Be truthful now...
 
I've been hearing complaints all over the web about the Male trainer looking strange and unappealing. Its so bad, that some of my male friends have made themselves girls because they think its THAT BAD.

Be truthful now! Luckally I'm a girl, so I didn't have to worry about it though.

Truthfully I almost did that to, but I'm already a girl on pokemon ranger (XDD) so.....

Do you mean the male trainer sprites?

Chikara April 24th, 2007 2:07 PM

No, I mean the guy who you walk around as. If you wanna call him a sprite, then go ahead. It isnt like I know anything about that stuff XD

Ichida April 24th, 2007 2:14 PM

So he has a damned beret, people. Don't be racist. <.<;

I think I know what you're talking about now! XD

Yeah, the male trainer looks like some pansy stereotypical Frenchmen with that berett (no disrespect to our French friends!;)).

I wish there would be another option for the male and female sprites, like the ability to change clothes. Maybe we'll get that in the 3rd game in the series, Opal or whatever. Brendan in R/S/E looked cool, Gold in G/S/C looked cool and will look cool in 3D ;) (hint, hint), and Red was cool in R/B/Y/FR/LG. But this guy...not so much. :tired:

You need to learn the definition of the word "racist."

I think the male protagonist looks very old fashioned and not very appealing. I'd still choose to be him, but I think he's the worst design of all the generation protagonists.

No one is being racist here ¬¬

ChrisG14 April 24th, 2007 2:20 PM

Like I said, I mean no disrespect to our French friends, but berets aren't really that appealing in the states. At least not to me, but hopefully my cool name and good team will make up for his uncoolness! ;)

.Bastion April 24th, 2007 2:25 PM

I like the design of the Rival more. If only you
could've selected to be him. DX

Well, I was kind of tempted to pick the female sprite,
but I eventually got used to the guy.

Mr.Altosax April 24th, 2007 2:30 PM

I think the rival looks more creepy. The only problem with the boy is the oversize/strangely shaped beret. Other than that his clothes are fine.

Mr. E April 24th, 2007 2:35 PM

imo there's honestly nothing wrong with the sprite. In fact, I think it's better than R/S/E's male sprite and better than FR/LG's blocky thing.

I, for one, chose the male character, and I'm proud of it. xP

Ho-oh arabia April 24th, 2007 2:41 PM

I'm the guy, but i'm not crazy about it. I almost picked girl over boy. And CALM DOWN! nobody's racist! we're just discussing the sprite!

Absolitude April 24th, 2007 2:46 PM

To me he looks pretty cool. Know i know why guys pick the girl so much. The guy doesn't look bad to me, the hat is even kinda good looking. Though the girl does look kinda cool too. But i think i'll stick with the guy.

Hippo April 24th, 2007 2:56 PM

Does anyone have a picture of the two characters?
I saw one once, but i forget where.

I think i remember the guy as kinda lame, but if I go for the girl, i'd need a good name =P

I chose to be Hikari, didnt really like the look of Kouki or whatever his name was xD. Also I like Hikari ^_^

Mclarenf1905 April 24th, 2007 8:24 PM

yea does guy does look like a tool, but i guess theres nothing you can do about that unfortunately.

Arcanine April 24th, 2007 8:36 PM

I thought about going with Dawn/Hikari, but I went with the boy because the professor asked if I was a boy or a girl. XD

I don't like the boy's hat, it just looks...... well strange.

doesn't matter April 24th, 2007 8:43 PM

I never liked the boy's (Lucas) design, and the overworld sprite is just fugly, which isn't helped by the abnormally large heads the sprites have. So I'm also considering choosing Dawn, but chances are I'll just stick with the guy.

I do like the male ranger sprite, and the detective one XD;

Shiny_Latios April 24th, 2007 11:36 PM

well when we can rom hack D/P we shold try and change the overworlds as a patch just for those who want D/P without that annoying hat.

me though i am fine with it so i fo with it anyway also your rival does look weired

LawLessChaoz April 24th, 2007 11:48 PM

He looks just like the other males witha different hat. The sprites are just very bad.

Richard Lynch April 25th, 2007 3:11 AM

I don't think it's THAT bad... he wears a little driving hat. Although he doesn't drive. Or he's just French. One or the other.

I think the characters in general (the little ones that actually walk around) are just bad. They look like Cabbage-Patch Kids; their heads are huge compared to the rest of their body! Same way it was in FR/LG.

Speaking of this, if you want a Nintendo cameo... trade between Emerald and FR/LF (the FR/LG cart has to be a male), and when you're in the trading room, look at the FR/LG character from the Emerald perspective... it's Mario! hahaha

martijn April 25th, 2007 3:43 AM

I've got no problem with the male sprite, perhaps because I watch Mythbusters alot on Discovery :) Jamie, one of the program's hosts wears one ;)

J April 25th, 2007 3:44 AM

I chose the girl.

Well, I was bored. D:

Cherrim April 25th, 2007 10:02 AM

Lol, for once I'm glad I'm a girl since I really like the girl's design but...hate the guy's. I don't even know what it is, but something about the male design really puts me off. I was considering choosing him up till I saw him, too. :[ And I do have a few friends who went with the female gender just so they wouldn't have to play as the guy. XD;
