Ehhh, I'm gonna disagree. Unless LGP/LGE fail to gain traction to the desired degree (I personally think they'll be the best selling games in the series since Gen 2), they're taking next year off.

Pretty common anime archetype. "My dad is famous but I want to be better than him"
Like how depending on whether you decided to play as Brendan or May, the other character would be your rival, but you'd fight Wally no matter what.

Serena, May, and Dawn are definitely the best female protagonist designs.
Red, Ethan, and Brendan for the male ones.
Red, Ethan, and Brendan for the male ones.
Assuming it's real does that mean the new titles sets around 15-20 years after the events of SunMoon, and 25-30 years after the original Red/Blue/Yellow ? Assuming Red/Blue in SM is 20-21 yo.
We haven't had a 4 year gen since DP. SM came out back in 2016...waiting all the way to 2020 for Gen 8 is a long as hell wait. These games are basically the same remakes the other gens had. They act as "filler games" until the next gen.

Oh. Hmmmm. I really hope the story details are true and it's just you versus one rival. That sounds like an incredible story setup, I hope Game Freak actually does it.
Right? I have felt no amount of hype for the leak coming out about this game, but the possibility of this being the storyline has sent my excitement into the stratosphere.
I loooove the designs, specially the hair on the male one. Actually, both hairs look amazing.
These just came in. Look creative enough to be real!
Not sure about the girl's dress and her hat tho, those look uglee.
100% agreed, this is actually all speculation based on the designs that might not even be real and I'm already more invested in the character than I was in any character after N, lol. If they really do something like this, I'm going to love this character arc so much. I hope the game continues the older games style of lower key villainous teams, because I want the focus on the MC/Rival storyline like the first two generations were.
OP
OP
I mean, I understand what you are saying, but I disagree. I think Nintendo was forced to churn out a Pokemon game a year on the 3DS because the system needed Pokemon to have a hope to meet sales targets. With the Switch doing as well as it is, everyone has some breathing room now, and I don't think Pokemon will need to be on such a short lease. And I do think Gen 8 is coming, but I think it'll be a more thorough, made from the ground up Switch game and have a longer development cycle. These games are meant to buy them time, and assuming they do as well as I think they will, there will be no hurry to push out a new one the year after and cut their legs off for no reason.
*Shulk and Little Mac flashback*
Did the leaker just copypaste the sm male characters face onto the woman?
Best
You have good taste for the female protagonist design, sir/madam !
female protag design is pretty consistent. male designs are all over the place, unfortunately.
My tops are FRLG Red, HGSS Ethan and Ultra Sun for dudes. For chicks, R&S May, Serena and Ultra Moon.
Rock bottom for me is Nate and maybe Kris.

Have safe search on, that's all I can say. Especially if you're surfing Japanese imageboards or pixiv.
ORAS May was a mistake. Emerald May is so much better. Also you left out Kris.Best
Best
OP
OP
I will just not look for any fan art lol
Who is Nate? Kris is Crystal FeMC yes?
They look older because they ARE older. You should look at the official artwork not the game models where they all have adjusted proportions
Nate is the B2/W2 male protag. You're right about Kris.
Nah, ORAS May is cute. Her official toy is great too, although I still prefer R/S May above all.
The guy in yellow is the only one who doesn't look awful
These just came in. Look creative enough to be real!
OP
OP
Oh. Yeah, ewwww, no, I don't like him lol.
I still think Serena and May are their best protagonist designs, with Ethan and Red taking the next two spots.
So these would be Blue's children?
There's supposed to be two games: LGP and LGE.
The MC are supposed to be Blue's children, but why would you choose Pikachu in that case?
Finally, look at the Rival/Red's son design. He's wearing a damn Pikachu attire or something of that kind. If you pick up the Pikachu edition, he should be supposed to pick up Eevee instead, right? That doesn't seem to work. The Pikachu attire is throwing me off with this supposed leak. Maybe the gender counterpart is also a character in the role of a sibling/twin and picks up Eevee/Pikachu, depending on your version.

i really wanna know what these are supposed to be
i like both but i think oras may is a great take on her gen iii designs, and there's been better since kris.

All the Mays are good. All of them.
Yeah, that's what I meant with that statement. I think the XY protagonists are supposed to be 16-17 going by Emma's post game quest.
OP
OP
It would be nice if Eevee version = Green's child and Pikachu version = Red's child, slightly different games
I like those designs, and that twist premise of playing as your old rivals descendants appeals to me. Bring it on.
Edit : Fanfiction time, like other have said, the game would go RS route with both protagonist appears in the game along with a rival. Red and Blue gives Pika and Eevee to both protagonists. Red son mad because his dad doesn't give Pika to him.
