As is typical for every new main series Pokemon game, new player character designs are revealed, whether they be redone versions of old characters or new characters entirely.

What are your thoughts on the new protagonist designs? Which one do you intend to play as?

There's not much to say from what we've seen so far tbh, though I do like the guy's design. Skins + shorts is a cool combo lol. Glad to see they haven't lost their vacant smiles

The guy dresses like me when I'm just chilling in my house :D

Hope they actually get facial animations during cut scenes tho cause if not they need to give us more shades and tinted Glasses XD
Don't be ashamed of what you love... even if other people find it embarrassing or pathetic embrace it... Love what you love, you'll be happier that way.

I think they look very boring tbh haha. The SuMo designs were a lot more interesting.

These don't even look like standardized initial trainer outfits tbqh. They look more like something somebody customized in the game after a while playing.

They don't look drastically different (which is fine by me), but I think I spot two new hairstyles there though.

Not much of a fan tbh, they look very similar to the protagonists in Sun & Moon. At least the female character looks better. Customization will most likely be back anyhow so it's not much of an issue.

Hopefully Game Freak reacted to all the controversy over the S/M protagonist having a lack of emotion so I do hope they learned and will add actual expression in important scenes now.

As for my opinion on these new character designs, they are definitely a step-up from S/M. I will be playing as the female once again as per tradition, but I think she's fast becoming a new favourite protagonist design for me. Not just because of wearing cute short shorts once again, but that new hairstyle reminding me of one of my all-time fave female game protagonists which was Hilda from B/W.

Hilda, eh? I can't really see the resemblance between their hairstyles :/. I mean Hilda wore a ponytail.

Now that I look at it, it is possible that they are Older Versions of the SM ones.

I don't see how they are more childish though, they seem older to me.

To answer, I like this designs way better.
I think the girl for sure looks older but the guy looks pretty young imo

Spoiler:


Notice those pigtail-like things on the sides of her face. They are very similar to the new female protagonist's hair.

Still don't see that much a resemblance. The new girl seems to have braided twin ponytails if you look closely opposed to side bangs. Though maybe it's just because her hair is black and not brown like Hilda's that I can't really see the similarity :/.

I think the more important question we should be asking is:

Are they going to have any reaction other than :) during the whole story???
Hey, they also had an :O face from time to time xD

I'll play as the male as usual. But these designs sort of remind me of BW2 where they kept a lot of facial features from the old protagonist.

I hope so, because these games will have improvements from Sun & Moon and I hope facial expression is one of them. I know the protagonists are meant to be a blank state whose personality is projected by the player, but I still want reactions to be done well.

Interesting you noticed, because the male protagonist wearing leggings under shorts is very much what the design of Nate from B2/W2 had with his outfit as well.

Also: design-wise, I might be in the minority that doesn't see a significant difference. I don't know if those are default outfits or just boring customizations.
They seem to be the default outfits most likely. Hopefully a future trailer can reveal their official artwork so that we can get a better look at them.

Well, their outfit fits really well within the Alola region. I don't see any difference between the protagonists of Sun/Moon.

Omg yes lmao

I mean, the female protagonis isn't wearing a corny hat like the one in SM, so bonus points for that!
I also feel that the new female protagonist's hat fits better with Alola as well compared to Moon's red beanie, so there's that!

For me 6 things are easy in new games

1. Protoganists come from Johto
2. In sorta ways like in Black2/White2 Alola will be expanded
3. Team Skull or Aether Foundation will come back with another bad idea.
4. Necrozma formes are going to be that same way like Kyurem Formes <Good work Corless for testing DNA LINKER PIN>
5. Lillie come back to the Alola after train in Kanto to save region once more.
6. Ultra Beasts become more evil. Especialy Nihilegos.

The new protags look waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy better than the regular ones. I like that the boy doesn't look as bland anymore. The shirt is way better and I like the shorts batter overall. I also like the hat he's wearing as I have the same one and I love it.

The girl looks nice too, I like the hair she has and I like the fact that she has a hat that doesn't look like it came from Glove World....smh. They looker newer and way better to be honest. Hopefully they have facial expressions this time.
Ducolamia^_^
