when family's all that we got?
one of the coolest playthroughs of any Pokémon game I ever had was BDSP where I got to raise a Jirachi and Manaphy from level 5 from very early on in the game, it felt special simply because of their mythical status and the fact you never get them until well into postgame and they're already at least level 50

I was hoping to use the recent giveaway Victini for my nuzlocke but it came in at 50 and I’m already dedicated to my current roster

You cannot. The official site is explicit that there are four uniforms. Based on players we've seen in trailers their primary color is locked to Scarlet and Violet. Easily the worst thing we've heard about these games. I'm pretty hype for everything else but this one point is a huge downer for me.

Wasn't there some mention of being able to buy fashion accessories? Based on the non-default player characters they've shown so far in the trailers, it looks like there is variation in shoes, socks, gloves, glasses, hats, backpacks, and maybe jackets. It's better than being locked to just the 4 outfits assuming that you can't mix and match the tops and bottoms but yeah it does suck with how regressive this feels. Hopefully, only showcasing the PCs in the school uniforms is just because of their highlighting the new school aspect of the game and that there is more comprehensive customization further along in the game or, Arceus forbid, available as DLC. Otherwise, it would feel like a significant step back for a mainline game.

Nope, Haxorus is just a normal 3 stage Dragon evo. Decent stats but not 600.

It does evolve super late because :genV:

I do hope we go back to having some non-dragon pseudos. It's kinda weird we got T-tar and Metagross early on then just straight Dragons since then. And even Metagross had to share a Gen with a dragon pseudo.

I think this shows all four potential school uniform sets.
https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/119.jpg

Starting with the default PC and going right to left, you've got:
  • Short sleeve shirt and mid-thigh shorts
  • Long sleeve shirt, trousers, and suspenders (or braces if you're British)
  • Jacket, vest, shirt, and trousers
  • Long sleeve shirt, vest, and knee-length shorts

Although you can only see them from the back, you can make out each of the aforementioned uniform sets amongst your NPC cohort with no obvious mixing and matching.
https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/100.jpg

You can better make out the different shoes, socks, gloves, glasses, and hats which certainly helps or at least is better than nothing.
https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/14.jpg
https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/123.jpg

That said, having only 4 base outfits that are overall very similar gets dull after a while. Especially if you're like me and like to mix up my look every so often. Plus, if Penny can dress like that, why the gently caress can't I?

Just as long as it's catchable before the end of the game. I'd want to actually use the thing for more than just competitive play.

There are exactly 8 outfits, with only 4 available in each version. Someone compiled a clear image of it a while back and it was posted in this thread but I can't find it now.

Shorts, long sleeve, jacket, puffy vest, in orange or blue varieties depending on your version.

So really it's just four outfits you can't even change the color of except by which version you buy. For instance the jacket is gray in Scarlet and black with a weird pattern in Violet.

It's the worst!

I feel like a lot of people can't really imagine that they've dropped the ball this bad on character customization after proving that they knew what they were doing for three generations, but they really have.

And for the record, I think the game otherwise looks like it will be really good! But I do not think player customization is a minor feature. At least in the way I appreciate pokemon it has become a fundamental part of the experience that appears to be incredibly poorly implemented this generation.

Gardenia, Cilan, Ramos, and Milo are all very much advertising their grass-ness with how green they are. If not "bright" green at least saturated greens. It's nice to have one who feels like he's grass-type themed without being all green about it for a change of pace.

Though I really like green so I don't think the status quo was an issue. I can still see and appreciate that this guy is kind of a change of pace, given the tradition.

Yeah, "bright" was maybe the wrong word but they're all very green while he's much more muted. Mallow's hair, too. While looking at the actual list instead of memory, they made Erika's clothes greener for Let's Go compared to her previous appearances.

I don't think it's an issue either, it was just something I thought of while looking at Brassius' art.

For what it's worth, I was considering Cilan to be the "bright green" Gym Leader, but I didn't even realize he had the least green of the gym leaders (barring iterations of Erika. For the above image I chose her greenest outfit.) Hell, he has less green than the new gym leader too.

Looking at the official artwork, Milo's brighter green in it than I remember him being in game, but yeah, none of these characters are obnoxiously green to me, or really that significantly different from Brassius imo, other than Ramos I guess but his outfit is so simple it doesn't really stand out to me. I guess I am giving Milo a bit of a pass since Galar's gym league requires him to be a little over the top grassy.

it feels like they dropped it because they wanted more "HD" textures and it was hard to do that while also having lots of unique outfits.

but, uh, a lot of the new texture stuff looks weird and bad, so... thats not great!

(that, or they were just really into the idea of a fancy school setting for their new game, and I can't fathom why. it's the natural conclusion of SwSh making you change out of your clothes into the same plain jersey for the entire game, for Reasons™)

the human characters, both the NPCs and the PCs, all look really bad. the drawn art for all of them is good or even great but the in-game models are just really unpleasant. customization would at least help mask that for the PC but lol.
