A tiny behatted rat👒🐀!
There’s a battle simulator already that has Gen 8 mechanics and turns out Dynamax is really good for sweepers, in particular Dragon dance Gyarados and Excadrill. Also Kyurem Black but that’s not in S/S(yet).

Same goes for Hilbert, the B/W gals kinda overshadowed them

u can choose donuts or a broom it's also an easy choice

(admittedly I'm biased because I didn't care for bw2 and donut girl is probably my least favorite even if I like her

the best design in bw2 is champion Iris)

what do you mean "it turns out", everyone already predicted this. sweepers are generally fragile which Dynamax fixes by inflating their Hp, and they get access to the equivalent of 4 z-moves for 3 turns

Whenever I have the choice I always pick the girl. Guy characters are the stars of enough games. Though it does feel like it's getting better this past decade.

Yikes. I haven't been paying attention at all to anything surrounding the new games. I just remembered it was coming out on Friday and went off to google to see if there were any pre order bonuses and wow :eyepop: So many people riled up about pokemon. Anyway, I'm stoked as gently caress to have my sword duck in like 2 days.

LET ME EXPLAIN

ThisIsACoolGuy

Shaped like a friend

I usually judge if I play a boy or girl character by how customizable they are or if I like one sides hair more than the other.

Splatoon 1 I always played as a girl because I loved the long hair design and not a fan of top knots, but in 2 I felt fine being a boy because I liked the boxart style more than the discount version of 1's.

Pokemon X/Y and Moon I picked boy because I figured I could customize him to fix his boring design but when I played UM I went girl because I learned my lesson. I think I'll play a girl again this gen because I don't even remember what the guy looks like and if the previous gens are anything to go by the male options for clothing are going to be bland rear end tank tops and almost nothing else.

I’m a girl so I play a girl. This will probably never happen, but what I would really like are more robust POC options.

It was infuriating being surrounded by people in Alola with my exact skin tone yet not being able to choose it at the start, just white or various shades of black. I mean it’s nice to have a choice of color at all but still the color is already in the game fuuuuuuck

That’s good at least.

Trainer customization is awesome and one of the highlights of the modern games.

I've played as a girl the last few times just because they tend to have much more interesting clothing options.

The exception being in my first S/M playthrough, because they had that rad Alolan Marowak shirt for the boy, and also owned a version of that shirt because I'm 100% that dork.

I'd be very happy with an Animal Crossing level of customization for my trainer character. Now if only the male characters were better designed and had more options...

Animal Crossing level of customization means no gender locked clothing so boys can steal the girl's fashion.
