#ALSO explains how the Shaymin Guild members weren't just outright paralyzed like Lance was when they got hit with the “white attack” now ;D

Guild Attire

Head Researcher notes and comments

Simple bandannas and scarves had sufficed for decades, however, with the push for the Xerneas Guild to have one set base of operations in the newly built Harmony Town, it has come to our attention to consider Guild-specific uniforms of sorts. This decision was formed on the request of the Xerneas Guild, who had a heavy focus on endurance, since outlaw groups were far bigger than they had ever been in the past. As such cloak was designed, with the inclusion of materials for defense and special defense scarves being woven in. As such all Xerneas Guild uniforms greatly raise their defenses against physical and special attacks. Unfortunately this does not save them from being damaged or destroyed by harsh attacks, so tailors have been commissioned to design and repair them... quite often unfortunately. (Consider having the Guilds themselves pay for repairs... resources or money... either or... sheesh...) The other guilds followed thereafter, though their needs varied and as such further study was required. With the advent of "Pins" replacing badges and being produced for everyone to hold onto, we've decided to use the leftover metals as a form of recycling them into the uniforms that'd make up the Shaymin Guild's equipment. Their aggressive investigation of the dungeons pushed for us to find ways to improve their protective auras, since the Pins were designed for both convenience and for a single Pokemon to hold without the adverse effects of the larger chunk of metals we provided in the past. We decided to provide the tailor with notes that state a Shaymin Guild uniform should have shards of the same metals used for Pins and various anti-toxin/venom materials to raise their resistances to poisons and other unknowns that may have evolved since our time in the skies. Their new Guildmaster is pushing for "Lands Below" investigations as well... we have to be prepared for unique evolutions down there-if things are anything like they are up here... The Landorus Guild has become a farmer's guild... not sure what pushed them to focus on that, but it is a great help, taking the task of understanding how plants and such are impacted by the higher altitudes off our hands... either way, they requested materials woven into their cloaks, scarves, etc, have boosting effects on Ground and Grass types. Simple enough, though their reasoning was more about training Grass types to have some kind of impact on those strange bean-like seeds discovered in the Tree of Life... Either way, a boon for them. As for us Researchers, the newly formed Council has begun to agree with the Shaymin Guild about investigating down below, and finding ways to get back to the surface safely. A huge project is underway, so I've considered having some of us venture down there with them for the sake of collecting data, I'm certain there are things those "rough and tough" Pokemon'll damage... as such I've put a request for equipment for us Researchers to have the benefits of the Xerneas and Shaymin Guild's uniforms (and also all of the Guild's logos, for the sake of showing our support for each of them). As for colors... hrm... it was awkward coming up with the Landorus Guild's and our own's, but I'll leave the final decisions up to the Guildmaster. As for us Researchers... I think grey will work just fine... Now to figure out how to incorporate old badge mechanisms into these tiny Pin devices...
