The Protagonists
 
So who do you think the protagonists are going to be? Do you think Brendan and/or May would make a comeback in these games, or do you think Game Freak is going to develop new heroes for these games?

The Doctor May 7th, 2014 11:09 AM

If it's a remake then it'll be Brendan and May.

It might have character customization like X and Y did, so you start off looking like Brendan or May then have the chance to change what you look like.

If it's new games then it'll be new protagonists you can definitely customize.

I would like to see them return if it's new games, perhaps as the Champion?

I'd say Brendan/May, with these games having Ruby & Sapphire in their title then I'd suspect that the main protagonists will remain the same as they did in the originals.

Wobbu May 7th, 2014 11:18 AM

I would like them to be Brendan and May but at the same time I also want a whole new story. I'm thinking that the games aren't remakes but rather sequels taking place during a later time. If that actually is the case, then the chances of having new protagonists seems very likely. If the games are remakes, however, then I think Brendan and May are guaranteed to be the protagonists.

Probably gonna keep Brendan/May, I don't really see a reason to change them.

According to Omaga Rudy & Alpha Sapphire's trailer -

Quote:

"The new titles promise to take players through a dramatic story within a spectacular new world."

Since The trailer talk about a Spectacular new world so the protagonist might be new too .
May & Rosa is by far the cutest ! I wonder we will be ever cuter girl then her.
She might appear in Anime as a rival .

JP May 7th, 2014 11:35 AM

I think they'll be new characters, and hopefully they run into Brendan/May along the way.

classiccartoonsftw May 7th, 2014 11:40 AM

I personally hope they bring May back. I was really disappointed with Lyra in Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver; I like Kris/Marina way more.

MusikMaestro May 7th, 2014 11:43 AM

I'd say we'll get the same choices as in X and Y, but for Brendan and May;

Pale Brendan with Blond Hair under his hat/ Pale blond May.

Original Brendan/ Original May.

Dark skinned Brendan/ May with dark hair.

eeveeandmew May 7th, 2014 11:50 AM

I personally think they should both be your rivals, and have X/Y styled player customization.

Aquacorde May 7th, 2014 11:55 AM

I like eeveeandmew's idea actually. If not that, then I'd like the base model of the protags to be Brendan and May with additional customization options.

If neither of those happen, I'd like to see them make a cameo somewhere. Maybe one as Birch's assistant/replacement and the other as Petalburg Gym Leader depending on how far into the future these are.

Olli May 7th, 2014 12:03 PM

Going from my idea of the games taking place in a different time frame, I'm gonna say a new protagonist with customization like what we saw in XY, considering how well received that feature was. If it turns out to be remakes, then obviously May and Brendan will be the default characters, most likely with the ability to customize them, but so far I'm not really counting on that happening.

Brendino May 7th, 2014 12:45 PM

I truly hope that they bring Brendan and May back, and give them an expanded role throughout the game, instead of having them show up for just half the game, and then pass the rival duties off to Wally for one battle.

At the very worst, if they aren't coming back, at least give our new protagonists the option of using some of the clothes that Brendan/May used when we customize our trainers.

NiirB May 7th, 2014 12:51 PM

Just going to throw this in and say that I really want them to look something like this *O*

MarioManH May 7th, 2014 12:52 PM

Brendan and May or I burn the game and break my 3DS with a Sledgehammer. I will not be played D:<

antemortem May 7th, 2014 12:58 PM

If it isn't Brendan and May I will be posses beyond belief because I'm soo excited for a more mature looking Brendan. He's always been my favorite protagonist and the only male I've played as besides the obvious Red.

Nah May 7th, 2014 1:01 PM

I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ who the protags are, so long as I get character customization and lots of it.

@NiirB: Where'd you get that picture?

εcho. May 7th, 2014 1:02 PM

I really hope Brendan and May come back in some form or another.
They are definitely among my favourite protagonists of all time.

But what if they're the originals? You must admit their outfits were top as hell

The picture is fanart made over a year ago. I wouldn't mind the protagonists being a little stylish like that, but I welcome the return of customization.

Timbjerr May 7th, 2014 1:05 PM

If my original inclination is true and OR/AS are distant sequels, then we'll probably get original customize-able characters, with Brendan/May being NPCs.

Sure, they had nice outfits. And I'm not saying that it isn't going to be Brendan and May. They very well could be the protags and we can customize them. That's what I really want, character customization (and with a zillion different clothing and accessory options). I usually like it better when I have the option to customize my character's look.

Fair enough, and I can imagine a whole wardrobe of new hats an bandanas for the two kids respectively :3

Legendary_Trainer_Alexandre May 7th, 2014 1:42 PM

They are probably going to be remakes of the orginals, like FR/LG and HG/SS, but I can't deny the possibility that Gamefreak is going to throw us a curveball and make it a sequel, like B2/W2, though that was because of the way B/W was set up with the version exclusive areas, Black City, and White Forest, so they needed to do it like that. Back on topic, I definitely want to have the protags be Brendan and May.

PlatinumDude May 7th, 2014 1:46 PM

I really want May and Brendan to come back; I was caught off-guard when Lyra replaced Crystal in HeartGold/SoulSilver.
