I've actually never been a fan of how most of the female protagonists just have a purse, because even as a kid I thought they wouldn't be suitable for an extended time in the outdoors. Red looks like how I would dress going camping as a 9-10 year old, big ass bag included.
That said, the new ones having actual backpacks doesn't make the designs any better, so it's a moot point.

I wonder if they take off their over clothes to dive in the water.

I wonder if you leave the clothes you were wearing where you dove in. So you have to return to that spot.

>>734193273
Because they added customization. The last good design was in X&Y.

They're both just really fucking bland, not to mention virtually identical beyond the girl having a slimmer torso and wider "hips" (it's really just her shorts being flared to look like hips).

>>734200925
doesn't mean that you can't have well-designed protags in your game though

I don't understand what job I'm doing for them, I don't create any of the assets. I just pick them according to my liking. Wouldn't want to be stuck looking like some dumb cunt fags like Hilda and Hilbert.

I know it's blank slate for customization but, it feels like shitty excuse

Even if you remove the wetsuits or the shorts, they look completely unremarkable, like random NPCs you'd find while traveling through a mountain. Even protagonists like Lucas, Hilbert, Nate and Calem look better than these two despite being male protagonists (which historically have been neglected by GF in terms of design) and blatant copies of Red.

So you want to ingrain children to think that dressing androgynously is the way to go?
What's next? You want them to go to a psychologist and get them on the chopchop table?
>>
>>734204763
May's original design was a peak combination of unique elements without feeling overdesigned, any change done only made that peak design worse. Meanwhile, Brendan was literally a midget cyclist with a weird hat that everyone mistook for his hair so there was a lot of things that could be improved.

Its simply because they don't care. They do the least amount of work required, on shoestring budgets and then make 200x that investment back from losers.

>The decline of Pokemon protagonist designs needs to be studied
People who wanted to make their own characters and self insert are to blame.
>>
>>734194817
I'm still annoyed with Mai's redesign. The original design was solid. She has this sporty look that makes it clear she's going on a adventure... then the remake just gives her this casual outdoors outfit.
>>
>>734207756
again, why is it so hard to make the girl look more girlish then?
why do both genders look almost similar in design?

It's for the sake of customization. If you've already got an interesting looking starting set of clothes and hair then there's less incentive to go out of your way to change your character's clothing and hair.

They've let you dress up the protag since Gen 6, but they've still had unique designs. This is strictly something that started with Scarlet/Violet.

Perfectly okay, but no strong feelings altogether. It's at least a humongous upgrade from Scarlet/Violet's tragedy. At least the boy and girl are more on par with one another in effort, instead of the girl clearly getting way more attention put into her design than the boy like some past gens had a real problem with.
