Yes because noticing how pozzed western society has become = MUH /POL/ USER GRRRR

How do you use this forum and not see how modern western society has been directly responsible for creating these lolcow abominations?

I'm sorry, for a moment I thought we were on Kiwi Farms: The forum dedicated to making fun of retards.

You sound like someone that frequents /pol/ and I'm just saying it how it is.
 
I'm two pages late but on the topic of main character designs: think the last male design I truly liked was the gen 3 protagonist, hilbert from BW was alright, gen 6 and gen 7 felt too generic and samey for my taste, guess gen 8 is fine and lastly I don't like either of the gen 9 designs. Sometimes it feels like all the effort goes into the design of the female trainer.

The UI is super minimalist. I don't hate it, but it's verging on stuff you find in mobile games.

Tbh I never thought of minimalist UIs being the realm of mobile games. On that topic, remember the bitching from ubishit devs about elden ring's UI and everyone clowning on them? I didn't truly appreciate minimal UIs until I finished the game and went back to FF14 and pso2 and my god, the amount of shit on screen began bothering the ever living shit out of me.
Edit: I am an idiot, you guys meant minimalistic, not minimal
I wonder if the UI elements are placeholders, they look way too simple

They're possibly trying to blur the line between the genders with the designs, even the clothing seems that way.

Yeah I was kind of wondering about that too tbh.

I think making protagonists this bland will ultimately backfire on them because of how much harder it is for the memers and coomer fan artists to have interest in them. Regardless of the people who draw them aged up or not, fan art and content of the protagonists is something that usually drives the hype train, and I've seen almost no one who is excited for these games make any content or memes about these bland blank slates.

Even last Gen for example, all the memes with Gloria being Scottish helped get the fans excited for Galar despite looking like a bland lazy game. Or with Gen 7 with people calling the girl Chicken Chan.

I doubt that as the main appeal with the player characters these days is how customizable they are.

They're blank slates for us to shape however we want.

I disagree. Pokemon autists love the protagonists. Even super recent people got very excited for Lucas and Dawn's ancestors and got super excited and autistic about family lore in Legends Arceus.

Sure, but Dawn and Lucas were established characters prior to Legends and that game was making references to a ton of characters throughout the franchise.

Not to mention that the playable protagonist for that game was also a customizable blank slate.

They were not bland, boring, and soulless looking though.

Sure in terms of being blank slates, they may have been closer to Gen 9, but they still could and have been loved by fans.

We still don't know if Gen 9's protagonists even have a freaking name yet.
 
I absolutely hate the revealed character/gym leader/rival designs. They're all so ugly and the artstyle doesn't save them.

I don't even have faith there'll be decent customisation options since the English trailer just keeps throwing black protagonist and black hair styles in. Barely any decent clothes have been shown.

Brown Wooper is pretty cute though and Cetitan is love so hopefully the new mons will continue to be cool.

some of the leaks seem accurate, crystal shit, femboi gym leader, Wooper, so I'm really hoping for long Girafarig.

Yeah I really miss Pokemon regions being based in Japan. In fact Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee and BDSP although based on existing regions still kept the same vibe when it came to characters, the Let's Go Games could've stayed from that but they didn't.

Orre and Unova were fortunate in the time they got released in, western society is too cucked for me to want regions based on it anymore. On top of all that Game Freak does wrong, they definitely reflect the cultural and social aspects of the regions fairly accurate to the era they release the game in.

I don’t recall any “woke” western pandering in gen v but yet again it was the last gen before Game Freak started releasing the games worldwide simultaneously.

"no characters that resonate with my dick", and that's what children game design should be about.
