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)

Asuf April 17th, 2012 2:42 PM

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

Atomic Pirate April 17th, 2012 3:20 PM

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.

Kano Shuuya April 17th, 2012 3:46 PM

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>

war rock exe April 18th, 2012 8:08 AM

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

Roughsponge April 18th, 2012 9:31 AM

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!

Theta Rex April 18th, 2012 9:41 AM

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.

Pachireecko April 18th, 2012 10:27 AM

Boy in Black 2 and girl in White 2, I think. That's what I did with the originals, anyway...

antixx April 18th, 2012 11:40 AM

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.

DarkWolf13 April 18th, 2012 6:23 PM

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.

apahllo April 18th, 2012 9:04 PM

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.

S.N.I(SanityNOTIncluded) April 19th, 2012 6:38 AM

"I'ma dude,
playin a dude,
disguised as another dude!"

And I will probably name him after myself.

Meganium April 19th, 2012 2:54 PM

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

NeoPsychedelia April 19th, 2012 7:38 PM

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.

Polizard April 19th, 2012 10:04 PM

I will be a boy cause i am a boy and i will name myself George cause that is my name.

Sodapop April 20th, 2012 2:40 PM

I liked the boys sprite,So I'd choose him.

Joshawott April 20th, 2012 2:44 PM

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.

Venks April 20th, 2012 5:10 PM

I'm going to be the boy just because I've always been the boy in every Poke'mon game since the original GameBoy.

Ginji April 21st, 2012 12:23 AM

Black2 male
White2 female

Thats how I did it for B and W

Avishka April 21st, 2012 12:26 AM

i always play with a boy first and i will choose boy

GatlingIza April 21st, 2012 5:43 AM

I cannot choose but should do it,Black 2 with Male and White 2 Female,Reason is None.

Mentalii April 21st, 2012 6:53 AM

I will pick the girl, since I'm a girl, and name her after myself.

Huggie April 21st, 2012 6:55 AM

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)

Lancelot-sama! April 21st, 2012 12:21 PM

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.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ April 21st, 2012 1:15 PM

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.
