How Does Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Trainer Customization Work?

More recent Pokemon games allow players a degree of freedom when picking clothing options for their trainer’s outfits or customization options for hair and face choices, and Scarlet and Violet are no different. However, there are some changes to the formula. One of them is that you can change your look at any time, without needing to go to a dressing room. Another means an opportunity to customize different parts of your face. However, people might also notice that some clothing options are a bit lacking this time around too.
