>>26530043Maybe in the real world, but in the Pokémon world, why would you ever opt for the girls who are as generic as possible? I want rich vibrant characters with personality. Not "Generic Adventure Girl #03"
That's why I shy away from the protagonist characters in general, because most of them look too much like blank slates to project onto (I guess that's the point)
The Gen 5 protagonists are the only ones that ever stood out to me. Their personalities were very clear through their designs. Gen 5 was good with that in general, across all their characters. The rest of the protagonists are just... So... Plain? And the anime didn't help them at all.
I think I am being too harsh on Dawn actually, her design, especially in Platinum, was quite good.
