That's what I thought; I interpreted these 2 Pokémon Trainers as Elio (Sun) and Selene (Moon) (alternate-story versions of them, at least..) until further notice.. The male character looks bland again (sigh..) and resembles Nate a bit too much.. The female character, yet again, has a nicely-designed outfit and looks so cute! {<3} And her white shorts are hawt..! The girl's hairstyle is also nicely done - it resembles Whitlea's/Hilda's hairstyle while still being unique in its own right and distinctive from all the other female player characters' hairstyles..
Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to the "Pokémon female player characters have better designs than the male ones" idea, but it seems to be getting true with every passing core series Pokémon game.. The last male player character original design that I really liked was Brendan of Hoenn (the original outfits from Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire and Pokémon Emerald, and interpreting the white stuff on his head as hair rather than a knit cap/hat), and the last redesign I really liked was Ethan of Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver.. Damion/Lucas (Pokémon Diamond/Pearl), Blake/Hilbert (Pokémon Black/White), and Nate (Pokémon Black 2/White 2) had decent designs, but Calem (Pokémon X and Y) and Elio (Pokémon Sun/Moon) are getting to be a bit too generic..}
