I feel like they're making the protagonists older and more mature in style to appeal to Pokemon's maturing fanbase. I don't know any stats, but I'm sure a majority of Pokemon sales are older fans of previous generations. I'm not complaining though. Being a teenager, it feels awesome to be a character my age and that looks almost exactly like me!

Just a reminder please to keep the discussion more towards player customisation than thoughts on the protagonists themselves, which can be done in this thread.
I suppose being able to change some details is neat, but it's never been a feature that I cared much for in any game.

With more customization and player flexibility they can capture Animal Crossing fans and the like.

In GSC, her hair is blue, but blue = black.
Which means Dawn has black hair, too, but because of just how blue it is (and the fact it came out in later generations where "black" was feasible without looking wonky), she truly has "blue" hair.
I've been hoping for a blonde protagonist since GSC. I hated not having a MC that shared my hair colour :( I feel the same way about Harvest Moon, too! Which is why More Friends of Mineral Town is one of my favourites of the series - blonde girl!

Hmm I see. I've been waiting for a blonde protag too!!! I am brunette but omg, everytime a new gen is announced I hope for a blonde protaganist, and we finally got not one, but TWO (Although the males isn't default :P) I do hope we can customize the hair color more thouroughly than just blone, platinum blonde and brunette though. I hope we get a wide selection of colors to choose from. We haven't had a ginger protaganist yet either ;)

Since there will be clothing and accessoires available as well, then i guess there could be more haircuts and colors to chose from?
I wonder if every city will have like a store where you can buy this sort of stuff, or if you unlock it by accomplishing something??

Maybe we can get some special clothes based on past players? Maybe even some anime characters? Like the male character can have Red and Ethan's clothes thoughout the years,and both versions of Brandon and Lucas', and those of Nate and Hilbert as well. while the Female character can have their female counterparts, maybe even a black dress as a tribute to Blue (female) from Pokémon special and as a tribute to the female character who was going to be in Red and Green.

I personally hope for some basic stuff like different pants, shirts and hats where I can change the R/B/G levels of it...
Also it would be cool and smart to do cross promo clothing with the game... Like buying Mario could unlock some Mario like clothing... Something that doesn't look strange in the world, but makes sense for it to be unlocked by that game; like overalls for Mario.

In Animal Crossing you can create custom designs/prints on your clothing, and that would be an awesome idea implemented into X/Y. You could share the designs with your friends or even others over wi-fi.
Also, I like hiff8's idea. Cameo clothing (like Zelda, Mario, etc.) would be cool to see, but I honestly doubt that would happen. After all, it's just a handheld game and the feature would be mostly useless. But we'll see.

I expect the basic clothing like the ones sold in local stores like GAP and Forever 21 and cameo clothes from previous Pokemon titles, as well as other Nintendo franchises. I fear that they might add bathing suit accessories, but to be fair, Dragon Quest 9 has those type of clothing, but it only got an E 10+ rating for alcohol references and mild language rather than the inclusion of bathing suits.
Going ahead and merging this into the Player Customizations thread, but I'd definitely want something like a private school uniform attire. The ones you see a lot of in the Japanese anime. I love those! I'm expecting for there to be more basic outfits to choose from though. Nothing overly dramatic in the sense.

I hope we can customize some Pokeballs like in gen 4.

I agree with MarinoKadame, I miss the seals that we had for Gen IV.
As for actual character customization, I want them to make like it Battle Revolution in terms of clothes and accessories, and I hope we can mix and match the hair/skin tones because not everyone with fair skin has platinum blonde hair and not everyone with darker skin has black hair. I'm more like the fair girl in that I'm pale with blue eyes but my hair color is like the default girl. But anyway.

I am going to be the whitest guy there is or I might be tan or black :D!!!
Yup, I've brought up the cameo clothing options before, and still stand by it. It'd be a great way to throw in cameos that the players would recognize without having to actually throw the characters in. I could easily see things like Link and Mario popping up, and maybe something like Peach's attire from Mario Golf/Tennis popping up (since who would want to travel the region in that dress of hers?).
