They look like they'd unapologetically brag after beating a bug catcher
>>59417180Because back then it was normal for protagonists to display a modicum of attitude and confidence, as opposed to the limp-wristed sanitized shit we get now
>>>/v/742701248
Because it was the 90s.
>>59417180You're reading their angry eyebrows and smiles as cockiness rather than determination
>>59417180Remember when Dugtrio used to always look angry?
>>59417180They were confident and not ashamed of their goal of becoming the best there ever was
I don't know what people see in HGSS Ethan over the GSC design.
>>59418732Better face.
>>59417180because they're 90s kids drawn with an 80s aesthetic
>>59418732Zoomers who feel threatened by masculinity and taught it is a bad and wrong thing to have.
>>59418732HGSS Ethan fits in more with modern Pokemon character design, and is meant to appeal to a different generation of players. I'm sure for some, HGSS was their first Pokemon game, and to them, this IS Ethan. I'm sure you would find people that feel the same about Red's later designs vs. his original 90s look.
>>59418732Gen 2 fag here. I like both. OG, especially the Crystal design is very on point thematically for the time where the new millenium is near and everything is having this futuristic feel but not as slick or "realistic" as it is in Gen 3. Remake design is pretty good too where it still has the core identity of the original but in a modern take, and while its really hard to tell, i can see what they mean when they said they were going for a ninja motiff.Bonus: Kris sticks around the same futuristic looking sporty style that as a girl she can pull off rather well and while Lyra might be a huge shift i still find her incredibly cute and a good replacement but one does wonder how a remake Kris would be like still.
>>59417195What would Florian look like if done in the style of OG Red/Gold, I wonder?
>>59418732Lyrafags on suicide watch
>>59418732Nu Ethan appeals to pedophiles
>>59417195Lol, lmao evenThe SV MC is canonically a fucking Chad
>>59419401I feel most of the hate Lyra gets is because she was made to replace Kris. On her own she's a perfectly fine character design. No reason they couldn't have just updated Kris like they did with Gold/Ethan>Its a Gold and Silver Remake not a Crystal remake I don't remember Eusine of the Suicine subplot being in GS yet that somehow made it into HGSS
>>59417180Because Sugimori was just copying Toriyama's style. A lot of characters have angry eyebrows in DB and DQ.
>>59417180It's just the default Toriyama style that Sugimori was inspired by at the time, there's nothing really intentional about it, it's just "monkey see, monkey do".
>>59418732It's surprising how low Lyra is. I would have probably voted for GSC Gold, but Lyra is the cutest of all the girls.
If they are just making all the protagonists submissable shotas you might as well not even give a gender option because thats just a female in a male body at that point
>>59420660Leave your sexual fantasies out of this, thanks
>>59418732Weedles won't crawl up his shorts and sting his dick.
>>59420799I miss the yellow shorts. ;_;
>>59418732
>>59423179Some artists make his HGSS redesign work, but it helps if he is given his Adventures goggles and pool cue.
>>59423179I love that it didn't comment on the first Gold's shoes cuz as tragic as NuGold's shoes are, Old Gold's shoes are fucked all the way up.
>>59417224Sonic is the epitome of cool. Shame all these geriatrics and their crotch spawn hate him.
>>59417180It's how rough around the edges they are. Modern designs make them smoother.
NuGold just needed a better face that preserved some of that original attitude.
>>59423179
>>59424916There was no need to express your retardation and smear shit on something that didn't need to be changed.
>>59425061Cry harder
>>59425239People like you haven't had your jaws broken enough.
>>59424916Holy cringe
>>59425061That image is older than some of the posters here, filename related.
>>59423179Yeah but heightmogged
>>59417195Bro is called Florian lmao
>>59418732Better proportions, the shape of the head's less blocky and the eyes look better, the outfit is less saturated so it's less of an eyesore.
>>59425425That image is older than >>59425061 , so let him cope and seethe.
>>59417195ThisNu pokemon faggots are actual faggots half the time and like the Steven Universe knockoff pastureized designs how the fuck does this look like anytning other than a soft twink to anyone besides faggots and women is beyond me >>59420600 they wouldnt know what testosterone was even if they injected it themselves Its the sae reason why OP couldnt distiungush Cockiness for determination and self confidence I wouldnt be suprised if half the board used HRT. Just look at how hard these faggots have mald and seethe over OG Gold>>59424916 none of it makes sense at all and when you call them out on their faggotry they gang up on you like some carebear session just to Gaslight youI hate every single one of you faggots for ruining good design asthetic in favor of your comolete and utter faggotry im going back to Palworld
>>59426312Bullshit. Another faggot gaslight you know nobody will call you out on cause this board is filled with demented faggots just like you
>>59417195Holy trvth nvke batman
>>59417180I am more annoyed by modern pokemon designs, half the time I can not even tell what type they are supposed to be.... I mean wtf is this shit
>>59417180It was the typical 90s vibe back then. That world no longer exists though.
>Bullshit. Another faggot gaslight you know nobody will call me out on cause this board is filled with demented zpp,mer babies just like me
