>now introducing Boutiques and Blacksmiths>shops where you find clothing and armor bits that are used to modify the look, stats, and even abilities of Pokémon>at the end of battles, you'll receive scraps based on what you fought that you use to craft pieces of equipment>by default the outfits ONLY modify looks so people who don't care about competitive aren't affected>for those who do, you can use further scraps to apply modifiers to clothing that can modify stats in similar but different ways to natures, IVs, and EVs (all three of which are outright replaced by this system)>they can even change/add abilities, wth limits, of course>clothing/armor would only have so many modifier slots and more powerful/useful modifiers would take up more of the slots for balance>as part of this abilities would be separated into Abilities and Adaptations - abilities like Levitate which are inherent properties of a species would become Adaptations and in most cases wouldn't be able to be applied as part of thisPokémon are constantly shown across all of the media in all kinds of outfits and armor so making it an RPG proper makes perfect sense.
