They are pokemon characters after all
>>59129670They didn't even fucking try to make archie look like a pirate
Because gen 3 story was written for 4 year olds
>>59129701>make archie look like a pirateHe looks more like an actual pirate would than ORAS Archie does
>>59129809i seriously doubt it
>>59129670>>59129701>>59129702ORAS fixes this
>>59129670I miss when characters had grounded and reasonable outfits rather than over-the-top caricatures
>>59129876Gen3 is when the "out there" fashion started, though.
>>59129886*mid-Gen3
>>59129886There's no reason for wearing shorts over baggy pants
>>59129886My brain still sees that as a headband, rather than a hat.
>>59129899It doesn't help that May wears a bandana, so it's easy to assume that Brendan doesn't quite have a hat either.
>>59129670Why are zoomers so ADD that they need wacky outfits for everyone?
>59130841final fanty ahh post
>>59129886This is just early-mid 2000s fashion desu
>>59129670The ORAS redesigns are the epitome of everything wrong with modern Pokémon character designs. They look more like Marvel supervillains than anything remotely believable.
>>59129886Yeah, you can definitely see the shift. Most characters look rather normal and unassuming but then you got shit like Brendan or Lucy.
>>59130989ORASS vs gen 3 is basically this
>>59129670Do we prefer Archie or Maxie? Team Magma or Aqua?
>>59130995>LucyIf you take away the gloves Lucy is literally just a normal bitch. The Frontier Brain girls have significantly more normal designs than the men.
>>59129670Its ninjas and pirates. Way better than boring mafia all the time. The volcano fight and cave of origin are pretty iconic.
>>59129670Its also perfect because environmental extremists are often skinwalkers who look boring and generic like just stop oil etc.
>>59131042>Big ass Seviper belt>highlights in hair meant to resemble Seviper fangs>same color scheme overallShe's literally a gijinka. But yeah, Tucker and Spenser are both bad as well, while Noland and Brandon are fine.
>>59129670OG Team Aqua were sexy redheads though
