[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#9900FF]I'm of the camp that's not fond of the new player character designs at all. [/color][/font][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#9900ff]I've been a fan of/defended most player character designs -- even Lyra's -- but this I just can't really get behind.[/color][/font]
[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#9900ff]They're not [i]terrible[/i], they just don't look like they belong on the PCs. They look more like they belong in one of the spinoff games, or as NPCs/rivals. It's also a huge step down because Hilda and Hilbert's designs were really awesome and they went out of their way to make the PCs older, and now we've gone back to the little kid protags. :/ The boy's design at least harkens to Hilbert's in terms of aesthetics, but the chick's clothes just don't go together at all.[/color][/font][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#9900FF] Though a large part of it probably has to be because the PCs don't look like they're designed by Sugimori -- the art style's different. You can tell in the eyes.[/color][/font]
[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#9900FF]Outside of that, though, I'm really looking forward to it with the new info coming out. The new gym leaders thing interests me the most -- Dark type gym now? Please?![/color][/font]
