>>40093748No OP. His new design is like a personality revamp. He literally looks warmer in both temperature and personality. I liked him more when he seemed like a cold old man judging your potential. His new look is just too warm and inviting. It's a shame because HGSS was pretty on point for redesigns. They generally maintained the vibes of the original characters.
>>40093773This is an exception, but it's a good exception. Sabrina had the same design 3 years later in GSC, so something new was nice, but what's so intriguing is how is contrasts with her design 3 years prior. It comes off as character development, and that's good after the passage of time. The difference with Pryce is that we don't see him 3 years ago. He exists in one Gen and its remake, and that Gen didn't remake him, it rewrote him. That's my problem with a lot of ORAS designs. But making Sabrina like this is much like Misty's change in character design. She has the swim coach jacket and isn't sporting a ponytail anymore. She's more feminine and less bratty, like she's growing up. I just wish Erika had gotten a more noticeable change beyond shorter hair.
