    finally i can make a fashion statement in a pokemon game. those clothes were hella now i rly gotta consider if i wanna play as the boy or girl in these games bc those outfits and hairstyles and all blow XY and sm/usum out of the water like there better be a runway for me to strut on in this game damn..........move over elesa.........

    what did y'all think? i like that there are more hair styles and colors and you can even customize your eyebrows like???? damn. nice. also lol all the options are making me really consider whether to play as a boy or girl so has this changed your minds about your player choice as well? also i rly like the pink hair girl. the jacket she was wearing w little pastel pokemon on it. i want that but like. irl.

    We actually have some really nice options this time around.

    X/Y were a nice start but the clothes were way too pricey for their own good. Having nice jeans and a coat shouldn't have cost 6-digits for pokedollars. Gaining money on X/Y isn't necessarily easy without the amulet coin/facilities either.

    SuMo had a variety of colors but overall not a diverse selection of clothing. I get it's the tropics and that mimicking those tourist shops it's the same thing, but we should be able to wear what we want...no?

    I think Sword/Shield have not only a nice variety but a good fashion sense in general. They really feel more like casualized wear I'd actually wear...in real life. Many RPGs can get crazy with customization but it's nice to see some of them take a step back and give us something a bit more grounded as well as the fun stuff. I do think this is definitely a step up and having us FINALLY...FINALLY see the hairstyles we get is great.
     
    Is there an afro option?? I want an afro. :V
     
    I won't be impressed until I see that clothes aren't gender restricted. If a person wants to play as the girl, and wear guy's clothes, then let them.

    Please, for the love of god, let us have that option.

    I'll reserve judgment until we get the games and see what exactly the extent of our options are. I'm not going to get impressed from one trailer here. I just hope that it does turn good in the end.

    wanna live out that Miror B. fantasy, eh?
     
    I can't wait to be able to perpetually oscillate between being a fairy princess and a gothic edgelord in Pokemon as I do irl. :')

    Now that I think about it people now can even use their pokemon avatar to represent themselves in any social media. This is honestly what I expected how it would have been in XY honestly, they brought it late but is better than nothing
