I just thought the contrast between the outfits was weird.
Guy in pants with a full sleeve jacket and ball cap. Looks like a normal guy.
Girl in short shorts and damned hiking boots, a top with no sleeves, and a really goofy "trailer park style" haircut. Looks like she needs some help from professionals in picking out an outfit that doesn't scream "I AM AN IDIOT!"
Okay, that's a bit odd then. Whatever, not terribly important though. You spend more time looking at tiny little sprites, and you only see the fully drawn version for a second or two before each battle.
My game does claim it's winter right now though (although much like nighttime, you can't really tell because they don't make it look wintery just like they don't make it look dark), so I have to imagine that the guy going through the game would be thinking "Man it's chilly out here." while the girl is going "
FUCK IT'S COLD!!!"
Unless her outfit is made out of the same nonsense the people in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs had that also magically makes your bare flesh immune to cold as well. I don't care how warm you claim your uniform is, lady. It's not even covering your arms or legs, your ass is going to get cold up on that snowy mountain.

I miss the R/S/E design.
Especially the greened up ones from Emerard.
Loved those sprites.
That said, it really doesn't matter.
Yeah, Brendan and May were both outfitted rather well. Although finding out that the spiky white thing is actually just one very strange hat instead of white hair and a headband was a real mindfuck.
