The upcoming game for Nintendo Switch, set in Lumiose, aims to enhance character customization significantly compared to previous titles.
- Character customization options have been limited in past games.
- The entirety of the game takes place in Lumiose.
- Your character is a tourist in a flashy default ensemble.
- You can equip any piece of clothing regardless of gender.
- The game emphasizes fashion as personal expression.
- NPCs were portrayed by living actors in recent ads.
In past games, character customization options were limited, often making trainers appear more like NPCs. The latest title allows players to create distinct looks with customizable outfits, including shoes, socks, and accessories.
The game takes place entirely in Lumiose, a city in the Kalos region, which resembles Paris. Players can customize their characters with various clothing options and can equip any piece of clothing regardless of the gender option selected at the start.
Players can earn in-game currency by competing in the Z-A Royale competition, which can be spent on items or clothing in Lumiose’s boutiques. The game also features multiple skin tones and hairstyles, with customization available at salons.
Recent advertisements for the game feature NPCs portrayed by living actors, dressed to resemble their in-game counterparts. This focus on character customization aims to provide players with a unique sense of style.
