My personal opinion, while the male protagonist for B2W2 isn't what I'd classify as my favorite, it sure is better than Hilbert's design for Black and White. As you said, just as Hilbert's hair is boring, I find him as a whole just boring in terms of design. That's my opinion anyway if we're comparing Hilbert to the new male protagonist.

if there's one thing i know, it's that the new rival is lookin' mighty fiiine *3*

i am also preparing to ship fem!protag with rival because it's a ritual in my part

also i can't unsee the surfer dude in brotag because of those shorts and that wacky hairdo and visor

I like the female character's design, especially in comparison to Dawn and Lyra. The male character looks decent; his design fits well into a Pokemon game.

Something about the professor is pretty shady...I'm not sure if it's his design or his study of Pokemon strength though.

Yeah I think every character we've seen so far look better than before no doubt. There's not much that are "newly" introduced though. D:

SouKoLian9102 May 31st, 2012 3:49 AM

I like the female's hair and all, but her clothes just irritate me for some reason.
The male... he just, I dunno, doesn't appeal to me as much as the other playables from previous games... (maybe 'cos of lack of cap?) AND DAT HAIR.

True dat. Each character looks much better in my opinion, and not only that, the new characters shown so far look epic, too! Shizui has to be my favorite so far. Dat tan. <3

PaxAmericana May 31st, 2012 6:12 AM

I like the new protagonists as well as the old ones. The new protagonists have that oomph that gives them a protagonist look. In comparison, I like the new ones better vs the old ones.

If only the tan extended to his whole body and not just skipped a part. :x Oh wait, maybe he had a different swim suit before, or that indicates that he might've done something different before? idk actually.

I agree, Elesa with brunette, Cheren, Bianca & N's look all look improved for the better, I'd love to see even more characters with changed appearences now.

The only one I am not totally for is Elesa because the new hair color doesn't go good with her type, but other than that, Elesa is okay.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 31st, 2012 2:59 PM

I really like the player character even more after the trailer. Also Homika seems pretty cool after seeing her in the anime shorts. I hope that the rival can keep up with expectations, same goes for Akuroma.

Haha it's ever so awkward. However I do like unique designs like that I wish Homika had an extra uniqueness to her. The rebellious teenage rock-star thing is too compact.

I think they had a great idea started with her, but it just kind of...was like, given up on. Shizui's is...different and hot, but he has a complete look, I think. Not a complete tan, but a complete look.

I actually think it really fits mainly because yellow seemed so un-natural, while brown combined with her design kinda fits, lol.

Well to be honest she doesn't seem all that rebellious as she goes seems to try to want to bring her father back, ironically he seems like the rebel xD.
Also Shizui's tan is strange...is he wearing white socks, or some thing, or maybe another suit?

Ditto on the names... I don't even call the BW player chars by their English names!

I think they just meant if he had a child -_-

I think the female design in super cute!
I don't get the hate on Hilbert and Ebony (< What some people are calling this guy, I have no clue if that's his actual name), I mean, they said they were older than ten. Eleven is still older than ten...lol...
But, I mean, they are supposed to be kids after all, so maybe they look at JAPANESE trends (Or maybe just their own kids)

Besides, Emo hair is very popular (Hilbert's hair kinda look a bit Emo-ish imo), so all you boys have your hair done like that <3

PaxAmericana June 1st, 2012 9:32 PM

For Hilbert, putting the hat on him threw any creativity on his hair out the window. For the new guy, however, there's more room for creativity, so IMO, both guys are okay, and in the same manner, both girls are okay.

Jellicent♀ June 2nd, 2012 7:54 AM

I honestly prefer Hilda's hair over the new girl's. The new girl looks like Princess Lea with pigtails. I still like all of the hair, but ya know, still ridiculous. I never really thought hair needed...creativity. xD
Like, honestly, it doesn't matter to much to me. Sure Hilbert's hair was just...hair, but so is any other hair. The new guy's hair is quite ridiculous and looks like it's trying to be a fro.

^ Freaking thank you.
I don't like Hilbert. He's pretty boring, but at least he doesn't look bad... that new guy needs to cut his hair.

I really adore all of the new characters except for the male protagonist. They're all unique and well designed. The new guy just looks like a dork.

Kenmoor June 12th, 2012 5:02 PM

And we're arguing about their hair because...? Looks don't matter it's what's on the inside... Judgmental people...
NO SCREW EVERYTHING THAT'S ABOVE.
We can only judge them by looks so far because the protagonists can't talk.
Now, if we take off the male's hat what will happen to his hair? And as for the female's hair... NO HER CLOTHES. A miniskirt w/risque stockings that can rip open at any time and WHAT IN ARCEUS' NAME ARE THOSE SHOES W/ THOSE EARFLAPS THINGIES.

I'm done.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 12th, 2012 10:41 PM

I think it's that hat that's making his long (for a boy) hair look stand up, so removing that hat he proably looks better...
The girl reminds me of Princess Leia

ForeverFlygon July 21st, 2012 5:21 PM

Not a big fan of the protags, the male looks like he's wearing one of those vizors for bald guys, and the girl's hair is kinda hard to get used to. As for the professor, I can no longer take him (or his hair) seriously after seeing this: http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=pokemon+akuroma#/d4w230j The rival is cool I guess, I don't have much to say about him.
