Here’s how it works. (Image credit: The Pokemon Company) The Pokemon Company has shown off more of Pokemon Legends Z-A's customization features in a new stream, and dare I say, it's left a bigger impression on me than both Pikachu's best attempt at a DJ set and the long-awaited confirmation of a Mega Dragonite leak. First, some background. I'm a real dress-up sicko – the true endgame is the fashion game, and all of that – and, while Pokemon did take the logical step by adding trainer customization years back, it's been a tad Onix-acceptable of late. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet let you change your hairstyle, but aside from that, you're largely stuck with various sets of school uniforms – though you can change the odd bit, like your shoes and socks. You may like Pokemon Legends Z-A's Mega Dragonite leak finally confirmed, and it's either "so good" or the "worst design for a Mega Evolution Pokemon ever" depending on who you ask Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's free Switch 2 update promises to steal hundreds more hours from me as shiny hunting looks easier than ever with more wild encounters 12 years later, Pokemon Legends Z-A brings back a "forgotten, uninteresting character" from Pokemon X and Y and puts her in charge of one of the coolest new features Make the Most of Your Adventure in Pokémon Legends: Z-A! - YouTube All of that is a downgrade from what's come before, so it's neato to see Pokemon Legends: Z-A bring some fashion back. As you can see in the video above, you can change your hairstyle and your outfit alongside the color of it all. And that's not all! Why should your trainer enjoy all the fun? If you team up with a Furfrou, you can pay someone to get their Scyther to give them a trim to match your vibe. I can't say I'm not concerned about handing over a beloved pooch to a Pokemon with big ol' scythes for hands, but the results are undeniable. Just don't think about it too hard. Elsewhere in today's Pokemon Presents stream, we found out that a Pokemon Legends Z-A Switch 2 bundle is coming October 16, and that a "forgotten, uninteresting character" from Pokemon X and Y has got a major glow-up in Pokemon Legends Z-A. Truly a range of revelations. A new Pokemon puzzle game got shadow launched during today's Presents stream, and it reminds me of all the iPhone games I used to play as a teenager.
