I really want to be able to make the rivals appearance, so I can make him look stupid as possible

I also really want to be able to ditch the hat/sunglasses, I don't like them. That picture suggests maybe we will be able to!

I'll be keeping the sunglasses, they look trés chic
I'll most likely change the jacket for a hoodie though if that's available.

I'm really digging the glasses and the girls hat so far.
I actually really like the female's outfit in general, but I'm glad i'll be able to give the male a different set of clothes :D

Apologies if this has been asked before, but in regards to the hair colour and skin tones, can you mix and match them? For example, could I have the pale skin, but with the brown hair? Or would it have to be kept blonde? I hope there isn't a restriction and it can be mixed up. I'm really pleased with the customisation feature added but I'll be disappointed if you can't mix it around a bit.

Nope, in regards to skin and hair colour, you only have 3 choices

I wasn't all that excited about X and Y at first, but now that the 3D-ness has grown on me, and I know I can also make a character of color... I'm sold.

Atleast everyone's character will look slightly different! I'm pretty content with the default appearance of both protagonists but I may change up the appearance slightly.

I feel like I will be spending a lot of time making my trainer look just right. And that's going to be even worse if we can customise our rivals. Although, I think the rivals will either have a random appearance, or that it will change depending on how you've customised your own character.

Part of me feels like it would be wrong to play without some form of headgear as a Pokémon protagonist, though.

I'm just so happy that there's a main character who's blonde (by default).

I was waiting soooo longer. Seriously.

- Leaf [Brunette]
- Crystal [Black Hair]
- May [Brunette]
- Dawn [Blue Hair]
- Lyra [Brunette]
- Hilda [Brunette]
- Rosa [Brunette]

And now, finally, finally! T.T There's a blonde!

And I take it's because they've actually left Japan and went for their fanfave country, France, where they believe people are all blonde, blue-eyed and gorgeous :P They just saved the best for their fanboy country.

A little late on this, but I actually love the new protagonists a lot! Especially the girl; she gives a fresher look compared to the previous female protagonists. And character customization! I might have to get a 3DS after all haha.

The characters look much older though in my opinion, they could easily be 16. Also their appearance looks more European. Hmm.

I don't think they look that much older than previous trainers?

These protags are obviously teenagers though, just look at the size of em, here's a gif showing their sizes compared to Lucas, with heads all the same size.

I like the fact that they're older than previous protagonists, I suppose it can target more of the teenage market.

I kind of said this already, but that would definitely cover why the other protagonist was shown wearing different clothing in this screenshot. If they have interactions with the player then it'd make sense that they might randomly have different customization options for them as well!

I can see a system not unlike Pokemon yellow, where certain battles you win or lose effect the outcome of Eevee's evolution, only it would probably be dependant on questions the rival would ask you.

But the rival is not the opposite-gendered protagonist (OGP). They may play a small role, but BW & BW2 both only used the OGP on the Battle Subway. That's not to say that this can not change, but obviously Nintendo didn't back away from that format at all in BW2, and I see no reason to expect the OGP having more significance in this game.

I'm sticking with my co-op theory. I may be wrong but maybe if people start talking about it Nintendo will patch it in there last minute. lol

Patching in co-op last minute would suck... I'd rather them have developed co-op from the start so its implemented everywhere, but if it is a last minute patch I guess they will have community feedback.

Maybe we can get unique clothing in a pokecash shop that gives us random items everyday and using SpotPass, we will be able to share clothing choices with others (they can buy the same things you can that day). I mean, SpotPass has to be in there for something, why not clothing? Maybe a new evolving mechanic is built into SpotPass (which sucks for us with nobody nearby that has it). I guess that is getting off topic a bit... Someone start a SpotPass thread. xD

Idk why but Crystal's hair always looked more blue to me and Dawn's looked more black with blue highlights...

Spoiler:

That is quite a difference in size, i didn't think it would be that much!
I guess they might be somewhat older then, but they'll still be around 16/17
