What would also be cool is if you were able to choose which kind of trainer you wanted to be, IE a bug catcher, cooltrainer, lass, etc.
And thats what your character sprite would be.

Character customization would be limited, but it would make a difference. Being able to choose hair, skin color, clothes etc would make the player feel that much more into the game.
It will probably use sprites but the difference will still be worth having, especially if the graphics are improved more than FR/LG. And player customization is a nice part of the games that are smart enough to include it.
