Who are you going to play as?

[Angelroid]

I'm playing as a male.

 

[§acred†Beo!]

I am going to be playing as the female and will be naming her "Sly".

Usually start with the male character for the first couple playthroughs, but they made the female protagonist just too damn cute this time; the adorable Z-move dances are really hard to resist.

I'll be playing as a female. My name will probably be Luna in-game since that's what I went by in ORAS as well.

 

[PeePi Coming S.]

I'll be playing as the dude since from what I've seen in some of the promotional materials and leaks, he may finally get some decent clothing options for once, unlike the Kalos counterpart.

 

[Vidxad]

Male because I'm a male, I've never really considered playing as the female.

 

[longlostsoldier]

Both.

They don't really ever have third gender options in these games.

 

[Illusionss]

When I saw the title I thought there was an option to play as different characters or something

 

[Iron Tiff]

Girl for both. Old habit dies hard... lol

 

[Lusamine]

I might wait to decide. Since customisation is back, if the male character gets some good clothes this time I might use him. I'll probably play as a girl again though...

 

[Pyrax]

I'm planning on choosing chicken-chan the female protag, simply because her design is actually quite cute. Gamefreak really amped the moe factor this gen.

 

[Snorl.ax]

As a Snorlaxman

 

[εcho.]

Female, both because I am female and I really like the female character design this generation (also, so excited for customization again!). I usually play as a girl because I just feel like I can immerse myself in the game more easily.

I also find the male character this gen to be really... boring for some reason, I dunno.
