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.

Plasmette May 18th, 2012 3:53 AM

Am I the only one who thinks it looks silly?

Yoshikko May 18th, 2012 3:58 AM

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.

Charicific May 18th, 2012 4:58 AM

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?!

Nearsighted king of Ice May 18th, 2012 5:18 AM

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

PlatinumDude May 18th, 2012 5:32 AM

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.

ShadowStriatonTriad May 18th, 2012 5:41 AM

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:

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ May 18th, 2012 8:45 AM

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.

Bluerang1 May 18th, 2012 11:28 AM

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.

moon May 18th, 2012 11:54 AM

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

-Grayscale- May 18th, 2012 12:32 PM

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.

torchickensandwich May 18th, 2012 3:20 PM

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.

Twilight-kun May 18th, 2012 4:41 PM

not a fan of Hihihiroshi or Black2 to be honest
at least he gets a better rival theme

playing as White2 in both games

Yeah that actually makes a lot of sense, since she's most likely constantly travelling around and doing modeling work etc.

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

I thought he would be a mean Silver-like rival, but turns out his mysterious looks are just for show. :/ still I think he's cool, only he looked kind of cartoony in the animated trailer.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ May 19th, 2012 3:54 AM

Yeah, I'm kinda let down that apparently once again we're NOT getting a rival who takes an antagonistic role...

moon May 19th, 2012 4:23 AM

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.

Zapperz May 19th, 2012 4:49 AM

i love it, especially Elesa! sad that you cant play as rival's sprite tho

Yeah I said that in my previous post.

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

We still don't know a lot about the rival even still, though. Maybe one of the evil team members changes his perspective in the games later on, and he unintentionally takes on the role of an antagonist. I don't know, the trailer didn't change my impression on the rival at all. He still seems pretty cool to me!

Haha, it's like Hihidaruma. :B

SolarAbusoru May 19th, 2012 3:51 PM

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.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 19th, 2012 5:18 PM

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...

Zayphora May 20th, 2012 5:00 AM

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?

SolarAbusoru May 20th, 2012 6:10 AM

What's wrong with red hair?
Btw, 3 women with red hair =/= Fetish

Zelda May 20th, 2012 7:44 AM

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.
