This would be a god-tier protag design if it weren't for the odd shorts-outside-of-pant thing. I imagine it would be practical when trekking through the wild foliage of Route 119 to prevent nicks/poison ivy and whatnot, but it must be very uncomfortable for the most part. Hoenn has a very humid environment, save for Verdanturf.

>>56508943
Shut up

>>56508932
It should be his hair and it's sick-looking.

Emerald male protag is one of the top 3 protagonist designs in the entire mainline series. Unique and out-there yet cool and sleek. Embodies the best of Pokemon.

His backsprite shows his hair.

>>56508932
Yeah? So, why aren't his eyes red?

>>56509585
The back of his hair isn't dyed white like the top. It definitely looks like hair, there are no beanies that're shaped like hair.

I know someone has that Dragonborn comic with Brendan in it that everyone hates. Post it

>>56508932
It should have been hair, I agree it's a very odd way to draw a "knitted hat"
I think Gold is the coolest looking protag, Brendan might be actually bottom of my list out of the first 6 gens (i can't recall later ones, idk if they're more generic now cause of customization features or just cause I never look at them)

>>56508932
Sure is.

true, it IS his hair

>>56513011
It's obviously bleached.

Honestly I'm not surprised to see how many virgin pedos don't know about this, when I was 16 I dated this 15 year old girl who'd bleach her hair and dye it different colors every couple months, I really liked her bleached hair it was very cute.

>>56508932
Maybe I am schizo, but I do genuinely beleive at some point in developement it was meant to be hair but something got lost and it got turned into a hat instead. I just can't comprehend in what world someone would design a hat with jagged tuffs like that not to mention with such a thick band. Pure white is an odd choice for color as well with the rest of the outfit and the female counterpart has a bandana so a headband seems like the more obvious thing. Especially in the implied humid climate of hoenn. I think it might of been hair and was supposed to be colored with the rest but couldn't get the shading right or something and got picked up blank so they decided it was a hat.
