6th Gen Player Customization

Branching out on the idea of customizable trainers, wouldn't it be cool if at the beginning of the game, it asks for your age and creates an avatar based on that age? So the hero could look younger or older depending on what age you select.

Do you think it's time for customizable characters?

I do think its a little over due I say there should be a feature where you either choose one of the main protagonist or to create your own character or atleast make the main protagonist customizable so you won't really be changing the character but you could make the trainer look how you want it ehh it's just a thought

Yes. We should have had this a few games ago IMO. Especially how ridiculous the last male protagonist was in B2/W2. If it's my very own pokemon adventure, why can't I make my own avatar?

Exactly how I feel it would make wifi battles more interesting because it would show player imagination on how they feel they would look if they became trainers ehh just saying it wouldn't hurt

I saw somewhere that there was a glitch that the male's glasses fell off when he was swinging on the branch. This possibly means that the glasses aren't attached to his model, meaning they could be taken off or changed, aka the protagonist could be customized? I thought that was a really interesting point! ^^

Honestly I never sought after this feature. I guess now that the game is 3D, I can get into some custimizations. I was just always fine with the given avatar. Wifi battles could be solved by selecting a traner skin before a battle also. But I just hope we can get rid of those sunglasses. .-.

Customizations could help distinguish each other's trainer. It is kind of wierd that when we do link battle/wifi battle/random matchup we are battling people that look like another copies of us. It would be interesting to let the game to implement this.

Really hope it comes through, then everyone won't look the same!

Does look like we are finally getting it

If there is customization, it would be awesome if some articles of customizable clothing were easter eggs from other Nintendo games. If I could walk around a Pokemon world wearing Link's hat, my life would be complete.

Further evidence to back-up Player Customization is the fact that the Player isn't seen throwing a Pokemon when a battle begins in the videos. Perhaps they can't have that feature in the game because of the wide variety of player sprites...

It would be great to have customization in these games. I would actually look different from everyone else. (Finally!!)

That's a good point but perhaps the throwing Pokeball thing just doesn't occur in a few situations and otherwise occurs in others, since we don't know if it's just a one-time thing for now.

I hope so. Player customization would be a good addition in the game compared to previous games.

I'd like character customization to be implemented someday. I don't think it will for X and Y, but we can dream.

But it has be full-blown customization for me to be satisfied. Not just face, but clothes too!

If XY does have customization, it will be small, like sunglasses or hat. Most people would be happy with that, even if it seems small.

Didn't Dragon Quest 9 for the DS have custom characters and a similar visual style to XY?

In my opinion I really don't care about character customization, sure it would be nice but I can get used to the main characters.

I really hope that it is player customization. I can't see any other reason why they would show the character standing in the mirror else. Unless it was to show off the character... but I don't think so! it would be awesome to be able to customize our character, even if it was just the clothes .^_^.

What I'd also like to see in the customization in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y is also the type of bag you'd be wearing, not just the hat, clothing, shoes and sunglasses. It would also be nice to see scarfs in the game as well, anything to do with accessories. Maybe even badges you could put on your character? And maybe even the Gym Badges you'd be able to put on as well?

There's a huge opportunity for many of those things to be implemented. Even some places may expect the player to be wearing certain things, most certainly to maybe even disguise as the evil team's Grunt or something, like how it was in HeartGold and SoulSilver in a way.
