Compare to Brendan's and May's ORAS designs, which are basically just small outfit changes. Same with Ethan's.
With the whole Leaf vs Green thing, they're both inspired by the squirtle trainer in the pic, who many assume to be a prototype female protag. LGPE's just seems more faithful to the original.
