At game start, players choose from 7 starting hairstyles (with 3 more unlockable), 28 hair color shades, and 10 skin tones. Appearance changes can be made at any time by interacting with a mirror, wardrobe, or dressing table. Outfits are found as collectible "Human Records" throughout the game world, each referencing a classic Pokemon character or trainer class.

Walking up to a Human Record and pressing A collects it. You are given the option to wear the outfit immediately upon discovery; if you decline, it is saved to your wardrobe for later. Human Records also contain lore text about the humans who once inhabited Pokopia, with titles like "The Legendary Ninja Family" and "Gym Leader Monthly" that connect outfits to the game's backstory.
