My Opinions on All the Pokemon Protagonists 

I got something to say....... WE GOT SHIRTS ON SALE!

The Female Protag for let's go is just a young Hilda.

The designs for Hilda and Hilbert are my favorites

When seeing Legendaries Ethan- Holy Nate- Holy Red- Holy Dawn- Holy Elio- ok

*MysticUmbreon:* Hilbert is an odd name choice... *Red:* I’m about to end this man’s whole career

wait that’s a beanie ,,, not brendan’s hair ?? *my whole childhood has been a lie*

Hilda is one of my favorite girls, every aspect of her design is so fresh and modern.

They robbed leaf when they didn't include her in Gen 7 alongside her rivals.

When you play as Dawn, there’s no need to worry.

Hilbert means "magnificent in battle" or "battle bright." Hilda means "Battle Maiden." Tōya and Tōko come from "fight" (which makes their English names fitting), "transparent" or "untainted" which establishes their role as the middle and leader of the group. Their names make sense

"Also take a shot everytime I say in the anime" Me:Dies of glass poisoning

It honestly doesn't make for a fair comparison when you include media outside of the games. When it comes to the games, Dawn and Lucas are exactly the same. Dawn from the anime is a completely different character

The sad moment when you realize he isn’t going to talk about the protagonists from the manga. :(

Kinda sad you didn't at least mention the manga counterparts when you made the anime ones so important to your opinions.

I think having read the manga changes the impressions you get of all of them extremely, so i can only recommend that, it really shows more of their personality.

Hilbert is best boy. Chosen Dragon Hero, changed peoples lives, strong trainer. FOH

Plays as Dawn. Lucas is boring. Plays as Lucas. Dawn is boring. U good Mystic? Edit: I got more likes than Mystic's "we got shirts on sale" comment. Edit 2: in my opinion mystic is kinda and picking on cute and girly pokemon... Edit 3: Mystic is so Girly.

But... but all these characters are you😂😂😂

I'm a simple girl, I see leaf, I click on the video.

The manga counterparts of them have nice personalities especially Calem, this boy did something badass shit near the end that i wished Ash could ever do that to nearly as perfect as he did.

I think Nate and Rosa have my favorite designs, followed closely by the original protagonists of Black and White and the Johto protagonists. Also their Pokestar Studios costumes are so dumb and amazing that they just make me love their designs more

Opinions on every Pokemon Adventures main character, yes? (Heck, their respective teams could be a whole other video too.)

I can't see Red as a protagonist. I started with soul silver and played every protagonist besides Red, I remember how hard he was to beat and the few time I saw him in other games and to me he's more of the ultimate rival, the ultimate duel to become the very best than a protagonist. He's more of a legend than anything. Gold is my boy.

Tbh I’m kinda done with ash. How dope would it be to start fresh with the new protagonist in the sword and shield games

Another fun fact: In the pokemon Manga, Calem and Serena are referred to as Xavier and Yvonne

My first thought: Is this gonna be about the manga protagonists? *watches more of video* *Oh games* Aren't Helios and Selene the Greek Titans of the Sun and Moon?

I remember playing as Ethan in HeartGold, and at some point Lyra called and said her Marill evolved into an Azumarill. I was like "oh, cool" but when I went back to the starter town later on... Well, I'm 100% sure that Pokémon with her was still a Marill.

*Me: Wait... The Sun and Moon male and female protagonist ISN’T named Sun and Moon?!* *Also me: Pikachu Gasp*

Best boi: Emerald Brendan Best girl: Hilda/Leaf

I call Ethan “Gold”, as well as Kris “Crystal” because the protagonist and rival in Gen 1 shared the game name

Dude you should read the manga of the pokemon franchise. It give all the games lead personality and growth.

Design-wise, i prefer female protagonists, because they tend to be more original. I mean, not trying to be an hater, but most male protagonists are basically just a cap and either a red and/or blue jacket. I like Brendon and Ethan mostly because of their more original look. However, i didn't like the designs for either the male and female protagonists in sun and moon. I found them a little too childish. Brendon and May from oras are a little more childish too, but at least they have nostalgia on their side XD

My favorite protagonist is Yellow … They should have made her appear in Let's Go....

I love my boy, Lucas. I'm heavily biased as I played as him in my first ever Pokemon adventure in pearl so I personally would put him at least top 3 for that alone. His design isn't the best sure but his platinum outfit gave me a sort of comfort knowing I (playing as Lucas) am warm in the cold climate of Sinnoh.

Pokemon anime dream team: Ash partnered with both the male and female protagonists of the generation, it would be amazing.

Unpopular opinion: I like Kris more than Lyra and was annoyed when they chose not to remake Kris in Heart Gold and Soul Silver.

I like Lucas but that’s mostly because I adored his personality from the manga and unlike most people I actually like the hat. Gotta agree with you, I wish he had more cameos.

Red will always be my favorite :>

I like how the main game protags are like oh! I'll wear a hat and a backpack and yadda yadda and BOOM! You got West with a trench coat, boots and funky patterns and you got the XD protag with a robot hand.

I absolutely love Nate's design and the game he's from. He has more personality in his silhouette than any other trainer design

I didn't know the sun and moon protagonist real names was elio and Selene but still I will call them sun and moon because of the manga 😂

I think Kris just got scammed with that artwork. Gold's GSC artwork sucks too, but he got a redesign later, so no one really remembers anymore... IDK why, but my favourite protagonist is Kris, I loved her ever since I broke my first ever Crystal save, and I even played a SoulSilver romhack where she was the protag instead of Lyra, and I really loved it. Her vs. sprite was honestly one of the coolest things I've ever seen. And her hair directly mocks physics just by existing, I think that's super awesome too.

This was a fun idea. I'm excited for Sword and Shield opinion protagonists and the other ones as well. What about doing opinions of all the Pokemon Professors.

"Leaf is my favorite protagonist from a game standpoint" As soon as I heard that I subscribed.

I like Serena's counterpart in the Pokemon Adventures manga, her name is Y. She's a Sky Trainer and temporarily caught Xerneas.

Nate is my favourite. White 2 was my first Pokémon game, the design is great, and he shares my name.

I actually prefer Kris over Lyra though. Also May is best female protagonist. And even though Colosseum isn't main series, I still think Wes is the best male protagonist.

I hope you have read the pokemon adventures manga because I want to see your opinion about the manga protagonists

My thoughts: Red- He's pretty cool and badass, my favourite male protagonist Chase- He's like a really watered down version of Red Leaf- She's like a kanto lass trainer but wears a white top hat, and i like it lol Elaine- She looks like a fusion between Leaf and Hilda Ethan- I like his GSC design better,I prefer his short being yellow and just prefer his old aesthetic overall. His HG/SS design is okay. He is also my second favourie male protagonist. Crystal- I like her blue hair and her hairstyle. She stands out. Lyra- She's pretty cute i guess Brendan- I REALLY like his hat. May- Her design makes her look like some kind of pirate, and I found that really cool when I first saw her. Lucas- Pretty forgettable. Though I do kinda like his outfit in Platinum. Dawn- Pretty memorable , mainly because of her design and the anime. Probably my favourite female protagonist Hilbert- He's okay. Hilda- I like her design, she seems pretty spunky by looking at her. Nate- A much better version of Hilbert. I like that hat and hair and those shorts look so comfy that it give Youngster Joey a run for his money. Rosa- She looks pretty girly and adorable design wise. In the Pokemon Black and White 2 Trailer she seems pretty spunky and like that. Calem- Is basically like Lucas but more plain Serena- Pretty much what this video says about her. Elio- The best name for a protagonist. His design is okay, though I prefer his appearance in the original Sun and Moon. Selene- I prefer her appearance in the original Sun and Moon games because of THAT hat. Despite her design being simpler compared to the other protagonists I still like it.

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO LIKE LEAF!!!! My girl is getting recognition ;w:

Best Male player character: Ethan Best Female Player character: Dawn

can't believe they gamefreak dirtied kris like that not including her in the remake and everything

Ash actually wore Kalem's outfit in XY and Z Except the hat

I loved the default designs for the XY protagonists. To me as a German they just looked so.... French.. so stylish. I liked it.

I like to think of Hilbert as the Red of Unova. Even though he has no appearances after BW1 except for the Pokemon Generations short. He just has that look to him, he's also a few years older than Red was originally.

These characters tend to seem more interesting and lovable in the manga than the anime. Diamond is way less boring in the books and shows drastic character development. Am I the only one who never heard these names for the characters before? I never heard White as Hilda before.

"Leaf is my favorite." You are my new favorite person.

Brendan and the sinnoh male protagonist who i dont know his name are REALLY,REALLY GOOD IN THE Manga.Brendan literally beat a pseudo legendery with a skitty,a poochyena and i think a zigzagoon.And it was fully evolved.For what?To save may.But he did get seriously injured in the head in that fight,and got a scar,which is why he wears that hat.And the sinnoh protagonist has a great personality and literally DIED to save Barry.

Hilbert is my grandfather’s name Now if you have the same name as an 87 year old man

I put a lot of effort into crafting my own version of the protagonists in the Pokemon games, and of them, my favorites so far have been the ones I've made in Ruby, Pearl, and Black versions. My Black protagonist (male) was actually the first time I really played a Pokemon game with this mentality of fashioning my own unique character out of them, the others came about in later replays of the games. I chose to name Yang after my sister named her White protagonist Yin, and the more plot-driven story of Black really helped bring out my inner Roleplayer, and Yang turned into a very calm and intense character. I ended up referring to him as the 'Pragmatic Hero' because he could actually see where Team Plasma was coming from with their mentality about setting Pokemon free, and his motivation for getting in their way was all about believing they were doing more harm than good with their methods, and represented the unbiased viewpoint of someone working towards a compromise. My Ruby protagonist (female) I named Verna and ended up with I believe the most interesting character type I've made so far with my Pokemon Characters. She ended up being an extremely reluctant participant in the game's story, constantly just ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time and having to fight Team Magma out of self-defense, which put her on their radar completely against her own desires. Eventually, though, she had to accept that she was in too deep. She knew too much about Team Magma's plans and if she didn't at least TRY to stop them, she would be just as much to blame for what they would do to the world. In spite of being terrified, she fought back and managed to save the world anyways. That said, my Pearl protagonist (female) Is easily the favorite character I've made for a Pokemon game. Her name is Lin, and unlike most of the other games protagonists, she wound up hating Team Galactic with a *passion* through her game. There were no accidents where Lin was concerned, after a while, she loathed them so completely for the way they worked that she actively decided to hunt them down. Dealing with Team Galactic became more important to her than the Gyms or even the Pokedex, which makes it a darn shame that Pearl railroaded me into completing the gyms before I even could progress the story. I would have left them behind after Gym 4 if I had the option to like you do in the Kanto games.

The names of the gen 5 protagonist are cool. Their names are references to battles. For example: Hilbert is some kind of variation of the german word "Hildbert" that means something like "bright battle" and the female protagonist also has a name related to the word battles.

i love all of the protagonists much more since i read the manga, they are so cool with a few new interessting additions like yellow

After the Opinions on the typings series, can u do the same thing but with Pokémon moves?

"They look like real people from England" The Scots won't be happy about that one...

Red - the OG Pokemon master and master of the (.......) Leaf - not much to say Ethan - the successor to Red Kris - first female protagonist Lyra - Kris replacement Brendan - don't actually have white hair, that's a beanie May - is bae according to some Lucas - wears a badass hat Dawn - sexy asf Hilbert - got a hot mom Hilda - sexy like her mom Nate - not as cool as Hilbert Rosa - not as sexy as Hilda Calem - got a hot mom Serena - sexy like her mom Elio - went from normal kid to a discount fisherman Selene - sexier than her mom Sword guy - carry around a drawer Shield girl - apparently scottish to fans

12:19 you do know that in Lets Go she go by her Manga name Green.

Me: *watches video than realizes that sun and moon protagonists don't have name* well this is going to be interesting Mystic: *says they actually have names* Me: ExCuSe Me!?

Don't play my man Lucas like that

Red, Lucas, Hilbert, Calem are my favorite male protagonists. Leaf, May, and Dawn are my favorite female protagonist

That Lucas roast . . . oof, I have a soft spot for him. Hilbert and Hilda is dope!

Fun Fact: Rosa's design is inspired by Usagi Tsukino and has the same look style. I have to admit, as badass as Hilda's design is, the short-shorts definitely look to tight on her.

Doing opinions on the manga protagonist sounds awesome

In the games, these characters are just okay. Self-insert characters that are intentionally left as blank slates. _But in the manga?_ They are extremely fun characters. Every single one of them.

5:08 Me: “All right, here we go! Lucas, the protag that got me into Pokémon!” MU: “This dude is the epitome of boring”. Me. “Shit”.

Serena's cool, but I absolutely despise her anime counterpart. She was so cliche, I couldn't stand her. She made XY unenjoyable to watch for me.

Man, Red will forever be the GOAT for me. 10 year old kid sets off on a journey to become a Pokemon Master, wipes the floor with Team Rocket, the Gym Leaders, and the Elite Four. Wanna know what I did as a 10 year old? Picked my nose and ate pizza rolls.

playing as lucas cuz diamond is my favorite character from manga

lmao my name is lucas and when you said lucas is boring i said to myself.... true

Dawn’s design has her sporting a winter jacket yet no pants. 10/10 for consistency. Meanwhile you literally just said Lucas is boring and went off without a second thought

Why is serena wearing a mega evolution stone in her arm 9:50

I always call ethan gold... and nate/hilbert black and calum X...

HOLY CRAP! I never really played Sun and Moon. But now that I have seen this... Ash's clothing from the Sun and Moon anime looks just like Elio's! :O OH MY ARCEOUS!!!

I love playing as the female protagonist

May is my favorite in the games and also the series so you having her in both seconds so well i dont regret subscribing

Lucas boring? Lmao you can’t judge the character if you haven’t read the manga, since you compared them to the anime it’s unfair for most of the male protagonists (and some of the female)

I really love everything about gen 5, yes even the anime, 50/50 on the 4th gym battle, but. Not mine first Pokemon game but one of mine favorites.

What about the manga version of the protagonists ?

Personal pet peeve of mine, I hate that people don’t call “Leaf” Green. I get that Blue/Gary is called that in Japan, and everywhere else we know him as Blue. But the manga adapted it made it so in Japan Gary=Green, and Leaf=Blue, and Vice-versa in America. It’s not like we go around calling the male protag in FireRed “Fire,” so why do the opposite for her? For awhile now I’ve felt like the manga is at least more decisive what it wants the characters to be by name AND/or personality. Shame not everyone reads it, it’s really good!

Mystic: Lucas is boring and a bad professor assistant Mystic: Dawn is the good protagonist in the games Me: Uhhh Mystic you realize that Dawn plays as Lucas if you pick Lucas

Gen 5 protag designs are so so GOOD

I aint gon lie Brendan(Ruby) is probably the most powerful trainer in the manga (in my opinion) and him and Sapphire(May) is probably one of my favourite ships

Fun fact about Lucas his Diamond and Pearl design is what ash used in his sinnoh journey in the anime, I like Lucas`design but we can definitely go without the hat.

0:26 I love how in the background, blain is having a breakdown and arcanine is basically dead. Also, Leif’s real name is green. It was confirmed by gamefreak too.

"Elio. Elio. Elio..." "I remember everything..."

You did Lucas so dirty man! I’m crying lol

Mystic my friend you need to read the Pokemon manga it's not only really good it gives the protagonists new life man

Lucas is my favorite protagonist. The guy stops team galactic and goes against Gods. Also anyone who beats Cynthia deserves to be recognized

THE LETS GO PROTAGS ARE NAMED CHASE AND ELAINE!?

Playing with Dawn made me feel slow game like Diamond and Pearl interesting and it left me wanting more from Dawn. It's like traveling with her the whole game ❤️. I've never lost a battle with my Empoleon. I hope they release Diamond and Pearl remake with both outfits of Dawn❤️

The whole time i'm just think. 'You gonna read the manga to love them even more?'
