Realistic Items

You cannot tell what item a Pokémon is carrying by appearence, it must be frisked or knocked off.
Items in the team menu appear as little orange pouches next to your party member.

Ergo, Pokémon hold their items in opaque bags, pouches and satchels and use them naturally, or accordingly when the time is right.

>You cannot tell what item a Pokémon is carrying by appearence

yeah, I know that you mean in game, but tecnically this not can be so hard for the programmers

>>33284133
That makes sense, though for an artistic viewpoint it seems better if each pokemon is 'wearing' their item like the mega stones in the XY anime - they had a unique harness/accessory.

Unless you add in a utility belt for each pokemon, it would look a little strange

That picture is exactly the kind of idea I mean.
Purely as a fan-art kinda thing, this is what I want to do.
Some items just need a more realistic design or someway of being possible AKA holding a flame orb or soft sand etc.

- Greninja holding a Focus SashBonus Point if the Focus Sash is tied on Greninja's tongue
- Koko Loko holding a Life OrbBonus Point if it isn't holding it with its arms

Cute idea OP, something like this?

>>33283915
I like to think for mons with no hands item is tied around them in some way like a necklace or headband. Don't ask me how something like a wild ditto can hold quick/metal powders though, no human to tie it on them.

>>33284228
Ditto just absorbs it

>>33284210
Maybe not quite happy-rapey-fun-time but yeah, more or less like that.

>>33284240
No, it just transforms into a Ditto not holding an item.

Second reply -> >>33284133
He says according to game logic they could probably carry items in little pouch/satchel bags.
Ditto powders are already pictured in a little bag so just get ditto to somehow morph around it or something
