I liked the tough look in the old Gold because it was different from most male roles in the game. Plus, it gave him personality just by the look of him. That is one thing I miss in the new Gold.

They made some give and takes when it comes with the old Gold compared to the new Gold. They gave the old Gold the tougher look, and they gave the new Gold the innocent look. They gave the old Gold the older look, and they gave the new Gold the more 10 year old look. Plus many more give and takes with this too.

The concept art doesnt matter as much. Lets see how the sprite is before making final judgement.

I wished the front bit of his hair was a bit bigger like the original... but everything else I'm cool with. They changed too much of the girl though...

If they made the hair [/in front] bigger than they would have definitely need to raise it more at the bend, ot else it might look a little too long on the new Gold.

One thing I never mentioned, I personally like ht ebag on the new Gold better than the Old Gold. It's more free style, while the old one looked like a solid bag. Anyway, I guess that is what happens when new styles come into play.

The new Gold is so much better. So what if his face makes him look sweet and innocent? His outfit still looks nice. I wouldn't like if they kept the same design of the old gold. (I've seen people make good sprites of him with his old outfit, and I did not like it.) I'm glad they changed it. I really like his new shorts. I wish more male trainers wore shorts instead of pants. xD

I agree, having shorts instead of longer pants is a bit nice for change. Though, if the old Gold was kept the same now but drawn with the new style of art, he would have still had a different apperance than before, even if he kept his old style exactly like how it was 10 years ago.

Well as Nintendo says the graphics would be changed to look like alot in Pokemon Diamond Pearl and Platinum... And they would add some designs in every Town and in every City.

I like the new Gold. Everything about him is in some way or another, better. But if stop and look at them, they look really, really similar. They haven't done much to him anyway.

Of course they look similar they are the same person, except the new Gold just has some new features to him like the game has new features compared to the older version.

I thought the old Gold looked like such a little punk, and I loved it.
But I absolutely love the new Gold's design. Those new shorts are love<333

Either way, old Gold would win in a fight. I don't mean a pokemon battle, I mean a ligit fight. But I still prefer the new version.

I wouldn't say the old Gold was short and fat, he was more bulky as in they brought out his muscular look in him more than what they did now.

He isn't scrawny, you can't really classify it as that seeing as how Sugimoro's style of art has changed over the years. Before, when it came to drawing the hero of the game he would put more detail into their look and shape of the body, but as time progressed he went more into the style of an anime like drawing making the new Gold look the way he is now. Plus, the new features on him are all part of the modern look they are trying to implement into the remake. For example, the bag he had before, everyone had something like that, but now when you look at people with packs, they are one straped and either across your shoulders or laid arcross your chest like his. Plus, before people would always wear those long socks under their shoes, but now to be more modern people wear the no-show socks to keep up woth the style, and the same goes for the new Gold.

Now, it doesn't depend entirely on the artist, as its the same guy from before. It just depends on what style of art the artist plans on changing to, because if wanted, he could have simply made the old Gold look more realistic now than before, rather than going through the anime look.
