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.

I am intrigued to find out how we earn those Festival Coins, especially if we seem to be using them to buy the clothes instead of our usual Pokedollars.

Yeah. I really hope they explain them in the coming Corocoro or the news we get on the fourth. I just hope it isn't a grind fest. It can't be too much worse than Kalos, or at least I wouldn't think. That would be taking a large step back and possibly having a lot of backlash.

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.

I think this would be really cool! For example like the Pyukumuku sidequest, have they revealed what the reward is for completing that? I can see Festival Coins being a cool reward for that - it's something different which adds value for doing the quests and making use of some of SuMo's added features.

If I recall correctly, wasn't it shown to reward the player with 20, 000 Pokedollars?

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.

Charlie Brown October 2nd, 2016 11:27 PM

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.

Still not a bad start. Depending on how many different kinds of clothes there are, this "shortcoming" won't really weaken the feature but rather offer an opportunity to expand upon it in the future. It won't be long before we get Style Savvy-levels of customization options. Cue maniacal laughter.

Nope, Customization is 3DS exclusive, no fun allowed, dreams are crushed.

Iceshadow3317 October 4th, 2016 5:27 AM

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.

Only the 3DS knows how to be fashionable. Wait... But the first Style Savvy game was on the DS. And DPP were on the DS...
DPP remakes with character customization confirmed? I think that's what the evidence points to.

Iceshadow3317 October 4th, 2016 12:35 PM

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.
