>>53575742sorry for the shit resolution on pic attached. It was the only comparison photo without autistic writing on it and I didn't feel like creating my own graphic.
When it comes to the gen 3 protagonists being redesigned on ORAS, I like it conceptually. Brendan and May both look like they can realistically swim in their clothes as the material looks water resistant. Originally their clothes looked too warm for a tropical region as well and their headgear looks like it could easily slip off by mistake when they go underwater whereas the new designs make them look way less warm and their hats way more secure. There's even the detail that they have no socks now because of all the sand and water and stuff.
However, I still can't get over how less cool they both look. May ised to look like a tom boy who can run up a hill without being winded and now she looks like a scrawny girly girl. Brendan used to look like the coolest boy you've ever met and now he just looks like a skinny kid. The outfits are fine, but the way they drew the actual kids look like entirely different people. They lost the title they used to solidly hold of the coolest looking protagonists with these redesigns
