Lol, funny how everybody likes Soul now. Though not as funny as when a load of idiots got butthurt over lack of Marina/Chris and whatever.
I have to say I still find her clothes sort of dodgy, but then again Brendan had that terrible 'birdsplat' hat and I still played as him initially (I've played as May ever since because her pirate bandana is cool). Lucas' flat cap wasn't that bad either (being a Yorkshireman, it's not unusual for me to see random old blokes in flat caps) but I still have a game as Dawn. Her hat is worse than Lucas' imo, while the worst hat of the entire series is Brendan's and the best is May's.
Gold is cool too. Though he looks a bit of a poof (which is quite funny actually) compared to his initial, sort of badass looking G/S artwork (where he also looked weirdly square). Interesting to see how Sugimori's style's chaged over time, too. While the Pokémon are still similar as time progresses, with such throwbacks to old designs as Rotom (he's based on Pulseman), the player character designs have changed a lot. Namely how since Emerald, the artwork's given the characters some fairly strange glassy looking eyes. Not sure I like them, but Sugimori's style is still awesome. I'd quite like one of his Psyducks actually-I've only had Masuda's since the week they were given out.
