5th Gen What do you think of the New Characters?

[-Grayscale-]

I like all of the new characters, honestly... except for the male protagonist. I refuse to let his hair grow on me... lol

I love how they changed the old characters to look more mature, and gave Elesa a new attractive look since she is a model.

I like the look of the new protagonists and rival for the most part. The only thing I don't really like is that the new protagonists wear visors, and yet that's such a small detail I'll probably forget about it by the time the game releases. Everyone else looks great though! Cheren and Bianca's new looks are cool and even the Akuroma guy looks interesting.

not a fan of Hihihiroshi or Black2 to be honest
at least he gets a better rival theme

playing as White2 in both games

 

[Ho-Oh]

Yeah that actually makes a lot of sense, since she's most likely constantly travelling around and doing modeling work etc.

Is it just me or was anyone else less impressed with the design of the rival in the video than they originally were? I didn't really like him at first but he looks less appealing now. :x

I thought he would be a mean Silver-like rival, but turns out his mysterious looks are just for show. :/ still I think he's cool, only he looked kind of cartoony in the animated trailer.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Yeah, I'm kinda let down that apparently once again we're NOT getting a rival who takes an antagonistic role...

 

[moon]

Plus, he's named Hihihiroshi. I'm hoping that you can name him, like in Kanto and Sinnoh, because I DON'T want to name him that.

 

[Zapperz]

i love it, especially Elesa! sad that you cant play as rival's sprite tho

Yeah I said that in my previous post.

It looks like we'll be getting Plasma admins. I like their new look.

I still really like his appearance! u_u;

We still don't know a lot about the rival even still, though. Maybe one of the evil team members changes his perspective in the games later on, and he unintentionally takes on the role of an antagonist. I don't know, the trailer didn't change my impression on the rival at all. He still seems pretty cool to me!

Plus, he's named Hihihiroshi. I'm hoping that you can name him, like in Kanto and Sinnoh, because I DON'T want to name him that.

Haha, it's like Hihidaruma. :B

 

[SolarAbusoru]

why do people not like the rival's attitude, I find it awesome that for once we have the aggressive rival on our side as our best friend, means he's more willing to fight alongside you and pretty much obliterate anything with your help.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Well the rival doesn't seem any less cool to me. Actually the trailer made me like him more. He seems tough and friendly at the same time rather than the jerkish Silver and Blue...

 

[Zayphora]

Speaking of plasma admins, did you notice that with the ninja lady, that's what, our third female team admin with red hair? Ariana, Mars,and now her. And I can't remember if there were any in gen3. Why the red hair fetish, GAMEFREAK?

 

[SolarAbusoru]

What's wrong with red hair?
Btw, 3 women with red hair =/= Fetish

 

[Zelda]

Hah I actually think Pokémon games lack trainers and characters with red hair (and I want more!). :[ I really like Plasma's new uniforms though. Better than the old ones.

Also I never mentioned Elesa's new look, but it's amazing. I'm glad that GameFreak has changed her design like many of us wanted. Though I'm not so sure about the outfit.

Elesa — Blonde or Brunette?

Many of you may have seen the animated trailer for Black and White 2 and so accordingly have probably seen Elesa's new look, but which do you like more — her older one or newer one? Why?

Personally, I like her blonde look more as I find it suits her personality more and, well... she is an electric-type gym leader, so... 'nuff said? :laugh:

 

[SolarAbusoru]

Just one thing, Brunette means Brown hair, Elesa had Black, and yes I prefer her with Black hair, defines her face more

Oh. She looked more brunette to me. I'll change it. Thanks for the input!

 

[SolarAbusoru]

I like Elesa's new outfit, it's not as um...confusing as her previous one, plus I love that scouter headphone combo

 

[Xander Olivieri]

I agree with Solar, her hair is too dark to be brown, its definitely black unless we get a better scan.
