I wasn't trying to say her mini skirt makes her a bimbo, just that her outfit+the things she'll have to do when she travels makes her seem like it. And I felt this way even before I saw her anime counterpart. Plus her Plat outfit reminds me of the actual bimbos who I see in the mall in the winter who are wearing short booty shorts while there's 4 inches of snow on the ground. I may be using the word bimbo incorrectly but it was the only word I could think of that really fit a girl who cares more about how she looks that what's practical. Unlike this new girl who seems to have found the perfect balance between girly and practicality.Anonymous Me wrote:It seems to me that you just didn't like her as a character.

Yes, well no one in Sinnoh really dresses for the weather. Candice is a good example. She is a gym leader in Snowpoint, but she's wearing a skirt, and there are blizzards every day there. Not to mention, her gym is filled with snow and ice. I hardly expect anyone in Pokemon to be dressed appropriately for the weather. I'm just saying I think the bimbo comment was unnecessary.Taniyama Mai wrote:I wasn't trying to say her mini skirt makes her a bimbo, just that her outfit+the things she'll have to do when she travels makes her seem like it.

I don't get what you mean. You're playing as her if you play as a girl in the game, so you're making her do things in the game. Also, never in the game did it say that Dawn is "obsessed with her appearance". That's just anime Dawn. And anime Dawn has a lot of character development throughout the DP seasons. Being a coordinator is something she wanted to do. Not everyone has to be a pokemon trainer. I will say that I disliked how she only used "cute looking" pokemon, but that changed when grew out of it after accepting her Mamoswine. I do agree that her outfit is impractical, but so was Leaf's. And just so you know, game Dawn never does anything that would classify her as a bimbo- she is a silent protagonist just like all the others.Taniyama Mai wrote:\\

Candice is a little different. One could say it's a way of training her body and becoming one with her element and her pokemon. While you're shivering in your huge coat and boots, distracted from the thick of battle, her body has adapted so she can focus on taking you down. It's the same idea for Red on the mountain top. And "bimbo" may have a stronger connotation than I remember nowadays, but I still stand behind my saying I feel she looks like a bimbo. I might even have the wrong word, and being dyslexic I may have switched the word with the meaning I'm thinking of, but I don't think so. Even if you feel it's over the top, I didn't mean for it to sound that way. She just seems very bimbo-esque to me.Anonymous Me wrote: Yes, well no one in Sinnoh really dresses for the weather.

Yes, true but her outfit completely contradicts the path you go down in the game. She doesn't look like the bad@$$ who takes down a man who wants to rule the UNIVERSE. And yes, never in the game did it say that, but who else would go adventuring in a miniskirt like that if they didn't care a great deal about how they look?(not to mention you're supposed to be 10....) And I did forget about Leaf. She too kinda bugged me, but not to much as Hikari/Dawn. I guess I have issues with girls going out and doing the things one does in such a short skirt. At least. May was willing to have bike shorts under her's. I also don't watch the anime anymore(I only watch the first few eps to get a feel for the new characters and how to say some of the new names) and yea, she's a silent protg, but her look still doesn't fit what she does. She looks like the kind of girl who, with one trip in the road will give her poor knee a big ol' scrape and she'll start crying until her pokemon come out to comfort her. Not the kind of girl who has the power behind her to take down a psychopath bent on controlling time and space. Sorry if my feel on her upsets you both, but that's just how I feel about her and why I like this new girl a lot more. She looks like the kind of girl I would want my child to look up to(as I did to Misty when I was little. She, and Sailor Moon were the only strong girls on TV back then) Dawn just felt to me like she set back how girls are looked at. She seemed like one big stereotype to me. Sorry if this offends. This is just how I feel.Selphie-Sama wrote: I don't get what you mean. You're playing as her if you play as a girl in the game, so you're making her do things in the game.

And I also love Leafeon, so hopefully we get another moss rock!
Or the player plays the boySelphie-Sama wrote:I understand how you feel about Dawn being a stereotype for girls. And if that is your opinion on Dawn, then I respect it. All I'm saying is that Dawn (or the Female MC) still defeats the evil team and becomes the champion even though she wears a short skirt. That's a fact. Unless the player doesn't get through the whole game.
I am just a big fan of Dawn (both the anime and the games) and the Sinnoh region/Generation 4 in general, so my opinion comes from that![]()
I do like this new female player character's design much more than Dawn's though. She reminds me of May and Leaf and Hilda all put together XD

omg he does. He still looks TOTALLY like my friend though. Effeminate face and all. His hair is fluffy like that and it's so cute. I almost want to play as a boy and name him after my friend.(and I'm not kidding, other than the outfit he looks like what my friend would look like if he were an anime character OMG)Nurse Fin wrote:omg the new main character looks like
