I think that they are as well done as the first BW character designs.
The female protagonist looks amazing, especially with those little hair balls on the side of her head. The poison gym leader is, in my opinion, so cool looking. Definatly a good design for a Poison-type gym leader by far. But I do think that they should of put just a LITTLE more effort in the male protagonist's design. Really, it looks like there is a palm tree on his head. LOL ______________________________________________________________________ Volcarona FTW! Oh and Larvesta, he is cool too........http://www.pokecommunity.com/www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/bw/637.png |
I don't like the way the male looks but they did a good job with the female.
|
Everyone seems to be saying how much better the female's design is than the males- what the hell? XD It's not half bad, imo, I think they're equally good! I think the female's is a little ordinary in comparison (aside from that spectacular hair, lol).
One thing I'm uncertain on is the fact that they've actually SHOWN the protagonists hair as much as they have here. I guess they're running out of different headwear to use, hahaha. But I don't think it's bad at all, I suppose. :) |
Hate hate hate hate hate the male trainer's hair. Haaaaaaate. Other than that, his design seems pretty cool looking to me. I have no problem with his outfit. The female trainer looks okay, although her hair is a little silly looking. The rival just looks awesome. Like an even more swag version of Gary/Blue. Part of me hopes he says "Smell ya' later" at one point in the game, ahahah.
|
Hate the new guy character. Who the heck thought of that?
Otherwise, I adore the girl. She looks adorable and tough :'D The professor is also pretty good. Looks a little menacing, and I can say the same for the rival... The guys really need haircuts. Right now. I just despise that protagonist's hair design. First time I saw an avatar of that I chuckled and thought it was silly/ridiculous. But if I had to play a character like that... no. No no no no no. As for the rival... he just needs less hair. Otherwise, perfect. I'd really look forward to another evil rival like Gary or Silver. I don't think I'll be playing as a guy this time haha Edit: That poison-type Gym leader is the best gym leader design I've seen yet, close to Elesa. Love love loveee~ |
I think the girl has the best design; probably one of my favorite girl characters. The others, eh... not the best. The older characters will always be the best in my book.
|
Why do I feel like the professor is just loaded with evil materials :(His cold eyes and that hairstyle scare me somehow.
The male protagonist is...weird to say the least. Girly face feature, palm tree hair and those leggings turn me off. The female one is cute, but kinda meh. She looks like a kid that should be in school, rather than being a pokemon trainer. There's utterly nothing special about her besides those ridiculous hair. The rival probably has the most normal design out of the main characters, but that isn't saying much. He looks rather cool to me though, in an offsetting way. The gym leaders, especially the poison one, look very good. They actually look like they have a personality. :) |
The male has some pretty crazy hair, kind of reminds me a a year ago when I had long hair and always wore a hat lol. The girl char is quite amazing, and the rival is pretty sweet too! Somewhat wish we could switch it :P
|
Looking at them now, I don't think either of them are that bad. Other than the hair, I think the dude is pretty sick, but the hair isn't that bad either. To tell ya the truth I like Hilda better than the new girl, but maybe that'll change. I definitely like the new dude better than Hilbert

I wouldn't really want the choice because that would annoy me. "You have two guy designs to choose from but only one girl!" It would feel like Game Freak was reverting back to their 'catering to men only' days.
|
Oh, no, I meant the design of the rival = the protag, and the design of the protag = the rival. So you basically could only choose one, but you'd see the current protag as the rival, since he looks better. :3 Wishful thinking however.
|
I LOVE these new designs. I'm a girl, so I don't really care about the boy's character, but he's....okay....but the girl is AMAZING.
|
The character designs are amazing! I love the female's art! And the rival looks kind of dark if you ask me.
As for the other characters. I think their alright I don't have anything to say about them. And yes I think this is a beta. Their appearances are going to change for sure. These designs aren't going to be final. |
I love them all! Actually, at first, I thought they where the same protagonists from the first Black and White, two years later!
I love the rivals hair, and his eyes..they look sorta goldish to me. |
What I like about the new characters so far:
Male PC I know a lot of people complain about his hair but he's pretty good-looking and is only the third male PC to wear shorts. Female PC I love most of the female PCs and she's no exception. I love her cute hair and that skirt-shorts thing of hers. I'm a girl anyway so that's why I like her. Rival (Hihihiroshi) He looks weird compared to other rivals, especially with the hair and clothing. Cheren will always be my fave rival cos of him being a nerd but I'm hoping I get to name this "Hihihiroshi" guy. Akuroma He probably has the quirkiest hair of any character in history. That's what I like about him and I think with that mysteriousness about him makes him even cooler. Homika I like that we finally have a rock chick Gym Leader. Poison isn't exactly my fave type but I love all that fanart of her popping up on sites like Zerochan, Pixiv, Tumblr and DeviantArt. She is so cool! Shizui I really don't like that tanned skin of his, at least I love Water-types though. |

|
I can't get over how cute they are!
I was thinking maybe their names were Black and White, but I think those are Cheren and Bianca's names in Japanese (Correct me if I'm wrong). The female looks like a Skye to me. Seriously though, Hilda/Hilbert aren't bad names. Someone with either of those names could be reading this, so be nice. |
I think Homika looks awesome with her bass guitar, and she'll make an awesome gym leader, with her team being:
Koffing level 15 Venipede level 13 Shizui...I think they could have had him lost the tan, or lose the white on his lower body, I mean, c'mon, it looks weird >_< His team'll be: Psyduck level 20 Alomola level 18 |
I think the new avatars look like hippies. Just sayin'...!
|
I like the new characters we will be using, but I still want an appearance from the Striaton Trio!
|
Quote:
I just hope they don't give them similar-sounding names. It just seems kinda lazy, to have stuff like Hilbert/Hilda or Touya/Touko, y'know? |
The female character looks pathetic... The male characters never look good to me (except for Red and Yuki) I like the rival though, except for his shirt. Why such a weird turtleneck?
|
The female character is EPIC WIN IMO =D! She is just SO adorable that you could just give her a hug!
The poison type gym leader and the rival are cool, too. |
I fail to see how the male is any different the your average anime male

I'd heard horror stories about the design of the male protagonist, but when I actually looked for the first time, he's not that bad! And the female one's not all that great either. But, then again, I've never really paid that much attention to the design aspects of the characters all that much. As long as they're vaguely human-looking, that's good enough for me.
|
Now that it's become apparent that the girl protagonist isn't wearing a skirt but some shorts that look like a skirt, her level of awesomeness has dropped slightly. I'm still liking the black tights look, but IMO Leaf from FR/LG is still the queen of the Pokemon protagonists.
|
The male protagonist is bad, but its not horrible. From the head down he actually looks decent. The only reason people are unattracted to him is because the palm tree living atop his head, other than that he's decent
The girl is actually normal im not enthralled or disapointed she's okay |
I think they look beast. I like them more than any other characters.
|
I like the look of the professor and rival, but my favourite addition is definitely Shizui :) I quite like the concept of the guitarist gym leader as well.
|
/late to the party here
Anyway, I really like Homika. When I first saw her, one band sprang to my mind: Tenacious D. Seriously, she just has that Tenacious D look on her face. The male character is okay, but I really don't like his hair. D: |
Quote:
|
It's funny how you guys didn't noticed. I think it being shorts that look like a skirt is awesome because I've seen then on someone. I think I posted a link to what they are.
Yeah I did: Quote:
|
Who doesn't like a skort? D:
I think her design clothing wise is cute, as well as all of the other characters. The design in that aspect has been very creative, and realistic, this time around. The hair is still ridiculous. |
The girl looks hecka cool, second to Hilda. Hilbert was pretty laid back and cool, but this new boy is utterly awful. Looks like a skinny Pence from Kingdom Hearts 2. >>
|
I prefer skirts actually... skorts make it seem like you're cheating, at least IMO.
She's still a hundred times better looking than Hilda, though. |
...what even. XD
Also I noticed the male's hair actually looks kinda flat/stretched, sorta. :( I shouldn't pay too much attention to it imo but now I think I see what people say lool. |
Maybe he has his starter Pokémon snuggling in his hair.
But seriously, I see no problem with it. It's so cool. I love the new male protagonist. |
Well it's better than Hilda and Hilbert so really, it can't be that bad lol. I actually love the female protag and the male is alright too! He's goofy.
|
I think they're pretty cool thus far, I just think the male Player Character's hair is a little big... I have to wonder, since the Unova region is based off of America... does that mean they think we dress this way? :cer_confused:
|
Well... Americans that enjoy swimming I'd guess, but the same would apply to B/W's protagonists. These ones are just less stereotypical. :(
|
Hilda and Hilbert appear a lot more like the hiker/country type whereas these clothing designs are pretty different so I like that about the new protagonists. I guess GameFreak just needed a new theme for them, and thus they thought of a water theme idea. Just like Platinum had a winter theme going on, and well Black and White's protagonists looked country, etc.
|
Well these are city folks, whose home town is close to the beach so their looks match them quite nicely when you think about it, which is good imo.
I like the Poison gym leader, she looks rebellious but seems to care about her father at least that's what I take from the new scan with her going to talk to her father. The water gym leader's legs look strange... |

Elesa
What does everyone think of Elesa's new character design?
|
I think it looks very cool. I never was a big fan of her strange striped dress and her... headphone things. Now she looks much more elegant and smart :3 I wonder if the blonde or the dark was her real hair color, hehe.
|
She looks way cooler now, I love how epic her new look is.
|
I hope she hasn't skinned a Beartic for that nice new coat of hers... but, truth betold, I didn't recognise her at first!
|
Elesa is sexy. Just sayin'...
|
LOVE her headpiece and her shades, and her hair black looks really good, I'm not a fan of the clothes (the coat is cool though) but yeah she looks better imo.
|
Am I the only one who thinks it looks silly?
|
Well, why do you think it looks silly? I like it better than before actually, the hair especially, didn't like it yellow at all.
|
I am more used and fond to her older style but she does look outrageously cool in her new appeal. I mean C'mon, it's Elesa.. .how on earth is she suppose to look worse by any mean?!
|
I really like Elesa back in B/W I mean her head phones in B2/W2 makes her like Wasp from Avengers: Earth mightiest heroes... it doesn't really fit her
|
I liked it better when Elesa was blonde; I almost didn't recognize her in the trailer. I only recognized her before the end of her scene through her headphone-like headgear and her Pokemon, Emolga and Zebstrika.
But now I think she looks kinda cool and more sexier than before. |
I absolutely adore Elesa's new appearance. It has a vivid and risque taste. She is Gorgeous, no doubt. She actually looks like a model now, and not a Nazi. Brunettes tend to be better models, anyway. Plus, her new appearance reminds me of a ThunderStorm, which matches her being perfectly.:cer_nod:
|
First of all, glad to hear that Elesa is returning. Second of all her outfit in B/W looked weird (were those lighter colored parts of the outfit stripes or actual holes/slits in it?), so her new style is a definite improvement over that. Cool shades, too.
|
I'm getting jealous of all the Elesa admiration, she's mine, I saw her new look before all of y'all haha. i did tho
I like the Rival more now after seeing him in that video. Looks less hostile. |
I've done some reconsidering and I think old Elesa was better :p
Also, the female protagonist does look a bit weird. Kotone would fit better together with NewBlack and NewWhite would fit better together with Gold :3 |
I like all of the new characters, honestly... except for the male protagonist. I refuse to let his hair grow on me... lol
I love how they changed the old characters to look more mature, and gave Elesa a new attractive look since she is a model. |
I like the look of the new protagonists and rival for the most part. The only thing I don't really like is that the new protagonists wear visors, and yet that's such a small detail I'll probably forget about it by the time the game releases. Everyone else looks great though! Cheren and Bianca's new looks are cool and even the Akuroma guy looks interesting.
|
not a fan of Hihihiroshi or Black2 to be honest
at least he gets a better rival theme playing as White2 in both games |
Quote:
Is it just me or was anyone else less impressed with the design of the rival in the video than they originally were? I didn't really like him at first but he looks less appealing now. :x |
Quote:
|
Yeah, I'm kinda let down that apparently once again we're NOT getting a rival who takes an antagonistic role...
|
Plus, he's named Hihihiroshi. I'm hoping that you can name him, like in Kanto and Sinnoh, because I DON'T want to name him that.
|
i love it, especially Elesa! sad that you cant play as rival's sprite tho

It looks like we'll be getting Plasma admins. I like their new look. |

why do people not like the rival's attitude, I find it awesome that for once we have the aggressive rival on our side as our best friend, means he's more willing to fight alongside you and pretty much obliterate anything with your help.
|
Well the rival doesn't seem any less cool to me. Actually the trailer made me like him more. He seems tough and friendly at the same time rather than the jerkish Silver and Blue...
|
Speaking of plasma admins, did you notice that with the ninja lady, that's what, our third female team admin with red hair? Ariana, Mars,and now her. And I can't remember if there were any in gen3. Why the red hair fetish, GAMEFREAK?
|
What's wrong with red hair?
Btw, 3 women with red hair =/= Fetish |
Hah I actually think Pokémon games lack trainers and characters with red hair (and I want more!). :[ I really like Plasma's new uniforms though. Better than the old ones.
Also I never mentioned Elesa's new look, but it's amazing. I'm glad that GameFreak has changed her design like many of us wanted. Though I'm not so sure about the outfit. |
Elesa — Blonde or Brunette?
Many of you may have seen the animated trailer for Black and White 2 and so accordingly have probably seen Elesa's new look, but which do you like more — her older one or newer one? Why?
Personally, I like her blonde look more as I find it suits her personality more and, well... she is an electric-type gym leader, so... 'nuff said? :laugh: |
Just one thing, Brunette means Brown hair, Elesa had Black, and yes I prefer her with Black hair, defines her face more
|
Quote:
|
I like Elesa's new outfit, it's not as um...confusing as her previous one, plus I love that scouter headphone combo
|
I agree with Solar, her hair is too dark to be brown, its definitely black unless we get a better scan.
|
I hate short hair so I love how Elesa grew her hair out (or extensions hehe). She's so great.
|
Her brunette look appeals to me more than her blonde look. She's gorgeous either way, though.
|
I like the new characters and the changes to the old ones -- it shows a lot of change and promise for these two new games.
|
Black is much better. She matches her Zebstrika now.
|
I would have like to seen a mix to the two, the black and the blonde, in some kind of way. But out of the two choices, I'd go for Brunette/Black, whatever it is.
|
I think the black hair makes her look more serious, or more powerful. Kinda like Cynthia's all black attire made her stand out. Though, that just may be me. Black just seems to make things seem "tougher" or cooler to me.
|
Elesa is gorgeous as a Brunette and no longer looks like a Nazi. x.x I also adore her new outfit.
|
Definitely like her dark hair better. Goes good with her headgear, her face, her coat looks amazing with it, etc. Just don't realllyyy like the diamond shapes in it, I'll just pretend they're braids lmao.
|
In Black and White, I felt like there was way too much yellow in her design. Now that they changed her hair to black and lightened up the colors in her wardrobe, it looks more balanced and unique. I love it! :)
|
Blonde look was better, just suited her better in my opinion.
|
It was one of the best things about the video tbh. I love her new style. <3
|
Looks good either way, Imo. Did didn't exactly have a major roal in BW, so it wasn't really on my list of things that needed changing, but whatever. Deffinetly still looks good though
|
She stands out a lot more to me now. I didn't really pay her too much attention in the B/W. It's the coat seriously. That thing is freaking huge. Seriously making a fashion statement with that thing. I prefer the black hair - it goes well with the rest of the outfit.
|
Quote:
|
I like both of her looks but I like the black haired look slightly better, it makes her clothes stick out more ^_^
|
Definitely with the dark hair. I like dark haired girls and it makes Elesa even more appealing.
|
The black hair actually seems way out of place to me lol, so I'll go with blonde. Don't think black fits her much for some reason. >:
|
oh GAWD thanks. I just saw this somewhere, and I'd like to believe it's true XD

Brunette Elesa FTW. She looks even more awesome in B2/W2!
