Old Pokemon General(RIP)

[Volvagia]

I really like the female trainer's design. The male one, not so much. And I'm glad that we can change the skin tone and hair colour. (Hopefully there will be more options, though.)

As for the Pokemon, I like all of them except for the bird. The grass one looks especially cool.

 

[Officer Berri]

YES FEMALE TRAINER IS AMAZING. Yes!!! YESSSSS. I love her best player character girl ever since Leaf!

And the pokemon. Oooooh man the pokemon are so cute! The bird is my favorite and then the panda!!

>.< This game is going to be so amazing I need it now!!

Hah, I'm going to have to agree with you here. The male character's hat looks fairly weird, but I still quite like his design. The female trainer is much better by far though, and the Pokemon just look great!

I feel like the male character forgot to take a shower. His hair is all clumpy and seems greasy. I even like Diamond and Pearl's male design better.

I like the panda and the Illuminati Pokemon. They're cute.

as for the trainers, they're ok. I'm not fond of the boy and I usually play as the boy character so I think I'll actually play as a girl this time around. Hopefully I'll be able to change her hair color. It seems that you can only change the hair and skin which is kind of disappointing, I was hoping for more in-depth customization. Who knows, though.

I think I may go get Pokemon Rumble Blast here in the next hour or so. Anyone else playing?

Haven't played it in a while, was a pretty decent title. I probably wouldn't pay full price new though, doesn't feel or play any different than the Wii version.

I'm really happy, because the Female trainer actually looks a lot like me, with the dirty blonde hair and (What looks like to me) gray-blue eyes. And I find it really cool that Pokemon can act as mounts now. It's also really nice that you can customize your hair and skin slightly, it's a start at least. Maybe in a sequel we'll get more fully customizable trainers, where we can change their outfit and hairstyles, too. Also, I actually really like the new bird Pokemon, and the lizard too, to a lesser extent. I'm betting the lizard will get a really cool evolution though, so I can't wait.

So yah, after an internal debate, I decided I was gonna be the female trainer in my dominant version Y. And I will be the ugly male trainer in X. Now I'm having trouble if I should make her blonde or dirty blonde. I'm thinking blonde since I actually wanna use the customization. But the dirty blonde is cuter.

The male trainer doesn't look that bad...

It could be worse, I agree.


But they do seem to be getting worse with every generation.

I posted this on serebii a few hours a go and thought I'd see you lot's opinion on it.

After seeing serebii's home [age update saying the pokedex is separated into mountain, main and coastal segments, does anyone else think we might be able to pick where we start and travel these 3 segments in whichever order we choose, with scalable leveling?
That would be a dream for me seeing as I prefer to replay the game over just training pokemon once completed.

They could also have the 3 possible starting locations correspond to the skin colour, ie. coastal more tanned, mountains as pale. Or if they keep the difficulty option from BW2 have each as a different difficulty and the reordering of the gyms add to the challenge.

I felt the need to list all the trainers from best to worst in Boys and Girls. (All my opinion)

Boys:
1. Hilbert
2. Gold
3. Red
4. Lucas (D/P Design, Plat. is better but not great)
5. Brendan
6. Nate (Those tights kill him for me)
7. Gen 6 Trainer

Girls:
1. Gen 6 Trainer
2. Hilda
3. Leaf
4. Dawn (Based on D/P design. I actually like Plat. a lot. Ironic.)
5. May (Sapphire)
6. Kris

I thought the same thing when I read that as well. You may be on to something with picking a region. Why else would they split it up? I feel that would be sort of annoying if it wasn't for a reason. In my opinion, I think it may be 2 starting points like B/W and B2/W2. Like on Ash's current journey, he just got his last gym badge at Roxxi's gym which is the second gym for B2/W2 players. If it caused everyone to have drastically different pokemon, that would be cool. Maybe a map with mountain start to the north west and coastal start at the south east? Then they meet in the central which streches to the north east and south west. Who knows? We'll get english news soon though.

I really hope not :/ that's a lil bit too complicated for me.

 

[oath2order]

Not but like I kind of like the Gen 6 male trainer :/

It's actually a good design, I think it's just the hat that makes him kind of look silly.

So you're saying 1 starting point for X and a different one for Y, each with a differing pokedex start and then central just adding to the end of both? Would be interesting. And that leaves character and difficulty to be separate to play type. I don't imagine English news will include much region info other than the map and whether or not it's called Karos.
I would hope this does happen so that you get different wild pokes at the beginning of the games. BW1/2 both had such a chunk of their pokedexs unavailable until later in game, it'd really boost replayability.

I initially imagined a rough map guide of;
x-x-x-x
|.........|
x-x-x-x Where x = towns with gyms
|.........| ....... -/| = routes
x-x-x-x
And you choose to battle any 2 lines of 4 gyms, then the E4, and the last line of 4 become post game gyms.

I really hope not :/ that's a lil bit too complicated for me.

It'd result in being like having BW1 and BW2 in 1 game and you could chose which path to follow. I think I just went a bit overboard with explaining and ideas and made it sound complicated.

Yes I'm sorry but what 10-13(ish?) boy wears a winter jacket, a hat, sunglasses, and long pants. I mean he just doesn't look neat like some of the others. I mean, Brendan had cool white hair and seems a lot more boyish than some others. Red and Gold look like Ash and are more relatable. Lucas looked sorta average and so did Nate. Even Hilbert looked younger and more like a new trainer. While as for Gen 6 male, he just doesn't have that trainer "umph" in my opinion. He doesn't look young and he doesn't look cool and older. Thus, he doesn't really fit IMO.


Also sorry for leaving out Rosa and Lyra. They would be more top 5 if I had remebered.

 

[Prof Gallows]

I mean, Brendan had cool white hair

Man I've been waiting forever to be able to use this picture.

 

[Sora]

That doesn't count because I was talking about Sapphire Brendan! <- Lame Excuse
