U.S. do tend to be prevalent in some clothing styles. And Black's/Touya's appearance does seem to be reminiscent of clothings of some boys - something fitting for an adventure.

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.

dragon0fangz October 9th, 2010 4:05 PM

I will be male, since i'm male, but I prefer the female protagonist's design, so I chose female for the poll.

PiPVoda October 9th, 2010 5:04 PM

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).

TheAppleFreak October 9th, 2010 5:34 PM

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.

Dillon_68 October 9th, 2010 5:57 PM

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.

Wings Don't Cry October 9th, 2010 9:41 PM

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.
