Pokémon Outfits in Café Remix

Pokémon Café Remix has many aspects both big and small, and for the latter, even the smallest can become quite significant. One of those is the aspect of Pokémon outfits, which for many Pokémon in the game are not too significant, but for yet many others are in fact quite significant. Therefore, it's helpful to explain about them and their (relative) significance to certain Pokémon.

Technically, all Pokémon have outfits, but only certain Pokémon have specific outfits. When they are hired, they are given a "basic red" outfit; as they level up - most likely through training - they receive "other color" variants of that "basic red" outfit, tagged as specific Pokémon (for example, "Pikachu yellow", "Lucario blue", and "Dragonite orange"). As they are "basic" outfits, they confer no additional benefits other than looking different and indicating how high in level they are.

For those certain other Pokémon, outfits can quite change how they behave. Sure, there are certain Pokémon with outfits that are purely cosmetic (one example is Scorbunny's "soccer print"), but then there are outfits that change their food specialty, how much they score with them, and what abilities they possess (an example is the "egg basket" outfit for Starly). Needless to say, five-star outfits (like Mew's "camping" outfit) that are obtained from the Delivery function do this to an even greater degree with effects that are even more profound for the above.

Related to the above is the "outfit grade", an aspect introduced with the Delivery function update. The "outfit grade" increases when collecting more of the same outfit (or in the case of regular outfit Pokémon, by collecting friend boosts). This also improves their abilities and how much they score with certain outfits, up to the maximum grade of 4. They become something that may need to be pursued in order to make the best out of their existing outfits and what they can do with them.

Outfits in Café Remix are thus a truly important aspect in some ways, even if they don't appear to be at a glance. Even so, they do have common and uncommon characteristics, as evidenced by the "basic" outfit in contrast to unique outfits that can be obtained through other means, as well as the "outfit grade". The latter two become the significant and important parts, though the aspect remains wholly as such.
