There was a certain moment in the 00s when japanese game character design became really faggy and never recovered

>>717926723 (OP)
try playing games made for adults

Why is Brendan wearing long sleeves and pants instead of shorts? Isn't Hoenn hot?

>>717926723 (OP)
Pokemon was inspired by the movie Stand By Me. I highly recommend it.
After a while it needed to become marketable and safe instead of alluding to children being in dangerous environments with rocky histories with their fathers and wars.

real Aryans can handle any temps

>>717926723 (OP)
I don't care about "faggy" character design in the slightest, then.

>>717926849
Not if you played Sapphire. No but Brendan lives far south of the volcano. Only people who live nearby are affected by the heat. Although as I say this, half the country is ocean routes so you wonder why he doesn't wear loose clothing or have a tan

Gen 4 is when the male protagonist went full faggot with a scarf and beret. Dawn looked nice though.

>>717926723 (OP)
Pokemon MC design was good up until gen 9

Nah man Hoenn is a humid sticky hellhole with a desert and a jungle by the ocean. Those okinawans are being boiled alive daily.
That's why it's the coolest region.

>>717927083
Real life Kyushu has a subtropical climate.

ORAS Brendan both has a tan and wears shorts

Capcom exhausted the cool creative mines and only faggy stuff remained

>>717927293
I think it's more of a cultural thing. The 00s was right around the end of the XTREME era before we got into the dudebro era. And while Pokemon didn't go full dudebro, unless you count Hilda's everything, it did get away from Pokemon looking dangerous and the trainers looking cool to everything being more whimsical and safe.

>>717927548
Doesn't explain everything else

>>717927172
Lucas is the last male player character with a nice design in Pokemon
Even in Legends Arceus he mogs

>>717927083
littleroot town is in a forest right off the southern coast of hoenn. there's not a chance it wouldn't be warm and humid.

>>717927698
hilbert is fine

>>717927657
That's just Ryoma Ito's artstyle. He loves that garish shit. Although as I look at it, shockingly, he also did the designs for FF12. I guess that explains Vaan.

He's meant to be wearing water resistant sports wear to emphasize that you can go diving at anytime in this game.

>>717927657
that's a huge ass for a dude

>>717927940
It extends to every IP though

midwit hasn't seen a pair of ankle socks before

They concentrated all the gayness into his name

>>717926723 (OP)
Yeah I've said it before but all the pokemon boy protags look like fucking faggots which is why I always pick the cute girl

>>717926723 (OP)
gold sucks

Why are the Nips only capable of creating game maps based on their island nation?

>>717935270
You would have to have a soul to understand, so you're out of luck

>>717926723 (OP)
Final Fantasy 7 was in the 90s though.

>>717935270
Pokemon has now more non-Japenese regions than Japanese ones

>>717926723 (OP)
First 2 look like shitty generic protagonistmen aimed at 6 year olds, Brendan mogs them, especially his Emerald design.

>>717927293
reality is few people care about any of their other IPs

Holy projection

You can't tell in most images because of resolution but apparently his "hair" had a texture on it to show that it's a hat this whole time

>>717927185
I always repost this when I have the occasion
The new designs are so gay

>>717926723 (OP)

>>717936423
White hair Brendan with a cool band is my canon, I don't care what anyone says

>the main antagonist of BW is a math genius
>the protagonist is named after one of the greatest mathematicians ever
his name is perfect.

>>717927185
Why are you guys incapable of speaking without insulting every 5 seconds? Basically reverse redditors

>>717937860
That image is probably older than you are

>>717927185
they both look like shit

>>717935270
Fucking retard

>>717937860
The image is from 2010 and was emulating an even older "meme template".

>>717936984
You don't see the same happening in the west though

There was a certain moment in the 00s when portuguese game character design became really faggy and never recovered

Gtfo. Brendan has one of the best character designs of the protags.
