Thanks.
Yeah.. Personally I feel the entire customization features to be a big waste. Custom battles seem unfair if you don't have as expansive a collection of badges and what not as the person you're playing against, and that goes for any character's customization.
At best, customization diminishes the beauty of battling with predefined characters that can be anticipated and fought accordingly with skill.. At worst, customization has been an enormous time sink of a feature that resulted in a bunch of useless content that could have been something else instead.
Personally, I think they should have combined custom move development with alt costumes to create a larger diversity of characters with slightly different abilities.
Dr. Mario and Dark Part don't need to be consuming space on the character select screen. They're basically Mario/Pit with a custom move or two.. Now imagine all the available custom moves and how they could be applied to each character.. It'd really open things up and keep them predefined while giving fans of specific characters a lot of options to work with.
Olimar has Alph, right.. well why not Give Alph Rock Pikmin instead of purple or white. Throw Brittany and Charlie in there and give them slightly different moves too. I'm telling you, the recipe for this stuff is already in the game with custom movesets.. They just need to draw up some quick new character skins and assign the more appropriate moves to each alt.
