I went with Hilda in my White, and Rosa in my Black 2. I've generally liked the designs of the female characters in Pokemon more than the males, and I often roll with the female in video games anyway. As for the names, I went with Elsa and Scarlet.

I know that when I first played through White, I used the girl character, I think I named her Tori when I did that. But my current playthrough has me picking the girl again and naming her Katey, in memory of a certain someone (i'm sure a couple of you may know who).

But for my main White 2, I picked the guy and named him Scott, which is my real name. Didn't want to kill that one with an unoriginal or silly name.

In White and Black I went with Hilda and Black 2 and White 2 for Rosa. I really like their designs and charm of the female character rather than the male character.As for the names I named Rina for Black Version,AyaUeto for White Version,Serah for White 2 Version and Claire for Black 2 Version.

I picked the male protagonist in both games when i first played them. Not for a particular reason, but since im a male i always pick the male character when i play through a game for the first time. From there on, i like to pick the female character for 2nd playthroughs/challenges

I picked the male protagonist in both B/B2, and the female one on W/W2.
No special reasons though. ^^

I picked the girl in both Black and Black 2. The reason is because they're cute and it's a general rule I always play as the female character due to me obviously being a girl.
Gone forever for personal reasons.

I picked the girl in B/W since I didn't really like what the guy was wearing, and I picked the guy in B2/W2 because I liked his hair, made him look like Goku xD

Went with Hilbert (ughhhhhhhh) in White and Nate in White 2.

However, I long since erased my White file and re-completed it as Hilda (ugh again), so maybe I'll restart White 2 again and go with Rosa, since most of my Pokémon are in my Y file anyway.

I picked the boy on both BW and B2W2 because I have tendencies to use the characters that matches my gender. I named my BW protag as Hikaru, and B2W2 protag as Windy.

I picked the boy in every version, for no particular reason. I chose the name Dylan in Black, becuase thats my actual name. For W2 I went with Carl, and B2 I went with Sagan - I chose those names because I was reading a book by Carl Sagan when the mail came with my copies of B2/W2 and I'm pretty uncreative, haha.

You can change the names, you know.

I play as the female characters in Pokémon. They're better designed. The guys- especially since gen 4- all kinda look samey.

Really- the only one that stood out is Brendan.

I tend to play as a girl in every game I play for a couple of reasons. One, they tend to be designed better, I mean more care tends to be put into them. The only exception to this IMO is B2/W2, where the male looks so cool. Name-wise? I'm that loser that never thinks of good names so I just name them after the game title. So that would be White, and Black.
Tom Baker was the best one.

When it came to choosing which characters to play as in White and White 2, I went with the male characters. Course I named them both Mando. It got pretty confusing when I used the Memory Link when the past player character's name was mentioned.

I'm always the girl characters. Mainly because I'm a girl myself. xD

But in general, I honestly like the girls' designs better than the guys' so in order for me to switch genders in the game, I'd really have to hate the girl's design or the guy's design would have to be amazing.

Hilda in White and Rosa in Black 2.

Girls all the way because I'm female and I really liked their designs, especially Rosa. Fifth gen had one of the nicest-looking female characters.

Black & White: Female protagonists named Alice and Echo. They're characters from a series called Pandora Hearts.

White 2: Female protagonist named Lilith. She is a character from Borderlands.

I preferred the designs of the females.

I chose both female Protags in White and White 2. Megan and Serena are their names. I actually prefer BW protag over BW2 protag because I looooove her sense of style!

I'm fairly certain that I've played as both in Black and White, though it was originally the male. In Black 2 I went with the girl, because I loved her design - which is odd, because I usually find the guys to have better designs.
