SwSh Trainer/Player Character Customization Discussion

[Sakuraa]

Looking at the embargo stuff, it looks like we'll have a huge load of options available within the first 90 minutes of the game. It's awesome.

Hop is apparently friendly, but he's not obsessed with the MC, but on something else (my guess is Dandel).

 

[Poke Dragon]

Any more Pokemon cosplays? I hope they aren't limited to just popular Pokemon. I know they can't make the cosplay for every single Pokemon, but I would like to at least see an indication that they won't just make stuff that resembles popular Pokemon.

 

[Cute Charm]

Sorry to dash anyone's hope of being a Pokemaniac/furry, but I think that may be a filler trainer.

They're much too short compared to the other two.

 

[BackSet]

The other two are also likely filler trainers. They greatly resemble either the Rangers or Ace Trainers of a previous generation.

 

[Battista]

Really hoping these make it to other countries; so far it’s a Japanese pre-order bonus only.

 

[Cute Charm]

This game is going to be hell for completionists due to all the exclusive pre-order outfits and bags.

 

[Dizzard]

In general I prefer the outfits we've seen in these games over Sun and Moon. I really wasn't a fan of the clothing options in that game.

I think this is the first time we have access to some brighter hair colours as well? Which is cool.

That's highly unlikely based on the information given unless the Poke Kid trainer class makes a return from Gen IV.

Who says it won't? I mean the original pokekid was a Pikachu. Them being an Eevee now would make a lot of sense given how Eevee is the second mascot now. There's also the chance of the mythical Gen IV remakes this gen. So if the hype is true we would be seeing a lot of returning trainers that only showed up once since then.

Not to mention lot of the reactions from the commentators I've been seeing are about how how we can "finally dress as eevee!" But no one reviewer from the actual 90 minute playthroughs has mentioned it.

Besides, filler trainers have been confirmed for a long time for those who play offline or online with nobody around.

The only other thing that it could be is like how on PSS you could set your icon to a pre-existing trainer. Maybe if you do that in these games, you get the whole model too.

The customization seems quite honestly amazing in this game and i cant wait to test it out. Also i know its a bit too much to ask for but it would be so cool if they somehow managed to add Ash/Brocks or Mistys costumes in game as some exclusive

 

[BackSet]

I would be perfectly fine with Pokemon DLC if it was just additional clothes.

 

[PinkIceFox]

Is there anyone else hoping that whomever of the player character's family we get to meet will have appearances based off which of the starting presets you get? I was just thinking about that and I really hope we get to have family that actually are based off the colors we pick and stuff.

 

[Matleo]

you wanted customizatio then don't complain about low amount of pokemon , forms , moves and abilities... hope they use at least custimaztion files and some stuff to avoid making all from the scratch...

There previous games were with customisation and all the Pokemon. Your remark doesn’t make sense.

 

[BackSet]

Customization, while cool and a thing I love, in no way makes up for the lack of a national des. Granted, I don't care all that much but still.

 

[Cute Charm]

Different clothes take up a fraction of what 15 diffrent models of 800+ pokemon do. Having more customization options isn't the reason Dexit happened.

If anything I say it was because the bigger towns, trying to optimize the games to be less laggy when more than 2 models are on the screen, overworld encounters, and testing out the movable camera in the wild area which means having a 360° skybox, background, and middleground instead of just half or a quarter viewable to the player.

 

[Diamandis]

I usually play as male characters in pokemon games, but after seeing how much the female clothes are serving and how many options there are for them I think I may create a female character this gen.

 

[PinkIceFox]

Pretty sure the amount of trainer customization stuff had absolutely no effect on the decision for the 'dexit' thing lol

 

[Phosphene]

Not certain if this appropriate here, but since there’s no League Card thread (to my knowledge)...

I’m a little disappointed that no Z-move poses are available as possible poses for your League Card. I like a lot of them and I think it would’ve been a neat little callback.
