In Scarlet & Violet, the character customization is an utter disappointment. First, I saw their initial outfit, and I was like "there better be character customization". Turns out, it's called "Summer uniform" (Summer being my favorite season) and you're given seasonal school uniforms that you have no other choice but to wear from whatsoever. Who do we play as, boarding school students?
Adults play Pokemon too! I'm 23, and have played it since I was a kid, but if Pokemon is going to go downhill, I hate not to, but I'm not making any promises.
