I feel like the new pokemon protag design philosophy is to encourage us to customize it as soon as possible rather than creating stand-out characters like dawn or hilda lol
Pity I'm just going to roll with the default outfit like I've always done, huh?

>>58997361It took you 12 years to realize this?
>>58997396>He thinks it started in SVImagine being this new
>>58997361>He thinks we're gonna be able to customize our characters>With those backpacksEl Oh El
>>58997361how the fuck is hilda a “stand out character”
>>58997468How is Dawn?
The stupid will argue it happened in Gen 6 (because that's when customization was introduced).The average person will argue it happened in Gen 8 (because that's when we had the most bland default design so far, at least for male).The braindead will argue it happened with either Gen 9 or 10 (the most recent ones).The truly intelligent will agree it happened in Gen 7 (because the SM and USUM protags are the same people).
>>58997479Why is Dawn?
>>58997361Honestly the boy already stands out because his color scheme isn't primarily red or blue
>>58997481>The braindead will argue it happened with either Gen 9But it did. The complaints about generic protagonists didn't start until Gen 9. Victor was bland but no one cares about the males anyway and people the customization more than made up for it.Gen 9 had shit ugly protags AND had dogshit customization.
>>58997481The "design philosophy" OP is referring to started with Arceus and SV. Gen 6-8 had customization but the default design of the girl characters were objectively better than any outfit combination you could come up with. Most Pokegirl designs are iconic and popular with fans and cosplayers. SV was the first mainline game to give you a dogshit default design and the customization was just as garbage. ZA continued with this trend and it looks like WiWa will too.
