What do you think they will look like? Default Names? And while we're at it, what about the rival?
Personally I'm all for a blond heroine. We have had blue, brown and red. Blond is missing.

Who's the redhead? The chick from Colosseum? I'm not sure she counts. She was more of a plot device than a heroine.

In fact, with the exception of Dawn, all of the main series girl protagonists have been brunette's. The guys are sightly more varied (Red=Brown, Ethan=Black, Lucas=Blue, Brendan...I have no clue, black? Either way, there's more variety with the boy's hair colors)
 
It's probably going to be black/brown again. Ethan and Lyra are the current status quo, so it's likely that the GenV duo will be similar to them.

I just hope that we get a female rival! And not like Brendan/May in RSE. I want a badass female, like a not-so-evil Silver or a Barry with ritalin.
 
As long as the guy isn't wearing a beret (seriously, who at GF thought this was a good idea?), I'm cool.

Red and Gold, & Leaf and Dawn are my favourite male and female player characters. I'm hoping GF makes the new ones more in their styles.
 
There should be a four skin options, dark, tanned, white or pale, I'll pick tanned.
 
I personally would like to see a little extra effort thrown in on game compression and have a "full" 3D game. I've seen high compression levels done in other games for older systems (there's several for the SNES, and I believe they did the same for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time due to the quality of the texture maps {don't ask how I know about data compression in games}) and I've seen games by Konami that have an inconsistent but tolerable framerate on the DS Lite (Yu-Gi-Oh WC 2010), so it can be done with no problems as long as the game engine has a way to decompress it.

With 3D graphics, you can customize your own character. I'm tired of all these cookie cutter 2D characters. They don't let the player show through their character, and everyone looks the same outside of the union room.

That's because Brunettes > All.

I agree, and as it's just a colour change, it shouldn't take up too much data.

I'd guess they'd both have dark hair, as pretty much every protagonist until now has been black or brown haired. Although, if we get customisation of skin colour, I'd like hair colour customisation too. Nothing too big, just colours.

All that would take is a pallet change. I've already seen (and done) stuff like that, though I can't say what, where, or how as it's against the rules.
 
Exactly. It's not too data-absorbing, but allows for even a bit of customisation.
 
The female should do zettai ryouiki. Hell yeya.
 
It is never going to happen, but a character without a hat. They're unnecessary.

So, male player should have a cap and a red coat and female one should have a skirt and a dress over her dress?

Lyra and Dawn. It's on the TvTropes.

Without their head accessories they couldn't defeat evil teams or champions. Head accessory is what gives them power.

I disagree to an extent. Short skirt is what gives Dawn her power.

Hopefully the 5th gen player characters will have short skirts. Game Freak really messed up by not realising a winnning formula, hence why both Ethan and Lyra didn't have short skirts of their own.

Yes but they gain extra AWESOME!!!!!! power from their pokeathlon outfits. It gives them so much raw power, they don't even need a hat!

No nononono. D: I'm sick to death of "lol I'm a girl so I must be cute and loli" in Pokemon. We need a super cute shotaro boy this time! HE can have zettai ryouiki.

Two words that make berets cool: Jamie. Hyneman. :D

Anyway, on topic...

Customization. Not just gender selection, but the ability to customize your look. PLEASE.
