Character Customization
|
I never used character customisation that much in X/Y but I really like the direction they're taking it. I think dying clothes is a very fitting thing for Alola, given the region's vibe, and I wonder if there'd be a way to design your own clothes to have uniquely dyed clothes, like Animal Crossing. Also the option to not wear a hat is a small thing but quite cool as well :D
|
Yeah this definitely looks like a step up from X and Y's customization and I'm super excited to try out all of the options. It seems really extensive and I love the vibrancy we can bring to our characters it just seems perfect for Alola.
|
I'm so excited for tank tops as part of the customization
|
Wow you can actually now change the color of your clothes manually? I know X/Y had different colored variants of the same clothing items, but I have to say it's definitely taken a step further. Don't be surprised if I end up spending all my cash on clothes hahahahaha
|
Finally can use white hairs which will be fantastic.
|
I think the new Ash Brown hair color option is the one that matches my hair. Definitely pleased I can now have a trainer that looks more like me.

I hope this will make up for the fashion selections for males, and I'm glad the that there are more selection of hair styles, hair colors and also contact lenses. The fact that I can pick other colors of same clothing caught me off guard a bit, but it's even more nicer, for sure.
|
I love burgundy hair. Don't know why but it has always been one thing I have loved in anime. So I am extremely glad they are getting burgundy hair. No doubt my female character in my secondary game will have Burgundy hair.
I am also glad they have the color thing. But I hope if the shirt or whatever has 2 colors, that we will be able to choose both colors and I hope they have a nice color wheel. |
For me I'm going Dark skinned with white hair for sure.
|
Fantastic news to have it 100% confirmed. Can't wait to see all the options at our disposal.
|
Yes I love this! Glad to know customization is back in full swing! Loving the options and possible changes they showed us today! White hair is love <3
|
I;m concerned by the "festival coins" we see in the trailer. i don't want to have to play minigames for clothes. I will accept battles to earn the coins though.
|
Looking at these images I think it confirms the 3 things I wanted most. Glasses, the ability to remove hats, and hopefully a bigger range of options for male character clothes.

Finally something I can be really hyped about! Honestly, this looks like it's going to be my favorite thing in the entire game... And glasses?! I'm so glad! What did Serena have against glasses that she could put them on her hat but not on her head? Did her hat have a hard time seeing?
And my friend is going to be very excited to see she can make her hair white... I hope to see this feature continue to grow in future main-series titles! |
I'm really gonna be torn on so many choices with both protagonists, I just know it. I'm even happier with the expansion of the customization considering how I'm really not a fan of either protag default designs.

But can someone tell me exactly where it was confirmed we could dye clothing? I didn't see anything about dying clothing, just saw them changing clothing, but nothing about dying. Or did I miss something? |

i really loved thet back in xy! now it's even better.
the game have a lot to offer, can't wait. |
Also, the Festival Coins may also be from taking photos with the Pokemon Snap Mechanic like feature in the games.
I just hope once we unlock the clothing, they stay unlocked similar to XY. I really hope we don't have to continuously have to pay. |

Where was it confirmed that the female avatar could wear makeup?

The bottom-left pic of this shot from the Japanese trailer shows she is apparently wearing lipstick. |

Also: Spoiler:

I'm excited to see customization return, and with more options. The dye option intrigues me, as that was something that bugged me about XY (there were certain items I liked, but I didn't really like the color they came in). Not sure if I'll ditch my hat or not, as I'm so used to having something on my head from all these generations, so I guess I'll wait to see what all of the options look like.
My guess is that I'll play around with customization for a bit, then settle on a trainer I like and never change it again. That's what I did in X. But I really liked having the option last time, as I didn't care for the default look of the XY trainer, and I feel the same way this time around about the trainers, so hopefully customization will help. |
Quote:
The new Protagonists really seem young to me this time, almost younger than they've ever been (At least compared to Hibert, Hilda, Calem and Serena) but at least hopefully there will be ways to make them look older. And to think character customization was almost only going to be an X/Y thing, I'm so glad it's returning and better than ever in this game! Also, glasses! now give me my PWT and Battle Frontier Game Freak |
I also have to agree that the default look for Solis and Luna (My names for them) look younger than 5th and 6th Gens.
But with the customization, I can easily see based on what you do, to make them look older or younger. For example, the bottom left pic that Hikamaru posted looks a lot older than the others to me. I would say there are still around the same age as the last 2 gens. |

I'm very excited about the customization in these games, especially now that it's possible to make the clothes a different color. So many times when I was playing X/Y I was disappointed because I liked certain pieces of clothing together but the color scheme never worked.
It also looks like we get the option to go without a hat which I'm also happy about, since I'm not a huge fan of hats. lol |

Hopefully, there's a battle-type game that earns you festival coins. :) |
To some degree I feel like they probably want the age of the protagonists to be up to interpretation. Especially now that trainer customization is such a big deal. So I guess depending on how you customize them they can look anywhere from 10 to 16.
|
Would any of us know if it's possible to remove the hat of the hero when customizing, just like how it is for heroine?
|
Quote:
Also, those Festival Coins that Jason pointed out - I wonder how we'll earn those if they are what we spend the clothing and hairstyles on? |
Soooo happy with this announcement. It's basically everything I could have wanted and more for customization. I was worried for the longest time we wouldn't get it and it would be forgotten, exclusive to XY.
|
I'm likely planning Ash Brown for my trainer's hair, since it resembles my actual hair color. Not sure on what clothes I'd wear, since I do want to try all of them.
|
Hold up, make up?! Seriously, it's sooo good to see them expanding character customisation to this level. I never even realised the female protagonist wearing lipstick.
|
Quote:
|
Every new design I see I love a lot. I reallly liked the girl's original design, so hmm, I'm not sure if I'll change her too much the first time around, but the boy is so generic looking that he is definitely getting a makeover. I like the design in the op :)
|
Yeah, I definitely knew for a while it would be back.. just not on this scale. The amount of detail that has gone into customisation for this gen compared to last gen is just great.

I'm glad you don't have to wear a hat in this game, why they didn't make them optional in X&Y I'll never know. Hopefully the male clothes are better this time.
|

|
The option to remove the hat makes it so much better. Most of the looks that I prefer from the recent trailers are the ones without hats.
|
Also I think the option of more hair colors also help, they also added an extra shade of skin color over XY.
|
Is anyone keeping track of how many trailer have 'finally confirmed' customisation? It feels like we have this same routine every trailer now.
It was confirmed in the first trailer. Or if you refuse to accept it unless it actually says "There is customisation in this game" (despite it appearing numerous times in trailers), I'm pretty sure they mentioned it live at E3. Dyeing stuff is cool. And yes, males can remove hats. That has also been confirmed for quite a while, it was shown in a Battle Royale. |
Quote:
|
I'm glad about the no hats feature. I personally am not the biggest fan of the female hat. Just hats in general
|
No hats. Thank goodness. I'd have been happy with just that. The option to change the color of the clothes is more than I expected and I'm pretty pleased.
I wonder what barriers there will be in getting all the different clothes. Will we be kept out of certain shops because we're not cool enough again? |
Quote:
|
I'm so so so so glad they allow the removal of the hats! I think that was my biggest pet peeve back in X&Y. I'm super glad it decided to make a return and they even expanded on the feature. I was actually really fond of the male's outfits they showed in the teaser.
|
I'm glad to see that Customization will be making a comeback for Sun/Moon, and in a somewhat more expansive form. However, I'm concerned about two things:
*How will the Festival Coins be obtained? Does this mean a return of a Game Corner-like feature, is it something that can only be done by connecting to other players online, or whatever? *Someone on BMGF claimed that customization with outfits will only be available in the post-game. Why restrict the feature to after finishing the main game when it was previously available much sooner in X/Y? |
Quote:
That aside, do you guys think that the boutique shop will be only at 1 area, which is that specific city/town? Since the boutique uses Festive Coins I can't see any other city/area having a boutique and not using Festive Coins, but using normal Poke Money instead. That would be odd, cause that will make Festive Coins a bit redundant. |
For some reason I'm most excited about the triangular bags lol
|
Quote:
Picture from trailer: Right hand side. Pretty sure that is an outfit shop Spoiler:
Island and Location: Orange circle is about where the outfit shop is at. Put the circle on the other side of the town. The big map didn't show the 2nd Arc at the north part. Spoiler:
|
Quote:
|
I highly doubt that. We saw that clothes shop in the Town on the second island, surely they wouldn't close that off until post-game. I would see absolutely no benefit of doing that, especially since they made a point of character customisation in the latest trailer.
|
Quote:
Like X/Y, I could see each clothing shop have different clothes that change every day. |
Quote:
1. if there are another boutique, will they need Festive Coins as well? 2. if they need Festive Coins as well, does that mean there's festivals (hence same mini-games, since festives are about them) on every island? that seems like a "copy + paste" which could make things boring. 3. if other boutiques won't need Festive Coins and just uses normal cash, then why implement Festive Coins if you can just set the price higher with normal cash? I just assume there'll be 1 boutique in the game because I dont think festivals all over the Alola Region are logical to me. Yet maybe I'm just thinking too much on the Festive Coins :/ |
XY only had 1 post game outfit, Slurrpuff dress for female and Pangoro hat for male. I don't think they will lock clothes for post game.
Festive coins is maybe for some type of special clothes, what if you can get some Kimono and other special occasion outfits with them ? |
As others have said and as I said in my post, I am positive there will be more than 1 outfit shop. There might be one on Melemele, but I cannot tell from the pictures we have seen. I think there is also one other city or town on Melemele that is north of the big town there, so we might have one there.
We know there is one on Akala, as I showed above. I think there will be at least one more somewhere on that island. Big Island I am certain will also have 1 or 2. The last island, the one with the canyons, is the town that has all the boat houses in the trailers. But again, I was not able to see an outfit shop. I think Kalos had 6 Outfit Shops. I don't know why they would have any less than that unless the shops were expanded to a much larger section, but I think there will still be at least one on each island, as i would think they would want to catch each Island's Style. There area areas on the map, on every island, that could give us festival coins. And I don't know why they would lock customization behind the storyline. Even in Kalos, we were at least able to change hats. As for the Salon there is probably only one. I am pretty sure that it is on first island or second island as well, but not in the same town as the outfit shop I posted above. As there is no real reason to have more than 1. But who knows? We were able to change hair as soon as we got by the 1st Gym once we did the stuff in Lumious, so being on the first island is likely. |
Just so long as they did what XY did and have a hat shop very early on so I can change that awful hat asap I don't mind if I have to wait a bit longer for the real changing of clothes and hair. But keeping it all for the post-game is unreasonable.
|
I'm not sure if they would introduce the customization after getting through post-game, since some people wanted to change the trainer's appearance on the get-go, so I think the customization saloon/shop should appear in Sun/Moon on at least second or third town/city they visited just like in X and Y.
|
Having character customization post-game just wouldn't make sense, it would really reduce the feeling of your own adventure. Plus, there's almost guaranteed to be outfit shops throughout Alola.
|
There might be one post game shop, but I think it just be new designs and cost a lot more.
I don't know what it would have, but I kinda consider the Lumiose Boutique as a Post Game Shop, even though I think people got in it before finishing the game somehow. I know I didn't get to get until after I finished the game and Investigation Missions. |

My guess for how many boutiques in Alola - considering there's four islands I could say four, each one having different items that are on offer every day like in X/Y, but having one boutique on each island. I could also see two for each island, having eight all together if they really want to have a lot of options in this game. |
I would think that each island would hold at least one boutique and/or hair salon. X/Y had the first clothes shop in Santalune City, that meant you could change your clothes before even getting the first badge. It would be pointless to introduce (or expand) such a fundamental feature only for it to be activated post-game.

VS. Seeker would be perfect for making good money. In Platinum you could attach an Amulet coin to a pokemon and just rematch the socialites on the Route south of Hearthome getting 12k each battle, both of them with only one Pokemon each iirc. Money for clothes is a must, especially if S/M has expanded the variety.
|
The trailers showed Festival Coins or something similar being used to purchase clothes, right? Maybe that currency would only be used for clothes so your income supply wouldn't be too affected? Unless that currency is just for special events or types of clothes.
|
Maybe the festival coins are used to unlock or purchase special clothing items, kind and like how Battle Points work. In the trailer the player only had a low amount which would imply that you can still use the normal currency to purchase clothes and accessories, whilst the more rare items can be bought with Festival Coins.
|
I'd like to be able to put on a lab coat so I can be the Pokemon Professor.
|
I kind of hope we can still use Poké Dollars for buying clothes. Since the "chuck Pyukumuku back into the water" mini-game gives you a ton of money... I always thought that was a potential way to get money to prepare for buying clothes. There may even be other similar mini-games in the game to help offset the high price of clothes.

It has to be something we can do during the main game, so I don't think it will be too big of a grind fest, unless you really want something. I still say some things are this: Taking Photos for people with the Snap like feature. Battles in certain places. Rewards from doing miniquests. Rewards for catching certain pokemon at a given time. In Game Contests like Bug Catching (I kinda hope something like this returns) |
Maybe we only get festival coins in sun and moon:D? Have we seen classic pokedollaes somewhere so far?
Another Theory would be that these coins are earned through some special competion, event, etc and are an optional way to pay for clothes. You can also pay with normal money, but also with this special currency. Like pokémiles or battlepoints. |

Have we seen any info yet about where we can get some for sure? if not, my guess is that it could be something similar to a battle frontier, but using the name 'festival coins' instead of 'battle points'?
|
I'm really excited for customization to return! I love the female protagonist's default hairstyle, I think it's super cute and looks good with hats.
One thing that really threw me off in XY was that my character would look good in the preview, but then in-game she kind of looks like a potato with a really long torso and stubby legs, which made a lot of clothes look weird IMO. I don't mind a "cute" style, but the body was just way too long, and I'm so glad they went with more attractive body proportions here. |
So I posted this in another thread but thought it's a relevant discussion to be had here. I think it would be really cool if we had an online marketplace-type thing for the clothes that we 'dye', where you can look through other people's designs and download/purchase ones that you think are cool. Would be a cool way to increase connectivity and link it up with trainer customisation imo!
|
They had something like that in Animal Crossing for the 3DS where players could share their designs via QR Code. I didn't create any but there were some awesome designs which I also think would work nicely for S/M. It would be a great way to utilize and expand the connectivity for the games, moreso than X/Y did.
|
The official site makes it look like you can only dye white clothes, and only dye them in one solid colour. No designs or anything fancy.

So we were right to assume what we did.
However, I was not expecting it at all to be like the online gaming area like we had in HGSS. I just hope it is more active and we can do some stuff solo. Because some people are just too good. And hopefully, even if we lose, we will still get some coins. It is also possible that the festival coins could just be for specific things. I haven't read the main site yet so there might be more news. |
Quote:
DPP remakes with character customization confirmed? I think that's what the evidence points to. |
I think that we will have normal shops like we did in Kalos, but we will not be able to get a few designs and some hair styles, as well as coloring outfits until after we do some stuff at the festival. We have outfit shops in the game, but this stuff seems to be different from the Festival.
I think the festival and festival coins may be a large extension of customization. I wouldn't be surprised if they help holiday events there as well because it said some events would come up for everyone playing the games to work together and complete. There might also be holiday outfits. Sophicles seems to be the leader of the place, so we might have to finish his trial before we unlock the island. It also seems like there is just Dyeing and Berry Dyeing. So we will probably have colors based on the berries in the game. We might also have some default dyes. If that is the case, then we will have a fairly large number of colors to work with. Although not all of the berries may be included. |
I'm enamored with the fact you can radically change your character.
