Speaking of critical captures, I just got my first critical capture on a shiny Kirlia today. I was especially happy because the Kirlias sometimes use Teleport, and I definitely didn't want it escaping.
Had a 2nd successful critical capture today. Not sure why you guys were talking about having problems with them O_o
You mean me, keep at them, you'll see.
They have high chance of success, like better-then-ultra high, but not master level.
Anyways, furthering the convo on personalization, I am almost finished with my Trainer Customization for my male trainer.
I just need one item and can get it tomorrow if my luck holds out. I've even got the right hair, once i get this item he'll be perfect.
Then I can have him Ham it up in the PR vids.
I refuse to even try to get Xerneas or E4 taken care of until I perfect him(Due to cinematics in those events displaying your customized Trainer's awesomeness in better graphics). And I'm to Anistar which is where my final item is to be bought, tomorrow.
To be honest, I'm almost tempted to use the female trainer instead just because of better customization. I felt like the male trainer was kind of...boring in terms of options, really. In my opinion, the personalization of both trainers is rather weak, though.
Yeah, females get full body dresses and tons more hat accessories, they also get a few more sock-slot options, they also get an option to edit their bangs, I was displeased males do not.
Guys have the dress-slot greyed out and only get a fraction of the hat accessories and have like maybe 4 kinds of socks.
The customization is rather lacking, compared to something like Skyrim or Mass Effect, but given that it's a handheld game, on a system with a policy based more around gameplay, and this is the first time it's been available and the first time everything has been 3D except random trainer sprites in route battles...Yeah I can say that it's limited but: with all they added in, I'm surprised we got as much as we did, for both males and females.
I'm okay with limited as long as I can pull off my own look, and that's what happened here, so they get a good rating from me, but no cigar.
Thank Armok I found this thread, I've been looking for an outlet for Pokemon-related ranting/discussion that I haven't already had with my circle of Pokemon-playing friends.
so anyway
This is one of several spots DF beats Pokemon, for sure.
I really wish that you could wear the mustache makeup from the PR Studio outside of the place.
What really bugs the heck out of me with the customization is that girls get like a million more hat styles, whereas guys get, hm, let's see... logo cap, outdoors cap, fedora, and the panda hat. And one of the logo caps is a ridiculous blend of green, purple, and orange.
There's the little beanie I'm wearing... comes in knit cap and camo cap variants, 4 knit cap types, 2 camo total of six in all, then the rest as you mentioned. All in all, guys get around 16-17 hats, girls, over 20.
To be fair though, the Girl's hats are less various in design, just more colors, four different shapes for girls(one has two name variants, one of such names comes in a wide range of colors), five different shapes for guys (hats anyways). (Note the logo cap and outdoors cap are similar in shape but the logo cap features a pointed top, the outdoors a flat top.)
I think the reason for girls getting more is the vast majority of Pokemon players are male, so that entices females to join.
Not to mention that realistically, women are into fashion much more than guys tend to be IRL and also women wear more articles of clothing in general, despite having less coverage on some outfits.
What really makes me like the guy customization is the fact I can pull my sig look off with Perfection.
The Female items don't come close...and yes I have a sig look for feminine fashion too.
And yeah i agree on the facial hair, heck Nintendo, everything in that room, let us has it game-wide!
