Well, I have no problem picking the opposite gender if the character design is good ( female in FR and LG), but the girl's design is terrible. I don't even like what they did to the male but, still gunna pick him.
I'll be picking Gold in Soul Silver since that will be my main game, and the new girl whenever I get Heart Gold. In all honestly, I'm not too happy with her design.
If I'm only getting one of the games, I'll just stick to the boy character; however, if I get both, I will play as Gold in HeartGold and the girl in SoulSilver.
I'm playing as the boy. For one thing, "Astinus" is a male name. Also, the boy is who I remember the most from my days of playing Silver. He's my favorite of the protagonists from all the mainstream handheld games, so it'll be great to play as him again in SoulSilver.
Since I'm getting both games, I'll sometimes play as the female in HeartGold, but the boy's gonna be my main choice.
I am so dissapointed that Kris isn't in the game. She was my favorite character in all the games... But I guess I'll play as Gold, because his new design is soo cute!!

I'll definitely be the girl.
Mainly.. well... I'm a girl. Plus, it's always easier for me to think up girl names than guy names when I play something. I just hope her sprite doesn't look awful. D:

I don't knowww... it sucks!! this girl's design is terrible, but I ALWAYS play girls in my games. I like girls better, mainly because I am a girl. But I got SO SO SO annoyed by the Poketch on DP, because it was pink. And now it looks like the girl pokegear will be pink in the new game, and I'm going to be annoyed to death. T.T
I'll be playing the chick in Heart Gold and the dude in Sould Silver. I generally play as my own gender and Soul Silver will be my main game :P
The chick is cool so she gets to be played on Heart Gold :]
Pick whatever looks better. In DPPt obviously I chose Dia like in RSE Saph. Yes I found saph better then Ruby. Anyway whatever looks better. Gold seems to have a nice hat thing going and if his hair flows a bit when running cool. But the girl if she looks like a big round white thing running around and the hat goes back a little like its running then her for sure.
I'll be picking Gold aka the male trainer for the simple reason that I am a guy. Also, overall, Gold has always been my favorite lead trainer out of all the games.
