Pokemon Fashion: Hoenn Leader / Trainer Style Evolution Analysis 

I love that there's someone who looks into character designs like this. It's such an important part of the games and is often overlooked. Your videos are just awesome!

I love Steven so much. Just so cool while also radiating that fancy rich guy energy, but also strength. Like he knows fine dining and multiple languages, but could also kick your ass in two seconds.

A thing I notice and appreciate about the ORAS redesigns is the increased attention paid to global location and profession (following Gen 5 and 6 where they start heavily conveying where those games are set in character outfits). The region of Japan Hoenn is based on is almost tropical, so the redesigns really lighten the clothing or switch to that athleisure compression material. But also Flannery having a hot spring towel as a belt, and Norman wearing geta sandals to match his dojo. Space is a sub-theme for the psychic type (we'll see it again with Olympia in Gen 6) so Tate & Liza get more of it in their redesign. The pokeball planet applique on the trousers is very cute IMO!

The ORAS remakes design for Steven really killed it. The steel cuffs and those silver buttons are what I consider the perfect level of "clear typing, but still has his own style". A perfect middle ground between Jasmine from Gold/Silver where it's honestly tough to tell she's a Steel type user and a certain Kalos trainer which just screams "STEEL" to an excessive degree. And that black/red/purple suit combo? I want that suit right goddamn now.

I know its to be expected but man you never miss an outfit, half of the reason i watch your vids is just to see what you’ll be rocking 🎉 (Also Lucy’s Outfit is based on Seviper same as the building she hosts and its amazing how well they accomplished her look)

Platinum level RU-vid content once again 💜💜💜

Steven is such a favourite look of mine in and out of Pokemon . Another awesome breakdown.

Excited for the Yu-Gi-Oh video! Thinking about it, you might want to check out Card Captor Sakura. Both the Cards themselves and the outfits Sakura wears have a lot to work with!

I feel like nobody notices that Wattson wears a yellow jumpsuit in both the original RSE and ORAS designs, in the original design he's wearing a brown sweater over it and in ORAS he's wearing an open tropical shirt over it (which makes more sense given Hoenn's warmer climate tbh)

7:35 not too camp not too over the top but just the right amount of punk rock and I love that for him. I lowkey wanna cosplay this. also that's my favorite pose form pokemon now

came across your videos as a fighting game fan/player, love your perspective! would love to see your takes on other game franchises, specifically like any JRPG's you would have a cursory interest in. you have a fan in me!

I've been binge watching your vids since like 3 days ago after watching your pokemon villains one, I'm obsessed with them, so much fun. I love your energy and the commentary you provide, I'm really passionate about character design, and the fashion is so important for that, but it's not something I see get much focus, so your content feels super refreshing, this series is great! I know you're probably getting a lot of different recommendations, but if I may, I think an anime worth checking out is Cardcaptor Sakura, it's a magical girl, but she gets different outfits in almost every episode, there's so much good stuff in there and I would love to hear what you've got to say!!

Wallace’s shawl reminds me of Milotic

Love your content! Keep it coming! ❤️‍🔥

Yugioh you say!? Excited!!!

Just found your channel and i love character design and outfits/fashion, and i love them in pokemon! Excited to see other topics you've covered in your vids. Looking forward to the yugioh one too! Keep it up 💖

I've been eating these up since you've been uploading. Your personality shines through more and more every video!

Lucy did not have to go THIS HARD but holy sheez she served, ate and left no crumbs

Phoebe always screamed Grass Type to me.

The segment about Lucy is soooo on point 😩💜 saved the best for last I guess. I really love your content!

Norman really giving that Dad coach vibe. I love it! I think my favorite design in Hoenn is Winona. I don’t know why. It might be hair.

YEEEEAH OH MY GOD I LOVE YOUR CONTENT

ur videos give me life

Fun fact about Anabel, in the anime, Ash and Co literally did not even clock Anabel as the Brain nor even as a Girl, and it was actually a plot point of the episode she debuted in. So she 100% basks and lives in the idea of being androgynous. And that's even (unintentionally?) Used in her redesign for USUM as she wears a suit which I know a lot of my AFAB non-binary friends did for formal events

Babyyy, the QUEENS didn't come to play this gen!

So, the thing about the Gym Leaders, is that beginning with this generation, they starting adding side-jobs to the Leaders (i suppose being one doesn't pay the bills lmao). Roxanne not being so obviously a Rock Type Trainer and her outfit being more on the formal/simple side is because she's a Teacher. Brawly is a surfer, Wattson is a Electricist, Flannery has the hot springs, Norman has a dojo, Winona is an aviator, i'm not sure what Tate and Liza are suppose to be, and Wallace/Juan are Contest Coordinators. Also, i think the changes to more light clothes in the remake is because Hoenn is suppose to be a Tropical Region, so it does makes sense they changed the outfits from the original that were more... heavy. I've been watching your videos and I really love your content, as i'm really into Character Design.

Almost want to see the pants come back with Glacia as well. Maybe bringing the derss up a bit and having some white pants beneath could give it some layering and focus on the white ice type more.

I'd be really interested to see you rate Magic the Gathering characters' outfits, mainly the planeswalkers but also definetly Marchesa.

Great analysis as always! Have you thought about looking into Kill la Kill? Clothing is quite literally the power system in KlK.

It's crazy I watched your video earlier on the villain teams, with you talking about how the galactic admins outfits were a little too much on the plain/samey side, and literally hours ago we get huge pokemon leaks including those characters original beta designs, and we were kinda robbed. Although the bar was on the floor.

always love these videos just to see someone who's more into fashion's thoughts on them. Keep it up :P alas im a boring cargo shorts dress shirt/hoodie IT guy aha. Pockets help for work though

I had hoped you would do Hoenn next!

I’m sure someone’s already said it but that’s not actually a headband that Brendan’s wearing, it’s a beanie. He has brown hair like May, and it is really hard to see in his original design, but later on they make his hair more visible so you can tell (even if it does look like he has white hair; idk why they made it so spiky lmao)

I'm not sure if you talked about this already but how about a video ranking Ash's outfits from worst to best?

OMG i've been watching you since the video of the JOJO's female characters and only now I realized I was not subscribed! Fixed it :D

Im surprised you skipped over Anabel's resigned for from Sun and Moon

I can't put it into words exactly but I loved the laugh when you got to Tucker
