Miley Cyrus and Ashton Kutcher... That's who i see.
|
I like their designs, especially the guy's, due to the Jaden Yuki resemblance, but I hate the names. GF should've come up with better names.
|
Jett and Candie would have been AWESOME! :D
Even though they seem to be adult/Nordic names, I love them. Why? They both mean battlers which is what Trainers are in Pokemon. And these two are Trainers :) The designs are the best so far. A guy wearing a hoodie! :D Only problem is that I would have switched the light and dark blue on the jumper around. Hilda is HAWT! And I now like short-shorts xD |
I'm perfectly fine with the names and designs, but I think that Jett and Gwen would have been amazing names imo. :(
|
The names are so weird... :x Their designs are coolsauce though. The girl is just win, and the guy is pretty cool too. Although, his face when you go into big battles (ie. gym leaders) is kinda... scary. :x
|
The names haven't grown to me yet, but the designs have always been pretty neat. I just can't picture a "Hilbert and Hilda" as the protagonists and to be honest, I expected more city like names for them. However, since I've named the female protagonist as the nickname I want, I barely see the set names for them so it's all good. d("d)
The only time I have seen Hilbert was when he became my partner for the Battle Subway but other than that, they aren't a big role depending on the protagonist you play as. |
Hmm, Blanchard does not mean White in Frence, Blanc (as in Mont. Blanc) and blanche (some circumstances) DO.
|
I refuse to acknowledge, let alone use those names, so I stick with the Japanese ones. About the designs, I like Touko's, but... Every male design has been terrible in my opinion, and the new one keeps true to the tradition. So there I am, using the other gender as my player like I did back in the third generation.

Just as I'm sure Corvin doesn't really mean White Castle. Would you go around calling the restaurant "Corvin" from now on? I don't think so. It comes from some root word in old English surely, just as names come from root words. Irene means peace, but I'm pretty sure that when the Greecians talk, they don't actually use "irene" in that context. It's derived from Greek somewhere, and it's them that came up with the name, just as Blanchard comes from Blanc which is French, and they added their nifty "hard" to the end to make it a name. It still means "white", but you can't go around saying "La neige est blanchard" because that makes absolutely no sense. It's a pronoun with a derivational meaning, not a noun that can be used as an adjective in itself. Everyone's names have a meaning, but that doesn't mean that their names can be used in a formal context. It's just derived from something that means x long ago (or even to-date) and being used as a pronoun. Spoiler:
|
I think the designs are pretty good overall. They don't have anything too abnormal that could cause people to hate them yet they're not boring either. Their names completely suck though. I don't mind Hilda that much but the name Hilbert is terrible. There are so many good names out there so I don't see why they'd go with something so awful.

I'd rather complain about how people actually decide to battle on a high-speed subway, but then again I'd prefer shouting the name "Hilda" under those intense/dangerous moments over some japanese name I can't pronounce properly despite studying Japanese for two years >:[ Also, have some battle subway art. ^^ http://i55.*.com/2zebaiw.jpg |
I've always hated the "pockets sticking out of the bottom of your shorts" style for girls. Even before seeing Hilda, I always said that if you were going to wear shorts THAT short, you should have to deal with the consequences of having no pockets. It just looks tacky, and accentuates the fact that the girl is wearing shorts WAY too short, if a normal pocket can't even fit inside them.
Therefore, I really don't like her design. It's stylish I guess, but it's a style I hate. |
I noticed when she throws the ball, the animation is a bit funny around the shorts - white stuff. I guess that's the pocket problem; never really noticed that her shorts where that short until recently ~_~
|
I don't like their names, but the charachter designs are so awesome I forgive them
|
I adore the style of the new characters and that they're older, but seriously, Hilbert and Hilda? They have gotta be the worst names yet =/
|
Call me insane, but the names don't phase me. I actually like Hilda. Girl can own up to her name. Like Helga from Hey Arnold. You just gotta go with the flow. Hilbert on the other hand is lke this super nerdy name, that is sort of cute in an awkward way. Though I think nerds are cute anyway. :T
I'm also okay with their designs, except for the daisy dukes. But that's because I can't pull them off as well as she can. But her shorts are a tad too small. what's next? Is our protaganist girl going to be wearing a bikini? I understand she is older, but older girls are still modest when it comes to clothing. (until you get to the adult escorts, then they ruin our good image) |
I like Hilbert and Hilda. They are cool characters. I like how they look! They look awesome. I like their names too! They are different and cool names. I really like these two.
|
I don't really like the names of the two protagonists, though I do love the design of the female. :) Hers looks so much better than the other designs of female protagonists, I guess she just seems most realistic to me, and she looks like she's full of life! I also like how you get dialogue of what she's actually thinking, too. As for the male, don't really like his design, looks kinda awkward.
|
Their designs are the best yet - MUCH better than the other generations. Although their names sound like they should belong in another century - a really old one. Unova is supposed to be high tech and new {or at least that's how they show it} and these don't mirror that at all! It doesn't match. :/
Did Game Freak HONESTLY think fans would like these names? Ugh. |
I'm still getting used to the new names - but I have to say I LOVE Hilda's design :)
|
Hilbert and Hilda are pretty nice names. I call them Blair and Whitlea in fan fiction. I predicted the boy's name to be "Blake" and the girl's name as "Fiona". Both mean Black and White, obviously.
|
I like the names, I think they're just fine. And I don't really see what the big deal is if you don't like them, you only have to see them in the battle subway, if at all.
I like the boy's design, I suppose, it looks practical enough. I loathe the girl's design. Freaking pink again, and stupid shorts. I generally don't like the girl's design too much anyway, but this is the first time I've hated it. I started one of my copies with the girl thinking I'd get used to it like I have with the others, and the overworld sprite isn't so bad, but the way you see the trainer from behind for each battle.. I would have to stare at those stupid shorts so much... I restarted with the boy. |
Hilbert and Hilda are really cool. I like them. They look awesome. They are really fun to play as.
|
Not a fan of the names or the male character design. (mullets aren't very fun) But, I do enjoy the female design.
