Character Redesigns: Yay or Nay?

[firepanda]

Yeah, I'm not hearing complaints. Just... surprise.

An additional comment about Wallace's outfit (which I still think is absolutely awesome and fits him very well)
Thanks to Tumblr, I realised Wallace is not wearing underwear....

Yeah...

(for those who don't see it, look at his hip)

(GF might have wanted to think this one through a bit more)

I'm guessing Wallace is partially based on male models in real life. Sometimes, models don't wear underwear when modeling for clothes because the clothes have to fit on their body.

Also, characters like Crasher Wake and Marlon are shirtless - I didn't hear any complaints regarding them showing skin more than anybody.

Because both are a professional (WWE like) wrestler and swimmer respectively (who in real life are shirtless).

It's just Wallace's clothing. Revealing clothing like that is something that isn't seen often on the male sex, versus lets say outright shirtless appearances. I think it caught some people off guard, but it's like you said with the models.

Oh, I'm definitely not complaining!
I just can't look at him anymore without hearing this

Gold. Third version will be Pokemon Q, with new Mega-Puppet-Evolutions introduced.

Bringing this back because the characters got interesting enough that I think we should talk about them. Also, there's concept art going around? Here's the Admins:

Spoiler

That X on Archie's face confirmed as shadows from scowling too much, though I still prefer this explanation.

I've seen the gym leader ones, but they're not as interesting as this.

EDIT:
Roxanne + Brawly
Wattson + Flannery
Norman + Winnona
Tate & Liza + Wallace

It's from the Official Strategy Guide. It also has cool concept art of May and Brendan, the two in their Contest Spectacular outfits, Wally (who apparently made his Mega Necklace himself), and Steven.

It doesn't really explain where he got the Keystone from--though after receiving Gardevoirite from Wanda, she mentions that she gave one to Wally and the stones were found after those lights from the Cave of Origin filled the sky (which begs the question of when Wally got the stone since he was at Evergrande)

She mentioned that she found the stone after the lights filled the sky. It doesn't mean the mega stone is from the lights. You can find other mega stones before capturing Groudon/Kyogre, so it could mean that the lights made it easier for her to find them somehow.
and wally can warp between towns. he took us from petalburg to mauville in two seconds


That aside, I'm impressed that Wally made the pendant himself.

 

[Mitchman]

Wally made the pendant? Damn, as if we needed more reasons to love the little guy.

 

[Team Gaara]

Yep~ The wood used to make the pendant is shaped like Gallade, as well~ Wally's got quite the craftsmanship~

@Team Gaara;
So these are in the English ORAS Strategy Guide? I'm willing to pick that up if true.

Also: Is bearing your midriff a requirement for contest idols? Apparently the male character does it too.

And its nice to know Wally confirmed shorter than main character (though pretty good guess anyway since he's 10 and the PC is 12)

Yessir~ Lisia and Aarune are included, too~ It also mentions there will be more concept artwork in the Official National Pokedex~

Brendan's midriff is so fine~

Does it have English translations of the notes, or was that fan additions? I never thought I'd buy strategy guides, but now they're worth it.
