sailorkittySo, the new region is based on England. I'm super excited, and not just because of the large pile of books and tea behind me. (I'm not even going to start on the acronym, because it sounds even worse than HG/SS)
Things I'm looking forward to:
-Punk clothing
By which I mean shirts! Pants! And the awesome orange jacket with spikes on. (Seeing Marnie, I think this region might have some punk influences.)
-The Magical Ice Castle.
Look at it. It's so pretty! Is this where Marnie lives? It would be ridiculously fitting, give the name 'Marnie'. (For context, the original story 'When Marnie Was There' was set in Britain and used that for maximum atmosphere.) I know it'll likely be the evil hangout, but I still hope it'll be cozy inside.
-PokéManchester
The industrial town in the middle of the map! I hope the clothing inside will be either Victorian, or working-class-Victorian-ish. Hipster-y?
Things I hope they'll implement:
-Hairstyles
I'm kind of OK with the girl's hairstyle- It's not terrible, my character could pass as a victorian dandy or rocker if needed. But I much prefer being able to give her a short haircut. X/Y did it best, S/M was kind of meh on this front.
-Variety in clothing
I loved this in X/Y, and really bounced hard off of it in S/M. Possibly due to the lack of androgynous shorts, and the fact that the clothing style was sporty - So not a fan of that style. The hawaii-shirt nearly saved it - Though I was sad to find that it didn't tuck neatly into the waistband of the plus-fours. (Which looked great with high socks!) I really hope I won't have the same problem in VIIII, though I fear I just might.
