Customization

I would like to add a customization section under the topic of gameplay. The article does not currently including anything about customization and, with the recent updates to the game, customization has become a larger conversation point for players. I am new to editing Wikipedia and would appreciate any feedback. The following it what I propose to add: — Preceding unsigned comment added by YlvaInspired (talk • contribs) 02:39, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Players can customize their avatar's appearance with clothing options that differ in availability according to season, player level, and game sponsors. Clothing includes: hats, accessories, tops, bottoms, socks, footwear and bags. Most clothing aligns with either the look of a specific Pokémon or a specific team and/or Pokémon region. Many pieces of clothing are free, but pieces can also be purchased using coins, earned during select events, awarded as the player levels up, or received as a prize for special research completion.

Another way for a player to customize their avatar is with a pose. Poses, like clothing, are free, purchased, or awarded. Certain poses are event based and can only be earned during the event they are attached to. Once the event is over, there is no guarantee that the pose will be available in-game again.

In April 2024, Pokémon GO was updated to allow greater customization of player avatars. Customization now includes a limited number of different hair styles, the ability to adjust the weight of the avatar, and expanded options for skin color. Further updates to come in April 2024 include updates to GO Snapshot which will allow up to three Pokémon to be photographed at one time. YlvaInspired (talk) 02:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that it does not mention Dynamax/Gigantimax

although this is a recent feature, as far as I know, it's not mentioned. Please add this section (unless people are waiting for it to become more developed. I understand that) Pokémon&BandGeek (talk) 23:04, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
