I am unsure if this has been asked previously, but do you see main character customization coming in the future? I really think it would add a more personal touch to the games…

Hrm.

Well, they do already allow a degree of customisation by allowing you to choose your avatar for multiplayer functions from a list of trainer types, but further than that…?  I don’t think it’s likely.  Game Freak seem to take the whole ‘silent protagonist’ thing very seriously; I think they regard it as a point of philosophy that players be encouraged to imagine as much as possible about their own characters, rather than actually see it on the screen.  Besides that, the focus is always on the Pokémon anyway.  Not that it’s impossible, or that it would be a bad idea necessarily, but I don’t think they’re likely to do it.
