>Trainer customization returns, but clothing items can only be bought via microtransactions.
>In a first for the series, item crafting is introduced. Useful items can be created from raw materials, and there's an online real cash auction house for players to sell each other materials and finished items (each game cartridge only comes with the ability to mine a few materials out of hundreds, so you have to use the auction house to get what you want).
