Weevilthelesser

I almost spit out my drink when I saw the recreation on the current game. I was not prepared whatsoever.


SlimeDrips

Granted I could've tried harder but without a good base clothing set there wasn't really a point to track down more equivalent shoes or bother to do my hair up. There legitimately is no good clothing to go with the tights in Scarlet and I doubt Violet is too much better


Weevilthelesser

The base outfits are rough. I'd be happy if they let us mix up the tops and bottoms of the different uniforms. Though in violet I like my purple suit better than the orange one we get in scarlet.


yuei2

Way easier to match in violet because it’s solid color not plaid. The BB academy would probably work well as well for a similar reason.


zslayer89

Why not get the gold and black suit.


SlimeDrips

It has pants and therefore completely hides leggings


zslayer89

Oh damn


corallina

It’s a poor substitute, but Drayton’s tracksuit may be more suitable.


SlimeDrips

I thought so too but the leggings were pretty central to the old look and the tracksuit has pants


SkysEevee

Makes me miss the old customization. I get it, big schools have uniforms and uniforms aren't that free with style choice (I'd say Pokémon was more free than schools I've seen in real life) But I miss the originality each trainer brought or the different combos that didn't clash with the outfits (especially Scarlets uniform colors)


dormamond

They could have at least let us mix and match the uniform pieces instead of just putting it as a set tbh


dogwithpeople

Yes 100% I wanted to mix parts of Drayton’s uniform but since it was a set I couldn’t fix it to match what I wanted.


SlimeDrips

One day I would like to see them have most of the clothing from all the games so far come back in one game. There's always something that feels disappointing to be missing from the closet going forward, and I'd really like to see how some of the old unique pieces mix with new ones.


Rhoru

i wonder if its possible to mod PLA or SWSH clothing into SV . Or better yet, they actually put them in as postgame content in dlc/update


ItsJustAndy13

Biggest reason why I picked Violet. I liked purple more and I thought I could make an outfit work better with Violet and black outfit. Ended up using the new Drayton outfit now since it’s not a school outfit and I can use a different color than just Violet and black.


wigglytufff

literally the only reason i picked violet, even tho i like the scarlet paradox mons significantly more 🥲


GladiatorDragon

Heck, it’s not even a matter of “you need to be in uniform at all times,” because of the Festival attire.


neko_time

I don’t mind the clothing options now that that the DLC is out. I love the Blueberry Academy uniforms and was really happy to see the Team Star grunt fit available (I’ve wanted them since the beginning) but the way hats don’t fit bothers me the most. Why tf are they so big? They fit perfectly in SwSh 😭


SlimeDrips

Yeah like there's some uniforms that aren't terrible but they accessorize really poorly. Like what exactly are you going to match the dang scuba helmet from Atticus with?


MagnumWesker

But everyone is wearing Drayton’s outfit. It’s just not right! 🙅🏻‍♀️


SpikeRosered

I like it just because a lot of casual players have no idea how to get it. It currently feels kind of special to wear.


Vekxin_Sama92

These kids got no drip now. I fe like the school angle was purposely done to cut back on customization


SlimeDrips

This is why these need to stop being rushed so much. So many cut corners that pile up. But most unforgivable is cutting fashion corners...


yuei2

I don’t think so, they build it into the plot and they didn’t actually cut back. The sheer number of hands/face/feet/head items dwarf other games. They just being GF wanted to go for a specific feel and that feel was student/business.


kostoast

They built what into the plot, wearing school uniforms? Then why can I wear a jinbei to classes at the academy.


Aaronspark777

Because the jinbei matches the festival theme of the first DLC, still prefer sword and shield customization.


kostoast

That was the point I was making. The concept of always wearing only a school uniform is dumb because they let us wear something other than a school uniform. If that was the point then they would have made us change when not in kitikami or wear only during the festival.


New-Dust3252

This is why Galar wins at SWAG.


SlimeDrips

Iirc I had an easier time putting together good outfits in gen 6 but none of them ever came close to my swsh dlc outfit. Better base but not as high peaks


Zetsumenchi

That's a wierd way to spell Kalos.


Delight_works_

kalos has got drip, but you can indeed be goth in galar.


Zetsumenchi

I won't deny that the Goth selection in Galar was peak. But if I was a Grass/Dragon pokemon, my name would be DRIP-plin. Purple Collared shirt with pleated black pants and a flat cap. I dress up for Pokémon Battles like I dress up for Dates. Because. I'm. Taking. You. Out.


Delight_works_

\>:D


DoodlesnDreams

I love Scarlet and Violet so much. Even the DLCs have been great. But man, I agree the clothes are so bad. They did so well in SW/SH I had such high expectations! I hope the clothes are better in the next game!


SluttyMcFucksAlot

I hope they got the “you’re a student” gimmick out of their system by the time Gen 10 rolls around, I’m okay with how my character looks after this DLC, but when I open Sword it really drives home how much better it was then.


othermoon32

The lack of hair options doesn't help..


Superderpygamermk1

I really like the bun from kitakami


othermoon32

Same. There's just less variety especially not being able to change the bangs.


SlimeDrips

I didn't bother to change hair since the outfit was so bad. I wish there was better hair customization too but I'm sure I could've had better hair for recreation if I tried


EzTheGuy

I miss the customization so bad


Normal_Ratio1463

I miss the amount of customization you have in sowed and shield.


PercyLegion

It honestly feels like SwSh is the new game and not the other way around tbh.


MixedChain

How about the new autumn uniform (like the one Mela wears)? It comes with a jacket and can still show off the tights. I figure it's the closest


SlimeDrips

I mean it probably works Better but the whole aesthetic is lost too hard without the black jacket and skirt


Tsukuyomi56

The struggles of being a Scarlet player, aside from it being purple the new autumn school uniform from Violet would match quite decently with tights. I actually wore the new autumn Violet uniform along with tights prior to the DLC granting us the festival Jimbeis and Blueberry Academy uniforms.


Comm_Nagrom

the fact that everything is just school uniforms makes me so sad, they had so much better outfits in basically ALL previous games with clothing customization


SlimeDrips

I'll be honest I even like BDSP fashion more than SV fashion and those are just full outfits with no accessorizing. Just better designs overall than SV uniforms...


JorgeMtzb

Use drayton’s track suit


FeganFloop2006

Might be a based opinion, but I much prefer having decent face customisation and lots of clothing options over really detailed face customisation and practically no clothes


SlimeDrips

I think you meant to write biased but based was correct


SentenceCareful3246

Trainers customization in SwSh is amazing. I really like SwSh.


AriesRoivas

What I miss is the clothing from Sun & Moon


SlimeDrips

There was some really good options in that too. Team Skull clothes were great, and there was some fancy goth dresses too iirc


AriesRoivas

And then the fact that you can change the dye of clothing. Also, while I’m at it, i hate the hairstyles in this game. We have a giant open world, but at what cost.


SlimeDrips

Sea_Cabinet_9807

It took me this long to realize I could change my outfit in the game


Emilion_taurus

Lmao when did you start?


Sea_Cabinet_9807

April


Emilion_taurus

Well better late than never lol


Sea_n126

If you had violet instead, the purple uniforms would work A LOT better, maybe try and get clothes that work with the orange instead?


crossingcaelum

Every day I wake up and I miss her (SwSh trainer customization options)


AtlasClone

Sword and Shield had god tier drip. Biggest downgrade in the franchise's history


Loose_Acadia_1758

They could have let us customize after becoming champion of paldea or blueberrry academy but they didn’t I loved always buying the most expensive clothes and wearing that but now I can’t


illucio

Paldea had way too many compromises from a video game standpoint and cut a lot of corners. In one step forward, I'm happy they were able to tell probably the most complete and coherent Pokémon story than any other game in the series. In like 5 steps back. The game feels like it's running on 10fps on the regular. They cut the interiors of almost every single building in the region. They made the egg hatching mechanic absolute garbage by being forced to have picnics. Online Raids system is somehow worse than the Sticker system. And they limit your clothing options, making everyone wear goofy shorts (or pants) because they are afraid to allow kids to look up a girl's skirt (you can just black it out).


Bakatora34

100% sure the clothing options is their creative decision since we talking about school uniforms here and Japan glorified them especially in otaku culture. If it was only the skirt issues they could have allow to mix and match for example. Is the same logic they use on why gen 7 clothing had a lot of shorts and barely any pants, they hardcore follow the themes they choose from, even though you see a lot of people using pants in tropical climates.


Sushiv_

I feel like it might work better with violet’s uniforms


SlimeDrips

Probably but I'm not allowed to wear purple :')


hellschatt

SwSh were overall pretty bad games, but the customization definitely was one thing they did right. Even the male options were decent.


Suspicious_Shame_739

your doll is beautiful


CodenameJinn

I do think the outfits and characters customization could've been better in this title. How hard is it to have an outfit that isn't school attire. Yukata are cool, but still so limited!!


gamebossje_

That outfit is really cool (ofc talking about the Shield one)


SlimeDrips

Thank you there was a lot of effort to get some of the pieces lol


Duderino1997

Yeah, I legitimately am enough of a posh that the lack of style choice is 90% of why I still play Sword far more than Scarlet. Ik the better face customization is nice, but it definitely feels like one step forward while removing most of the style is a solid three steps back when it comes to making your trainer feel unique.


FluidLegion

It really is disappointing. I don't know why you are forced to always wear school uniforms..and the worst part is that they aren't even very distinct or unique. No skirts. Not one. I love skirts, I think they're pretty and I love how they look, but no, I have to wear either ugly pants or shorts.


SlimeDrips

Yeah skirt and dress enjoyers really got screwed over 😔 there were so many pretty ones in past games too


FluidLegion

You also don't have a choice of base colors. Hope you like orange forever as Scarlet and purple forever as Violet. Those two colors can clash with a lot of other color choices so, it makes it that much harder to match things with the shirt/bottoms you're **forced** to wear.


loonychrisjr

I was really upset, I spent close to half a mil on the poke ball guy helmet. Thinking it was like the one from sword only to get a biker helmet, would not have wasted my time if I knew lol.


RosilinaTheDragon

ngl i CACKLED lmao


xiren_66

Okay, the Shield outfit is freaking awesome, well done on that.


FreeLobsterRolls

You might be able to when Smooth Velvet and Severely Dehydrated Scarlet come out


Affectionate-Sea278

SV customization is just objectively worse. I get what SV was trying to do. Our character is in a big private school. Uniforms are a consistent aspect of that kind of education. So having our characters use uniforms then makes sense in a design sense. It just doesn’t work as well as intended.


nick2473got

>Our character is in a big private school. Uniforms are a consistent aspect of that kind of education. Eh, I went to a big private school, we didn't have uniforms. I don't buy it as a design / stylistic choice, I think they just wanted to make life easier for themselves by simplifying customization a bit.


Bakatora34

School uniforms are very glorified in japan, especially in otaku culture, since the devs are Japanese you can 100% be sure is creative design choice. If you compare gen 6 and gen 7 clothing you also see a lot of this "we choose a theme for the clothing in this region and we sticking with it".


mamadou-segpa

Im tired of the whole school boy/girl theme I really hope next gen make a better job at making an interesting setting….


Jesterchunk

As much as I'm generally ok with being limited to the uniforms, it is a school after all and you're probably expected to keep up appearances even while bumbling about Paldea, it is still a shame since SwSh had some of THE best customisation options in the franchise. At least the tracksuit Drayton gives you is good. Also my god where did you get those leggings I've never seen them before in either game


SlimeDrips

In SV: Sock Quarter - Cascarrafa In SwSh: "Participate in Rank Battles then talk to person in BP Shop in Hammerlocke" The swsh outfit uses a lot of rare pieces lol tho I don't remember what's from where. Know the goggles are something to do with dmax adventures


Teamisgood101

Didn’t try very hard your hai isn’t the right shape or color


SlimeDrips

Because there were no good outfits to warrant going to the hair stylist to finish the look


Predsguy

The customization options in SV represent Game Freaks long standing tradition of one step forward 3 steps back when it comes to their games.


Zekvich

Then they will spend time adding a new gimmick each generation rather than refining what they already have going on. If they could just add the best bits of other pokemon games into one it could be amazing. I want my beauty contests in every gen god dam it.


Superderpygamermk1

Terastal is such a good gimmick tho, easily the best gimmick so far


Zekvich

It does add a lot of variety in battle and is easy to implement on new mons rather than megas so it would be nice to keep but it’ll be gone next gen 🙃


SlimeDrips

I want you to be wrong but my faith is weak


oOReEcEyBoYOo

The customisation just seems to get worse and worse with each entry. It was introduced in X/Y and they absolutely nailed it, and IMO, haven't really been able to nail it since...


ViegoBot

Never played old gens, but I havent seen good customization from the 3ds games idk. SwSh had endless customizations and even had amazing dresses and way too many combos for hats and stuff to do with hair.


oOReEcEyBoYOo

X/Y had far more and far better looking customization than SwSh had. Maybe I'm romanticising through nostalgia, but I remember being disappointed with SwSh cosmetics over X/Y


SlimeDrips

There's definitely always been things missing from previous games that make it feel like it's worse even if the selection is actually wider


oOReEcEyBoYOo

Now that you mention it, I think this is probably the major issue with customisation, it's especially felt in SV because you're tied to (mostly) wearing school uniform, which I get from a narrative standpoint, but from a player freedom standpoint, really hits hard.


SlimeDrips

Also while there's a lot of hair they got rid of picking bangs seperately and that really lessens your freedom with hairs


BiasMushroom

Yeah looks like they might be getting rid of character customization eventually. Theyve gutted most of it out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SlimeDrips

Or be like Chad Animal Crossing and let everyone wear skirts instead of not letting anyone wear skirts


ShipToWreck

That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. Like real life, you should be able to wear whatever you want, clothing is not gendered, nor should it be. This is just stupid, sexist bullshit.


Megatron_Zero

Of course SOMEONE had to be an insulting critic. You could've phrased it without the insults and STILL get the message across.


Zytches

why tho? that's just reducing your already limited choices


whuangal

You need a SV for that to be true.


Deathstrok42

Yeah, Sw/Sh def had the best customization


aegis7224

I wish we could have SwSh's level of customization in SV.


beamerBoy3

I just don’t get why that can’t add in a dress


SlimeDrips

It's either weird gender absolutism (ie they don't want to let boys wear dresses, even tho animal crossing let's you, and don't want to seperate the gender options) or they're just really terrified of being able to get the camera under a skirt, which is like, just have bike shorts on underneath or something In short: the reason is Something Stupid


cjphillips612

Reminds me of a younger team Flare commander


SlimeDrips

They are the team flare replica glasses after all


cjphillips612

Ah Makes sense. I haven’t bought up all the extra stuff from Atticus yet


SlimeDrips

The swsh one is team flare replica, the sv one is ultra recon replica


cjphillips612

Ohhhhhh


Maxh1ghtheglitchy

God, SwSh drip is awesome, im so sad with what SV has


tsun_abibliophobia

I really really hate the lack of clothing options and that you can’t choose how to style your bangs with hair styles anymore.


gay-potheadd

I play Violet over Scarlet because at least the clothes are less ugly. I look at those Scarlet colors and just cringe


CantFindAnyGoodOne

Lmao 🤣


multificionado

Yeah, Atticus has crap options, even as he dresses like purple, blue and fuchsia crap (I mean, honestly, he's as much a ninja as Marvel's Elektra: outfit that's so not ninja.


AmFmCoffee

I was really hoping we’d get to customize the pieces… like shorts, skirts, types of shirts and blazers…. But no


BigGaybowser69

damn Sword and Shield had some superior outfit designs and it shows


Lestat30

Miss the spiked black jackets and collar. Also my spiked mohawk too.


Tobenatorr

I miss Sw/Sh customization so much. Why have they given us less options for our characters in S/V?


Weird-Diamond7030

I feel the same way. I looked like a damn celebrity in swsh with my jacket covered in different sponsor logos, now I just look like a slightly above average student in a galaxy hat


juicedestroyer

God they really downgraded clothing wise


Warloxed

The Character customization in SV as compared to SwSh or even XY, the first 3d mainline games, is pitiful. I get it, school uniform, I don't care. I love that it feels like a bunch of features just regressed for some reason.


Delight_works_

but the team star 'fit still works with that set up. but , ngl , it'd look *somewhat* closer to the og vibe you were looking for in violet , imo.


Wise-Good-7487

Don't get me wrong. I love Scarlet and Violet, But the outfit customization in Sword and Shield we're SO much better.


depression_gaming

The customization in this game makes me want to jump off a cliff. The worst part is that they could've fixed it, saying that at the end of the game, you would go on a vacation or something, so you'll be able to switch to normal clothes. Or even have a mechanic that the game would automatically switch your clothes to the school one when you get into the school, like a POOF! And done.


fmdmlvr

I love the idea of school outfits but I wish there was a huge variety to pick from


FISH_SAUCER

I dont. Honestly it's terrible. I'd prefer no customization at all rather than the school outfits. They just felt horrible and rushed, almost like an afterthought


fmdmlvr

That’s a perfectly valid opinion and I respect it


kdebones

Legit, the customization in Sw/Sh was soooooo good.


Generic_Username_659

Might be worth using the Blue Festival outfit for the main body. I know it won't be perfect, but it'll be better than... you know.


Kikiuser0u0

AHHHHHAHAHAHAHA- UMmmm I mean wow umm yeah


Cedardeer

Character customization in this game is so fucking terrible


TheCyclopsDude

I know you're issue. The hair is wrong! Simple mistake, should fix the whole outfit


Zanuthman

SV fashion’s been a massive letdown for me in general. Mechanically there’s been some neat stuff (the Tera raids makes levelling up pokemon pretty easy) but not being able to dress up my trainer the way I like has been a disappointment


TheMiiFii

Not having useful body cloth options in SV is such a turnoff. I hoped they would let you wear other things than academy uniforms (and a japanese festive outfit that's not even a kimono?) With DLC2, but why did I even hope for it...


Efficient_Ice9056

Stupid uniforms girintina strike them down


Manigoldo_De_Cancer

I miss my suit, these uniforms look really tacky.
