Pokémon Go, new avatar outfits and hat for Pikachu
The account of the popular Pokémon GO game has just announced two sets of clothing that players can purchase for their avatars. They are inspired by FireRed and LeafGreen, the characters from Pokémon.
The male outfit is the one based on Red's, the great protagonist of the Pokémon games. The feminine one, on the other hand, is inspired by Leaf, which is the female character that appeared in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
The truth is that if you are a fan of Pokémon, the new outfits will sound familiar to you. Red has already appeared in very recent games, such as Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Leaf may be less familiar to you, because it only appeared, within the main series, in Pokémon FireRead and LeafGreen. And that at first it was thought to go together with Red.
You must take into account, on the other hand, that the costumes of these avatars can only be used adapted to the gender that corresponds to them Thus , the male outfit will be for male avatars. And the feminine one, for the female avatars. There are no more options. Although this is nothing new. This assignment has been made in all the outfits that have been presented to date.
What are you interested in doing with them? Well, in principle you can access them from today. Although, logically, you will have to pay the amount of what they cost.The two outfits will cost a total of 1,000 PokeCoins, in their entirety. Some of the costume pieces are quite expensive, such as the T-shirts or the bags, which cost up to 250 PokeCoins per unit.
