Which'll you choose?
Now we know what the protagonists look like, which one will you choose? What will you name yourself in-game? AND WHY?
|
The female protagonist is a definite! In Black and White I decided to switch things up a bit and name myself something different other than my real name, but I decided I didn't like that. So this time for sure, I'm just going to go ahead and give the protagonist my name. :B
|
Male protagonist because I'm a guy and I can't choose the rival. :[
I'll name him Dominic because that's what I name all of my files. :P |
Picking the male, calling him either Ventus or Matsuri, and picking Oshawott as my starter since I already went with Tepig once and Snivy's took weak for me.
|
Male cause I always start with the male. His name be Xander as I usually do.
When I get a second copy I'll make the Girl and name her Usagi. |
Female, for sure. This guy looks less generic than BW!hero but that hair, lmao. No thanks. The girl is so cute though. I love her.
Name will probably be Erica, as usual. But maybe I'll go ahead and name myself something different. Chances are I'll just decide when I'm on the name select screen. |
I'll choose the girl this time around since I've chosen the guy so many times even in Platinum when I should of chosen the girl. I'll probably name her Eiko or Porom since the female protagonist seems to remind me of those two and because they are some of my favourite female characters from Final Fantasy.
|
The girl has the better design, again, but as I'm a guy, I'm choosing the male protagonist. Naming it after myself, as usual.
|
Answering my own thread! For me, I'm going with the girl and "Forever", to parallel what I did in Black and White. :) Plus she's so awesome looking!
|
I will pick the girl as I am a girl in reality and I love the female PC designs better than the males.
As for the name, I might name her Nichole (my real name) again or do her official name (if it is revealed). |
Girl probably.
Though i'm a guy I just cannot be bothered to play as exeggutor. |
I like the girl but I'm picking the guy and his name shall be Jon.
OFF TOPIC: I'm so jealous of all the in-game trainers named Jonathan. |
Girl! And I'll probably give her the same name I give my females - Ashe, or Ashelia. *FFXII fangirl*
|
I want to say the girl, but I'm probably going to pick the guy at the last second >_>
As for the name, I'll go with either RedJ or Tetsuya, as I usually do. Unless I DO pick the female, in which case, I'm not sure. |
Both of the hairstyles are pretty...ridiculous, but I'll go for the guy, of course. He's still got that charm that Hilbert had. <3
|
I shall be a manly-man-boy-child. I'd feel weird playing as a girl, so, ummm.
|
I plan on getting at least both B2 and W2 and on the original Black, I played as a boy, and named him after me (Bryant) and on the original White, I played as a girl and named her after my friend (Ashley). I plan to alternate it this time and B2 be a girl, who I am not sure and W2 as a boy and if I don't name it after my friend (Josh), then either after me (Bryant or Bry Guy) or someone that's a guy.
|
Female, as per usual. I'll only think of a name at the time the text menu comes up, since I don't use a specific one across all Pokemon games.
|
I always go with the gender I am so Male. Even though I find the males hair style to be a bit silly looking. If I could I'd much rather be the rival though.
|
I'll proably play as the boy. I think his hair is alright, it's simply that hat that's making it stick out...
|
I'll definitely choose a boy....even though I'm more fond of the female's and the rival's design. I think the male protagonist kind of took an L in character design! :D
|
Even though I have issues with the guy's hair, I'm still playing as him because I've always played as the guy in past games.
|
I'mma go with the guy, because I am one. Although if I ever start my file again I'll probably go as the girl just to shake things up a bit- but going as the guy, first.
I usually name my character either my own real-life name, or Gira, or the name of the game (as in the Manga- ie. Blue, Gold, Ruby, White, etc). But I can't really call my character "White 2", so I may go with Gira. |
I think I went with male on my last playthrough (at least on White), so I'll be going female on this one. And as always, I'll be using my name.
|
going to go with the female and going to name her Amy like always.
|
The girl, just like every game since Crystal. But I'll especially enjoy doing it this time because she just looks so awesome.
|
I'll choose the girl so I can use the OT Luna in 5th generation ^^ Woot, I like the design. I'm not sure if this will be in Black 2 or White 2, but since I plan on getting both the other will probably be male.
|
Ill be picking the girl...as I am a girl...
I don't think she has the best design, but at least shes better than Lyra. Lyra looks like a stupid hipster wannabe. Kris FTW... Anyway, if there is enough room, Ill be naming her Plasmette. If not, Irony. |
The female! She's absolutely adorable!
I'll name her either Touko; her official name if I like it; or Reira (Because everyone calls her Leia but I hate the name Leia for personal reasons, but Leia says sounds like Layla would would translate to Reira in Japanese). |
Im choosing the girl character as I always do, I never really like the male Player characters much, it dosent matter, Im a girl so naturally want to play as a girl.
|
I'm really not sure... I don't particularly like either of the designs, but I'm leaning a little towards the guy. I probably won't decide until I get the game and then I'll spend like twenty minutes trying to think of a name, haha.
|
Boy playing girl cuz she looks awesome, and the boy looks silly.
Maybe name her Zena, my White Boy is named Zeus. |
I wish the boy didn't have that hair. It's all good except that. The girl's skirt seems out of place, too, but it's not as weird as the boy's hair so I'll go with the girl.
I'll come up with a name when I get the game. |
I am a boy, and so shall be playing as the boy, as I always do.
And I shall name him after myself, as I always do. |
I'm definitely choosing the girl protagonist. I rarely ever pick the boy. I haven't decided on the names yet.
|
I'm gonna go with the Male Trainer, as I always do, and name him my real-life name- Tyrese
if not, i'll go back to naming him Ash, but i haven't done that since Platnuim lol |
Even though I'm a boy myself, judging by the appearance I will be choosing the girl again! If I get the other version later in the year I'll choose the boy obviously.
|
Boy Named John Rival Zel and Oshawott Because I Choosed Snivy In White and Tepig Seems Useless To Me
|
I will get the female player, and naming it my own name. I will choose Oshawott or Snivy.
|
I'll most likely be the girl in White and the boy in Black. I'll be naming the boy Neo, as that's been that way since Ruby. As for the girl, either Effie or Santana.
I feel like I'll have more fun playing as the girl, I do prefer her. |
I know this isn't quite the question that you asked, but I think that the games should include a few more trainer sprites to choose from. Or, maybe a simplistic character customization. The hero/heroine sprites usually look like generic trainers. I have to admit though, the female hero is much more interesting than most previous heroine sprites. However, words that come to mind when I look at the male sprite for this game are: dweeb, dork, and nerd. So, even though I am male, I think I would rather go with the female hero.
|
I'm going to choose the dude, for I am a dude, and I shale name him Will, for I am a Will.
I find the male sprite's hair pretty odd lol but I like him a lot more then the guy from the original BW |
Going to choose the male, because I am a male.
I shall name him Mike, because that is my name. Yerp. |
i would be the boy, cos i am one :)
and call him Jamie, cos that's my name. I will be happy if they let you change your rival's name, because then i can call him something rude. italways gave me a bit of a thrill in pokemon red when it said "Boober want's a battle" muhahaha.... |
I typically play as a male in all my games, but for B2/W2 I just might play as the girl because I don't like the male characters design
|
I'll pick the female like I do in -almost- every game, but instead of naming her some name I usually do I'm going to name her Charles. And if I don't do that I'm going to name my starter Charles. Either way Charles shall be somewhere in that game, because no Pokemon game in my possession will go without the Charlesvasion.
|
which ever one i get first, if not both, i will probably choose the girl, and name her kaylee, which is what i wanna name my first daughter lol
|
I will 99% be the girl, I'm sure of it. Love her design the most. As for a name, I'll probably use my girlfriends name or something, haha.
|
I'm going to buy both games so I will be male in one, and female in the other. I'm male, so I'll name it after myself. As for the female, I'm not sure, some name will just come to me I hope. But the girl does have a better design.
|
I will choose Female and I'll name her Shay. I could choose Male and name him Jake. Meh... I'll just choose Female...
|
I like how the poll of this thread keeps at an equal constant. Both are the protagonists are cool! I'd choose the male without a doubt if I was a guy, even if the female's design looks better. I love the male protagonist's hair. :[ Great to see that there's a tie between them.
But since I'm a female and the better looking just goes in favor of my gender, I'm choosing her. 8) |
I'm choosing male as always (I never have played the opposite) When I first saw his hair I coudn't help but laugh!
Anyways I'll probably name him either after myself or my username... Then again, I might call him Adam, its always the name I come up with when I can't decide :P |
I really, really, really wish that the guy with the black jewfro was the male protagonist instead of the dolt that they chose. Seriously, a capri and leggings on a male protagonist? That's not at all transsexual. I'll choose him, though, simply so I can name him Frank, after Frank N. Furter, the "Sweet Transvestite".
I prefer the female protagonist, though, in terms of looks. The guy with the jewfro is beast, though, too bad he's the rival instead of the protagonist. |
I'll use the rivals default name, but I'll play as the female, and likely will name the file Sho, as per all of my others. xD; Unless I like her Japanese / English canon name enough to use one of them instead of my own name.
c-c-c-combo breaker on the poll. Girl 30 Boy 29 >w> |
Male, and name him Zach because that's my real name. I'll chose tepig or snivy cuz those are my favorite of the two
|
I'll be choosing the guy, because I am a guy and never pick otherwise :P I actually like his hair as well, think it's a bit different :) I'll be calling him Mikey as well, after me of course!
|
Well, the way it's gone with most generations is: I'd pick the boy to start with, and then at some point in the future, play it through again as a girl.
Though, looking at the two new characters, I'm not exactly jumping for joy over the new male character's design. Just... ugh. So I may just end up picking the girl first this time. As for the starter, it'll either be Snivy or Tepig. |
Boy in Black 2 and girl in White 2, I think. That's what I did with the originals, anyway...
|
I have a strong feeling I'll be playing as a girl for the first time in the series. I just can't stand the boy's hat/hair. Who knows, though. Hopefully it'll grow on me. If I'm playing as a boy, he'll have my name (Ant, short for Anthony :\,) if I'm playing as a girl, she'll be called Mizuki.
|
It'll be the boy as always despite appearance. I always give the male protagonist my real name in all my files. As for starters it's Snivy, because despite being weak against the new Poison type gym leader, it's strong against the other newcomer.
|
snivs again for me. i cant get over grass starters. such a crutch in my pokemon team all throughout the game. and i tried being female in black but it didnt change anything so im going male in the new one.
|
"I'ma dude,
playin a dude, disguised as another dude!" And I will probably name him after myself. |
Well, I love the girl protagonist. So totally choosing the girl. :D
I haven't decided on the name juuust yet. I named myself Megan in White, so maybe I'll be different and call myself Tasia...a variation of the name Anastasia. or if I'm obsessed with the Hunger Games still I'll name my character Primrose or Katniss. xD |
The guy, merely because I've chiefly played as the guy for all of my life. The girl is better in terms of design, though.
|
I will be a boy cause i am a boy and i will name myself George cause that is my name.
|
I liked the boys sprite,So I'd choose him.
|
I've always gone with the male character in the past, so I'll be keeping that tradition alive. I guess the reason for that is because I myself am male and so it only feels right. In all honesty, though, the boy is probably my least favourite of the male protagonists whereas the girl is my favourite of the female protagonists. That's not to say I don't like him, either... just his hair.
|
I'm going to be the boy just because I've always been the boy in every Poke'mon game since the original GameBoy.
|
Black2 male
White2 female Thats how I did it for B and W |
i always play with a boy first and i will choose boy
|
I cannot choose but should do it,Black 2 with Male and White 2 Female,Reason is None.
|
I will pick the girl, since I'm a girl, and name her after myself.
|
As always I 'll pick the female (only in leafgreen and firered I picked the boys)
and her namwill be Tanya ( my boyfriend mother's name -strange I know but I like it so much :P) or Linda ( I don't know why but this name came to my mind as soon as I saw her) |
Even though I'm a girl, I've mostly played as the male in the past pokemon games save for Pearl and Soul Silver. I actually really love the male's design, even though the girl's really cute. Don't have a thought on the name though, or what starter I'll choose this time.
|
I said I would choose the female, but I didn't give what name I would give her. I'll probably call her either "Lisa" or "Ashley," as they've been my go-to names lately. I'm probably going to go with "Lisa" since I was "Ashley" in White.
|
Male protagonist named Tj. Because in my life, I am a male protagonist named Tj.
I always tell myself I'll pick the female character or give myself a cool name, but I never do. Oh well. |
The girl because she's got a cool design. As for names, I'm torn between Haruka, Hayfa or Haruhi.
|
I'll chose the male protagonist since I'm a guy and name him Shivi. Why? Because that's just the way I've always done it.
I won't be afraid to admit that the female protagonist has a far better design though! |
Well, if you knew me. I always choose girls, even though I'm a guy. :) I guess you can say I always fall for the attraction!
But I always named all my girls, 'Sector' but this time I may go differently. I am probably going to name her Octavia just because that name is BEAUTIFUL! If I were to get both, Black and White, I'd choose female again but named her either Dhianeilaor Tohsaka. Beautiful names, in my opinion! |
Girl since I always pick the females (being female)... but the name's kind of foggy for me atm. >: I'll probably go with my real name or "Sheep" since I find that to be pretty adorable and have never used it before. There's lots of real worlds that I think would make fitting names for the character, so I can only wait and see what I end up going with.
|
I am going to be male because... I have always been male in the games, so why break the chain now? XD |
Picking the female for once! I actually prefer the female protagonist than the male. Shocking, isn't it? She has a cute design and I feel like she expresses how I am. Wear whatever the hell you want. lol I'll name her Alli or Allison because that's my favorite girl name.
|
Im ALWAYS a guy and it gets kinda boring, i'm going to switch it up a bit
|
I only choose the girl character on replays. Otherwise I always go with the boy since, well, since I'm a boy :P As for name, I usually just use my real name for the sake of ease.
|
Quote:
Maybe it's time to switch things up a bit. After nearly 15 years of playing as a male character, a little genderbending might be good for me, for whatever reason. It certainly might add a new perspective on the game. As for names, I normally just choose the default one; not creative enough to think of any, and my real name normally breaches the character limit. Having said this, I'll probably forget the above and choose the male character out of default. Sigh... |
I will pick the female Trainer as I am female in reality.
As for her name, I will continue naming her Nichole (my real name). I will never use male Trainers in my main playthrough, the only things I genderbend with are avatars/signatures. Since my days of Ruby, I have always picked female and they usually look better than the male. |
Picking the girl. Her hair kind of looks like sheep horns, so I approve. Probably going to name her Latte or Frappe like I normally do~
|
I will also be picking the male for my main game in B2W2, it's name will either be my real name, or TheGr8. It depends on how I feel when I start the game, maybe I'll pick the girl in my other version of the game, I usually tend to do that so I can switch it up a bit.
|
I'm planning to pick the male character, since I do it so well in real life. ;)
|
I'm going to pick girl because I hate boy's hat... And she has lovely sprite.
btw, isn't she similar to Princess Leia? |
I'm gonna go with the guy, but knowing me, I'll probably start the game all over after a certain amount of time and pick the girl.
|
In Black 2 I'll play through as a girl because I am a girl. And since I played as the boy in Black I want to do the opposite.
In White 2 I'll play as a boy because I played as a girl in White. |
Female for sure. The name is undecided.
|
Per personal tradition, I'll play as the boy and name myself Bwburke for my "real" run and Bwb94 for my "challenge" run.
|
Girl because I am a girl, and her name will be Alika. I was Zaphora in the last game so I'm trying something new.
|
The guy of course. I guess Cosmo will be his name. I don't even know why.
|
I'm definitely picking female character because her sprite is just lovely! I'm going to name her Camilla (like I always do for female characters) because it's the name of Gonzo's hen :3
|
The boy coz I'm a boy probarly name him Dash.
|
Female, because I am female and name - Gina because i can't fit my full name in (Georgina)
|
I always pick my own gender and call her my name :) The only games I don't do this in is the Gold/Silver series cause I love Gold lol :)
