6th Gen Wardrobe/Customization & Hair Options Discussion

[Dakotah]

Well yes your reasoning makes sense. I never denied that. It's just that I would personally prefer to stick to the default because of the iconicness and that for me that overules the desire to make the characters look like me. -Shrug- Just answering part of the question the thread proposed.

Well that's the neat thing about customization, you can choose to customize or not to depending on your preference. But really, should the people who don't want customization limit the game for people do?

I agree with a lot of people. I also want to see more cutsey stuff for girls. The girls didn't have much to choose from that I liked. It would be nice to have a tomboyish approach as well since I'm not into the really girly sort of clothing. I also would love if they added more options like having cat ears for girls and dog ears for boys... or something like that. Maybe even taking it to the next level by creating hats for both genders similar to the Pancham hat for boys.

I do hope they add this. It was fun to try and make your trainer look cool and unique. I was a bit disappointed with the clothing, and I was expecting much more to work with for outfits, but I bet that's probably just me.

We definitely need more haircuts, and the option to dye your hair different colors rather than simple blonde, black, brown. I have brown hair irl but got white highlights recently (upon girlfriend request), so I think adding highlights for both genders would be cool too. And because Hoenn is based off of southern japan, I see a lot more funky styles with headbands, jumpsuits, and other stuff like that. My prediction for female clothes;

*Hats will be bandannas, no hats, and beanies.
*Tops will be sleeveless sweaters (famous in southern japan culture), the default shirt/skirt, and long sleeved shirts.
*Bottom wear could have skirts, shorts, and jeans.
*Shoes will have boots (famous in southern japan culture), tennis shoes, and sandals (for all those dang water routes).
*If they include competition clothes where you can make your own fancy outfit I imagine dresses with lots of customizable features.


My prediction for male clothes is;

*Hats will have headbands, no hats, and casual baseball caps like before.
*Tops will have shirts with bubble vests (again another style in southern japan), default short sleeved trainer shirt, and jackets.
*Bottom wear could have shorts and jeans.
*Shoes will have boots and tennis shoes.
*If they include competition clothes you can make your own fancy outfit I imagine suits and ties (oh yeah ;D).


These are my predictions, this is based off of research of southern japan clothing, but to be frank I don't know if they will even add character customization in this game because it is a remake and they want to make it like the previous game as much as possible. I hope they add more customization possibilities though, I liked making my trainer look like me and it made me feel like I was in the game. Anyway I hope they add more customization rather than take it away. Feel free to add on to the list for your prediction of clothing.

*EDIT: I saw my thread was added to another's so I restated some of my opinions in this post.*

 

[Hatsune Mika]

I haven't seen much but what I have seen seems good all though it would probably help with a better selection of the wardrobe.

 

[Pepperton]

My life will significantly improve if they provide unlockable Team Aqua/Magma uniforms post-game. It's not a good sign that they didn't do something similar with Team Flare in Kalos, but I'm going to remain optimistic and hopeful. c:

That would be awesome. I hope they do something like this.

On another note, more hair colours would be great. And styles. Maybe options for wavy vs. straight hair in girls? And just all-around more options for the boys.

 

[Chr. Draco]

It would be good if they add more clothes styles, maybe bringing back some from previous generations and be able to dress like some of the gym leaders, elite four or champions and also add some pokemon costumes.

 

[Star Swirl the Bearded]

I have never used brendam and May in the original games, (cause i dont have RSE i only played in emulators, and i could use hacking tools to edit the characters) so i dont care of loosing them, and it would be nice to have in game costumization. Also, it would be nice to have oficial costumization, cause i am not a pro designer

 

[Pepperton]

It would be a waste it Game Freak doesn't take advantage of the customization feature. It was probably the only glaring discrepancy in Pokemon games, and received ultimately positive feedback. With ORAS, they need to polish the kinks, add more options, and make the shops more accessible. Maybe it's just my impercipient self, but I had a hard time finding the buildings that clothing.

 

[Salzorrah]

Maybe they could replace the Marts before with Boutiques or Hair stylists... Even if we will have a crapton of boutiques, maybe they could have it that match up with the surroundings?

That's a solid idea; usually the Marts are easily to spot, so it would be much simpler to find the shops. Maybe they should make it an option to shave the player's head, like a buzz cut, or even mohawks and other crazy haircuts - braids and cornrows? I'd certainly get my player that, just for laughs! n__n'

 

[Pokemanz]

I really hope we can customize our trainer in ORAS.

But I wish they would have more hair colors or hair styles at least.

 

[SnowpointQuincy]

I want Tuxedos, suits, and Team Rocket Gear for my trainer.

I want to edit Color on ALL of my clothes. At least sell some Dyes in the shops, or something.

 

[Universe]

... I really am on the fence about this option showing up in the remakes. It just seems kind of unlikely.

Just simply because these are remakes of games that contained solid protagonists instead of off-the-bat customizable characters. I don't know, I pretty much feel like they will just redesign our protagonists and we'll have the same general ones as before.

Because we also had many stores scattered across Kalos for the purpose of stylizing our character. I don't think they're going to add a bunch of buildings that weren't in RSE originally just for this purpose. It just doesn't seem like it would really cater to the nostalgia factor anymore if you change too much.

If they're going to have customization again (which is very likely), it'll probably show up in our 'third' X&Y game and the gens to follow instead. It just doesn't sit right with me to think of customization being in a remake.

 

[sh1nyzorua]

I agree with others about having a colour-slider. In X and Y I was SUPER picky about the clothes my characters wore because not everything that was yellow was the same shade of yellow, seriously. For me it's gotta colour-coordinate or it's a no-go.
I also want glasses! Please!
For the girls, there needs to be more tomboyish clothes like hoodies and messenger bags. I mean, the lolita-ish clothes were super cute but I wouldn't want to get those pretty dresses dirty during a battle?

 

[Pepperton]

They should make some clothes available in different towns that describe the culture of the area, like a nature-themed outfit in Fortree City's clothing store, or a swimsuit in Slateport City! They could also make it mandatory for certain clothing to be bought in order to venture into places to lower weather hazards; for example, in the desert!

 

[HaloSonic]

first off, I'd like the most logical thing. the ability to CHANGE CLOTHES IN YOUR OWN BEDROOM.
secondly, the guys didn't get many clothes/hairstyle options, which sucks, and they also need to bring more options to make the character look more like an adult for us older players. the super expensive clothes at the end of the game were kind of cool, but were only one style in different colors.
thirdly, The characters need to be able to wear the shades/glasses they have in their hats, as well as have the option of NOT wearing a hat.
also, legacy clothes from other previous player characters would also be greatly appreciated.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I hope that they'll have sandles as a footwear option. In XY we didn't get more then Boots and Sneakers, and even then it wasn't much...

I would prefer it if this never happened. It would be a pain to have to go back and change your outfit just because you want (or even need) to go into a certain area. Clothes are essentially an extra in XY; they're just for fun, so it would suck if they became part of the story for no reason.

I like it when they did that sort of thing in XY. Cyllage City had sports attire, Snowbelle City had winter attire, etc.
