Ever since gen 6, the male protagonists have looked less cool and respectable and more gay, weak, and... Young...I know they're like 10 years old, but since when have Pokemon characters looked their age? Fucking flanery is like 16. Elesa is apparently 15. Give me my 16 year old looking 10-14 year olds again
Florian looks like a kindergartener
>>56960331>ever since gen 9ftfy
>>56960344Victor looks like a loser, but then again that's accurate to British males
>>56960331elio looks great
>>56960338He looks like a fucking faggot. Ever since I saw (I DID NOT READ IT) a hentai comic of his mom fucking black dudes and making him dress like a little girl, I cannot unsee that when I look at him. How old is he officially? 10? 9? He's the same age as red, but looks half his age
OG Gold is the best
>>56960331>Ever since BW2,ftfy
>>56960344Victor looks like a bitch also, but a LITTLE less like one. Maybe it's the attire
Since they entered the 3D era and realised they had to make kids start looking like kids instead of drawing a tweenager and calling them a kid, because the sprite-based graphics made it easier to pretend they were younger.Red looks like a teenager at least, Florian looks like a 10 year old. Red was drawn in an era where his sprite was 16x32p in the overworld, Florian in an era where his model (thus a set comparison to both adult NPC's and child NPC's) was given a value that equated to about 4'10" in the game world. Because that's the height of the average 10 year old in Japan.
>>56960361Hilbert looks cool. You're a faggot>>56960360At least the sprite work for Ethan makes him look cool and serious
>>56960365But calem and sun don't look that bad. Why not just do that for gen 8 and 9?
>>56960331damn good thing the games aren't lazy as fuck anymore so you can customize your character to look however you want.
>>56960383Because the 3DS display wasn't HD, you spaz fucker. It needs to look somewhat decent on Switch and frankly neither Gen 6 or 7 would look good on it, as it wasn't intended to be ran on shit as powerful as Switch.
>>56960389I'd rather have one cool design over several that I'm not satisfied with. Customization options cannot salvage Elio, Victor or Florian. In Florian's case the only way to salvage him is to make him dress like a girl.
>>56960389It only takes forever to do that since the characters keep yapping. It also doesn't change the stupid, unserious expression your character has. Imagine Florian dressed like Brendan but he still has his gay expression. You can't make shit palatable by sprinkling sugar on it
>>56960398>I'd rather have one cool designYou can make as many cool designs as you want because the games aren't lazy dogshit anymore. Go nuts.
>>56960331>ORAS BrendanPlease stop posting this blight on my eyes
>>56960395Faggot, the XY and SM models looked fine. There is no excuse why they can't design the characters to look like that again. Hell, Nemora, Penny, fucking Bede, FUCKING HOP -- these guys ALL look more like ACTUAL protagonist than you IN GAME
>>56960410Yeah, none of the clothes you can buy are all that interesting and you get outshined by most NPCs now. GF needs to make better fashion options.
>>56960427My guy in XY looked nice, but I'm a simple guy
>>56960410>240pYeah, small wonder they looked "fine". Die in a fire shithead, world's too full of stupid cunts to handhold you any longer.
>>56960331Red and Ethan look like lads but they're still cool.
>>56960338His official art is fucking awful, his Indigo Disk art is much better >>56960364
>>56960331Calem and Elio look fine to me. Victor does look like a loser, and Florian makes me want to bully him.
>>56960683He still dresses like a faggot, so not much has changed.
>>56960534Stupid fucking cunt indirectly admitting I'm right by not denying that current day characters look better designed than the protagonist. Kill yourself. Just being a virgin forever won't suffice
>>56960704The USUM version of them looks retarded, and elio (SM) looks gay in game
>>56961209Fuck off you psycho loser, you're a dumb bastard and no amount of cope will change that.Go play xenowank, you want to coom to your player charactyer.
>>56961262You lost, faggot
>>56961217>buzzword>buzzwordOpinion discarded.
>>56961475The USUM version of them looks lame, and elio (SM) looks nerdy in game
>>56960355>Ever since I saw (I DID NOT READ IT) a hentai comic of his mom fucking black dudes and making him dress like a little girl,You wouldn't know that if you didn't read it.
>>56960331The reality is that no one gives a shit about Calem, Helio, Victor or anyone that isn't Red.I think GF did the right thing in Gen 9 finally making the male character one sided, for example everyone loves edgeventures Juliana, proving that the direction of the franchise should be Love live or Idolmaster instead of appealing a minority in this franchise.
>>56961268Lost what? The "dumb cunt of the year award"? Yeah, no-one's gonna top your effort above.Sorry thinking in different definitions is so hard for you, I guess.
>>56960331>Give me my 16 year old looking 10-14 year olds againOkay fag pedo. You gonna keep making threads about virile young boys until the heat death of the universe?
>>56961636Nah, fuck off. I like Elio, and I felt bad for Calem as the game progressed and I just utterly destroyed his spirit and will to live.
>>56960331It's just that they needed the newest male lead to conform to a same basic appearance as a girl could also have. So they made him a kawaii-eyed manlet that wears gay little shorts.Seriously, look at the size and roundness (=feminine) of his eyes compared to the others.
>>56961636>IdolmasterTake IM@S out of your mouth you secondary faggot. Lillie is literally written to not like you if you pick the female character, tooYou will never be a woman, neck ypurself
>>56962038>you secondary faggot.Kek, faggots shipping the girls are older than your underage ass, I was not even talking about yuri>LillieThere are more pictures of Lillie with chicken than the literally who male character >you will never be a woman, neck ypurselfYou are the one asking for more mature male characters total faggot behaviour
>>56961636
>>56961207Yeah, but he's a cool faggot now.
>>56962422How come Game Freak couldn't make Arven and Kieran straight? Why'd they make me watch two boys act like homos at me?
>>56962170>There are more pictures of Lillie with chicken than the literally who male characterChicken is literally retarded in official games now.Lillie still refers to her group of friends as "Elio and the others."
>>56961650>He's still crying
>>56961718I'm not a pedo. Im Attracted to Winona, not Roxanne anymore
>>56962460Because Pokemon fully embraced its fujoshi audience, and Kieran is one of the most popular characters to come out of SV because of how much weirdo women cream themselves at the thought of him revenge raping Florian.
>>56962011>look at the size and roundness (=feminine) of his eyesExactly, that's what I hateI just realized something: every since Gen 6, the protagonists have shared the exact same eye and hair color, so much so that they look related or they're gender swap versions of each other. Why the fuck are they doing this?
>>56962038Wtf is an idol master? Is that taskmaster's new form?
>>56960383Sun looks like a beta cuck. People just ignore that because it allows them to self insert into fucking Lillie
>>56960331gen 4 protag looks retarded
>>56962767His official art didn't look that bad, but I forgot how lame he looked in game
>>56960331Gen 6-8's protag looks less gay than 4's or the 2nd gen 5 one
>>56962805If you had just gen 6, your bait may have landed, but you failed
>>56962767Most of the people jerking off to Lillie don't give a fuck about self-inserting as the protag.And SuMo story patricians such as myself know how to separate the Player from the Player Character.Nobody self-inserts as Tidus in FFX.
pandering to fags and furdegens
>>56962819>Nobody self-inserts as Tidus in FFXwrong
>>56960331just play as the girl then
>People are now pretending male MC ever looked good Fucking grim they have the most generic designs you could imagine
>>56964700cope
>>56960331>>56960364Coolest kid in Paldea
>>56964700it's just some homo copinginvesting in characters that appeal to homos and women is a waste of time
There shouldn't even be males in the franchise, playable or otherwise
>>56964728Arrest
>>56964745You say that, but the Battle Subway guys print money
>>56960331>Not a single good design
>>56964694I'm not trans
>>56964700How are the females not just as generic? It's fine if you like them more because of the fact that they're female, but objectively speaking, what makes the female protagonists any more distinctive than the males?
>>56965671>NTAI do think the females (specifically after Gen 6) look better than the males. Part of me assumes it's GF's way of saying the protagonists for gens 8 and 9 are canonically female
>>56965838What would it take to make the males look better than the females, in your opinion? It's fine if you think the females look better simply because they are female, I get that, but what's an objective reason that the females are less generic than the males?
>>56964732Indeed.
>>56965671they're not just Leaf rehashes
>>56967214>>56964732Florian will always be lame and shit.
>>56960331Literally none of them are 10. Stop spreading this Ashnime headcanon. The youngest are 11, like Elio.>>56960338Florian is 150cm tall, which is the average height for kids aged 12-14. He has a bit of a babyface ingame but he doesn't look that young.
>>56962460Literally when do they act like homos
>>56965671>How are the females not just as generic? Because they aren't and the fact the only thing people talk about brendand is about the fucking hair/hat discussion just proves how much there's little to say about male MCs
>>56967336>I need my children to be hotOkay gay pedo
>>56967318All the boys have their own unique clothing styles, just as the girls do, so I don't see how they are rehashes. >>56967384But most of the talk surrounding the girls involves their tits and ass. Which again, is fine and doesn't bother me, but I'm still not seeing what objectively makes them less generic (or more, I'm not saying the boys are less generic than the girls are, either; and honestly I think GF does this on purpose, leaving it up to the player's imagination for the most part).
>>56967184I think the males are lacking that cool factor they had back then. Both of the protagonists look cute and kiddy, and that works fine for the female protagonists (which is why I think they look better than the males), but it makes the males look like generic nobodies imo
>>56960331Caelum mogs everyone lol
>>56960364Florian has like 7 bitches male and female on the go at once in SV. He's literally the biggest chad in the series, don't let the baby face fool you.
>>56969770*Juliana
>>56969773Nobody plays as the f*male
>>56969779The only time i picked the male character was in bw1
>>56969770Large sun hats and short shorts pull in the hoes, huh?
>>56969815Maybe it's because he's a good listener
>>56969770Precisely. Florian is the definition of someone who has won at life. He is the luckiest bastard in the Pokémon world.
>>56969770Pneumonia Arven Kieran Carmine PerrinDraytonWhom'st have I missed?
>>56969876Mela.(I just like her)
>>56969858I never played SV and I didn't finish watching a YouTuber play it because I find the story boring. Did he bag nemora?
>>56969904Yes
>>56969905The chaddest protag in the series....
>>56969770>>56969860Pokemon really started to test the waters with crushes in gen 9. Carmine was about to profess her love for you, but was interrupted. Nemona followed you around the map drolling over you, same with Kieran. Arven gets jealous over anybody getting friendly with you.I really need some tips from that little guy.
>>56969924>Nemona followed you around the map drolling over you,She's supposed to be your big sister. I've only seen like 4 hours of gameplay and I know that. You people are porn brained
>>56969904How far did you watch?
>>56969904You bet your ass he did.
>>56969938>You don't have to go find randos to battle, you'll have all the battles you'll ever need with me!If your sister was this possessive of you, you might be from Alabama...
>>56969941The guy I was watching finished the first gym (grass/bug lady?) and the first team star big bad boss battle (red haired chick with the large boots), so like the first 4-5 hours of the game
>>56969938>haven't seen the full game so I know betterYou cannot be serious. Really?Ok, fine, I'll spoonfeed you. There's a postgame story event where you have a little heart to heart in her own room. She basically explains how important you are to her and gets embarrassed. It's not exactly a love confession, but the connotations are there.
>>56969949It's because she recognizes you as someone talented. she's specifically designed to be your superior, a big sister for you to look up to
>>56969950I see, no surprise you found it boring then. You haven't seen anything of the actual story yet.It takes a bit of time to take off, but once the game gets into the Area Zero stuff it gets really interesting. I never gave a shit about Pokémon stories until I played SV. The ending is unironically kino.
>>56969951Hot. I'll buy the game now.Wait, how old is nemora....? 18 right..?
>>56969957Uhhh, sure!
>>56969955>The ending is unironically kino.I keep hearing that, which is why I want to see it. So far, I've had it play in the background while I do some post game shit in the Pokemon games I have
>>56969924>Pokemon really started to test the waters with crushes in gen 9.Yes! Everything you said was spot on.>>56969951>you have a little heart to heart in her own room. She basically explains how important you are to her and gets embarrassed.Holy shit, really? My obsession with the SV friends started long after I best the game, so I may have forgotten a few smaller details. That sounds like something right up my alley.
>>56969957Old enough.
>>56969979Yeah it's that scene where she tells you that her battle autism built a wall between her and the other students. That's why she was so happy to see your potential and stuff.
Damn! Nemona gets to fuck THIS!?
>>56969998No, I get to fuck him
>>56969948holy adult florian SEXO
>>56969994I figured that, I just wasn't aware of the sheer gravity of her dialogue. Thanks for reminding me. The only things I remember from that side story are her trying to battle with other students and scaring them off, as well as the fade to black with you and Nemona "battling" for hours. They knew what they were doing with that last one.
Already, trannies found the thread. I'm out
>>56969954That interpretation is just as valid. You can interpret her relationship with you however you wish.
>>56969998Lucky...
>>56971484The luckiest.https://catbox.moe/c/ckwfjx
>>56969924>I really need some tips from that little guy.maybe his tip and what's attached to it isn't so little and that's his secret ;)
>>56969998Yes. So does Arven. And Penny. And Kieran. And Carmine. And....
