This leads me to further believe characters will be customizable.

Err, all main characters for each game wore different hats except from Hilda and Hilbert which both wear ordinary caps, and Nate and Rosa wearing visors.
Differing hats = customization?

I believe customization here refers to being able to change the appearance of your character in-game by using different clothing and accessories, like what many other RPGs offer to add to the immersion. Currently, everyone plays the same Red who looks no different from other Reds.

Wouldn't it be cool if our mum was secretly the leader of the evil team? I think something like that would be an interesting twist.
It could also be interesting if we lived with the professor this time and even more interesting if both scenarios were mixed where the professor is your mum at first but she's secretly the leader of the evil team and is using the professor status as a cover up, giving you a starter in the hope that you will become strong enough to take over the evil team one day.

I personally hope the Gym Leaders of this region are more involved in the plot of the games this time, similar to Black and White when OMG THEY ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING ABOUT THE EVIL TEAM. xD
Unfortunately this was kinda scrapped in Black and White 2 other than Cheren and Drayden (and Marlon briefly). But I'd love it if in X and Y the Gym Leaders (and maybe the E4 too) were thoroughly involved in the plot. This could be one or more leaders investigating the evil team or following them, or one appearing when the evil team ambush you or something to battle alongside you... something more than just being there to give out badges and otherwise pretty much ignore the evil team. Black and White was great with the Gym Leaders vs Six Sages, I really hope we get more moments like that.

Well, I don't think it could be a sign, but haven't you noticed that, in the preview, the characters were totally different ? Look at all the others, they look like brothers and sisters, with few exceptions.

Red and Leaf > Same colors (red top and skirt, blue pants and top), pale brown hairs, same signs on their hat, same yellowed bag, same eyes.
Gold and Kris > Same red and white tops, same yellow and dark lined shorts, same part-of-yellow hat.
Ethan and Lyra > Same red top, same black lines under and on top of their knees, same shoes's colors, same Pokégear. (most diffrent to date)
Brendan and May > Same red and black tops, same shoes's colors, same signs on their "hat", same yellow for their bags, they both have gloves, similar hair color.
Brendan and May (Emerald suit) > Exactly same colors everywhere (green, orange and dark), for the tops and the shorts, same signs on their hat, pratically same shoes, same green color for their bags, similar hair color. (most similar to date)
Lucas and Dawn > Same hair color (dark-blue), same top's color (dark and white), same sign on their hat, same yellow color for their bags, similars eyes, same red scarfs, same Pokétch.
Lucas and Dawn (Platinum suit) > Same winter scarfs, same hair color (dark-blue), same red top, same white color for their bags, same sign on their hat, only characters who are in witner suit (both similar), boy and girl counterpart accessories's colors (blue and pink).
Hilbert and Hilda > Same caps (with the sign), blue top for Hilbert, blue shorts for Hilda, sort of dark clothes for them two, same hair colors, same sort of bag, same C-Gear.
Nate and Rosa > Same sort of eyes, same hair color, same sort of bags, they both have sport pantyhose, same sort of white/grey on shorts and tops, similar wearing visors.
X and Y Boy and Girl > The boy has a cap, the girl has a hat (like Leaf), he's totally in blue, she's in red and in black (that's what we saw), the boy has brown hair, the girl has blond hair. The only thing in common is that they both have glasses on their hat.

I'm not putting to much into thinking that there will be customization. We really have no concrete evidence for it being in the game. And don't bring up the glitching glasses. That might be all it is, a glitch.

I think the boy who look at himself in the mirror isn't a coincidence. I think it's a wasting of time, showing the boy or the girl in a mirror since you're supposed to already know what the character looks like, if there is no customization, of course. If there is a customization, I think it will be only about the color change of eveyr clothes, and if you want to put glasses or not.

I would like to see:
Gym leaders ARE the villainous team
Elite Four are the the Four Commanders.
And the Champion is the leader!

then after you bust them there will either be no more pokemon league or new leaders pop up out of nowhere in one day
Maybe the Gym Leaders have children, or like Ruby/Sapphire, different bad guys for different game.
Then the other team that battled the other team became the new Gym Leaders!

About character customization...look at 00:57. Doesn't that girl look an awful lot like Rosa? And, considering that the male character looks suspiciously like Hilbert, I guess this could hint to two different things at once.

Since it's almost certain the girl in red is a playable character, this could possibly mean that you could customize your characters...and if this is true, it would also mean that there would be a multiplayer of some sort, where two people appear in the same game at once, similar to the entra link.

She also has a running animation, and isn't directly next to the character, meaning that she probably isn't an NPC.

I possibly lurv you for this idea. Multiplayer (proper) would be much appreciated, especially expanding on the Entralink...

But the girl running in the forest is also following the male perfectly. She's only a little to the side and behind him. I think it's just one of those escort things.
