I'm torn. I love the bow, but she'd look more professional with gloves.
|
Seeing that Hoenn is a tropical region, I would have to pick the new design because it makes the most sense. Plus it looks overall cuter than the old outfit.
|
I like better her old design as it's more iconic to me.
|
Well, setting aside my bias toward Sugimori's older art style for its nostalgic look, the strangest thing about the original May (apart from her absurd hip-waist ratio, though every female protagonist shares that) was always how straightly her hair jutted out. The new May is far more proportional especially in that regard, and so as there's nothing peculiar about her appearance, I'd say I prefer the new one. Her shorts are also less confusing, which is nice.

I prefer the older version. The older version is what we used to see.. and we grow up seeing may like this. Oh well.. am I..

Old May, but Emerald May is much better.
|
i prefer the new version.
|
i also prefer the new version.. especially her hair bow :)
|
I'd go with ORAS May all the way. It looks 3x better than the original May. Actually I never knew what all the fuss was about with the R/S/E May, i'd consider this one to be the definitive version.
|
I don't really have that much of a preference, but new May's bow looks pretty cute in my opinion so I'll vote for her!
|
The original May is my favorite female protaganist, so I've grown quite used to that design. Both the RS and Emerald outfits were sporty, had a cycling/running theme and seemed quite tomboy like to me. I was excited to see her remake outfit be something simular atleast. Her bandana was just iconic, it's like Ash's cap. He may have different ones, but they are all the same kind of thing. Not bandana, to ribbon.
Plus, Pokespe's Sapphire is a pretty big tomboy. I really can't see her wearing this. The RS/E outfits fit her so well too. And two pairs of shorts doesn't really seem logical. lol :S But, atleast it's still the same May. Not like Kris to Lyra (again, tomboy to cutesy though) Hope we can change the clothing to something simular to the RS/E outfits. :) |

Old one by far. More used to the tomboyish design due to the manga.
Now she just looks like a generic cute loli to me. |
I hate her new design. I just can't connect with girly-girl protagonists and I want to be able to connect with my player character. Give her the hat back, take away the frills, put her shirt a little higher up because she's what, ten or twelve, and I might like her. Maybe I'm just old fashioned on the shirt part, but I hate it when preteen characters wear low cut, form fitting or really revealing outfits. I know the undershirt is there, but May's new shirt is still a little too revealing to me.
|
I've always loved the old May. She was very cute and adventurous. The new May looks too much like a prostitute, in my opinion. Such a downgrade, if you ask me.
|
Older May wins for me. I'm a fan of both designs, but the older version is more iconic and gives a tougher, tomboyish vibe to May which I'm a big fan of. New design is cute and all, but it just doesn't seem right for May imo. I guess it was kinda inevitable since as the generations progress the female character designs have grown from a tomboyish, sporty vibe to a more cutesy kind.
|
Both are good.
|
I prefer old May's design. Her outfit looks cooler. New May and new Brendan look more tropical which makes more sense but I just think their old outfits were cooler overall.
However it isn't to say that I dislike Ken Sugimori's new art style. The new trainer class art looks great. Especially the Battle Girl. |

Anyway, I think I prefer the old May. |

you do know her age right? You pervert! -_- |
I'm gonna say that I love the old design so much better. Sure, the new design is fantastic, but it is no where near as good as the old one. The big reason May was my favourite Poke-girl in the first place was because of her Tom-boyish look, the sporty look. I liked her old bandana and gloves, now those are gone and she wears a girly bow. Plus, they made her really frilly which just kills the sporty look.
They are both great designs on their own, but the old design fits the May that I came to know and love, the new one just takes away from that. |
I prefer her older design. She looks more adventure ready.
The newer design doesn't look like somebody who'd be trekking through all kinds of terrain. Granted Serena is pretty much in the same boat design wise. |
I always liked the original May. She was so badass looking with that bandanna and the gloves. The new May is still alright with me, but now she looks so cutesy and just idk not as cool. Makes me sad :(
