I'm glad about the no hats feature. I personally am not the biggest fan of the female hat. Just hats in general

Esper September 22nd, 2016 3:21 PM

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?

I don't think we'd want that to happen again, considering the style was very vague and people didn't know how to raise it. But it appears the trailer has shown us some currency called Festival Coins, so we'll see how that comes into play if that's what we buy the clothes with.

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?

Most likely there'll be a festive in that city/town where boutique is, where we can play games or shopping by using Festive Coins. I think the basic assumption is using Poke Money to buy Festival Coins (hence the Game Corner-like feature). However the clothes sold may be very expensive, which is why I recall some quests give you a lot of money (Pyukumuku quest gives you $20 000 for completing it), or maybe other quests that gives you Festive Coins.

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

I am pretty we can confirm that the 2nd Island will have an outfit shop.It isn't the biggest town and is one of the less talked about areas seen on the big map.

Picture from trailer: Right hand side. Pretty sure that is an outfit shop


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.

I would imagine everyone wouldn't want that, especially if one hates the default designs of both trainers. I don't mind the default appearances, but I can see where others are going with not wanting to be stuck with them.

blue September 23rd, 2016 3:11 AM

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.

Yeah, I thought that "postgame only customization" claim would be fake. The question is, will there be a clothes shop/salon on every island? Because I'd imagine those who don't like the default protagonist designs will want to know how soon you can start getting the clothes and hairstyles.

Like X/Y, I could see each clothing shop have different clothes that change every day.

I know there's an outfit shop somewhere, but will there be more than 1 outfit shop? The latest trailer from japan only showcase the player go inside a hair saloon shop (scissor sign), then it jump onto a boutique, where we don't know where it's located at. If we were to assume the boutique is at the second island (that place is also seems appropriate for festive to be held there, with the japanese culture thingy), I guess other places won't have boutique? Because my reasons is this:

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 :/

MarinoKadame September 23rd, 2016 9:13 AM

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 ?

Iceshadow3317 September 23rd, 2016 11:44 AM

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.

Rivvon September 24th, 2016 7:10 AM

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.

Starry Windy September 24th, 2016 7:18 AM

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.

Lunar September 24th, 2016 7:40 AM

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.

Iceshadow3317 September 24th, 2016 8:01 AM

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.

I agree with them. The point of customization is to make your trainer feel more like an individual, like your adventure being more personal than ever. Given the large amount of clothing items, having several boutiques in Alola would sense. In Kalos, I believe we had around 6 with one special post-game clothing item, aka the aforementioned Pangoro hat and Slurpuff dress.

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.

blue September 25th, 2016 2:00 AM

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.

If we want a good place to grind money, we need rematchable trainers. That's why the Battle Chateau worked, because it was great for training and getting money from the trainers. Luck Incenses have actually been easier to get in most recent games due to stands that sell Incenses.

blue September 27th, 2016 1:05 AM

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.

Charlie Brown September 27th, 2016 6:26 AM

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.

blue September 27th, 2016 9:00 AM

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.
