Seen a female player? They'll be wearing jean shorts. How about a male one? Shorts with athletic leggings, right? And we've all got the exact same backpack - save for a small coloured stripe, anyway.

It's the sort of thing that would take a mammoth amount of development time considering the Pokémon GO player-base is almost literally the entire world, but over time - especially if they introduce player battles - we're going to want a variety of clothing options to appropriately distinguish ourselves.

Hopefully, in the pursuit of variation, Niantic won't fall back on implementing microtransactions, as you have to believe if a company like Ubisoft or EA had this idea, it'd be "Pay 99p and get a cap!" before you can say "money-grabbing".
