History MagicPants / VideoGames

* Link from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''. When he's a kid he has no tights. When he wakes up in the Temple of Time... tights. Magically. (Of course, he also has his ears pierced now and his hair isn't any longer than it was seven years ago, so maybe someone in the Sacred Realm gave him a makeover before sending him back)
** While we're on the topic of ''Zelda'', two words: ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask's'' Giant's Mask. Well, okay, it may be the ''mask'' that's magical and causes his clothes to grow in tandem, but it's still kind of humorous when you think about it. Also applies to the other masks.

* ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'': Lampshaded with [[BoisetrousBruiser Karlach]], whose Infernal Engine literally lights her on fire whenever she feels strong emotion. Her underwear's description incredulously wonders how they haven't burned off.

* In ''VideoGame/AlteredBeast'', the player characters can collect a series of orbs that causes them to become more muscular and less clothed with each application, until finally taking on the form of a fully nude (yet [[BarbieDollAnatomy anatomically void]]) monster. It's a different monster on each level, with the player characters reverting back to their original (clothed) form at the beginning of each level. Then again, you start off wearing not much more than a tunic and a loincloth anyway.
** Slightly subverted in ''Project Altered Beast''. Upon first transforming into the werewolf, all your clothes tear off; when you change back, your shirt and jacket are gone for good, yet your jeans and boots somehow return.

** G-Creature aka the mutated William Birkin from ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 RE2]]'' in first transformation despite his enlarged size, still has his lab coat and pants on (similar to the Lizard from ''Franchise/SpiderMan''). In his second mutation he loses the coat but keeps his pants which have become ragged shorts. Averted in Birkin’s later forms as he loses his clothes completely albeit he lacks any visible genitalia.

* Certain characters in the ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' series:

* ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' has the Inklings, who can morph between humanoid-form and squid-form freely with just the push of a button on the player's end. Only the humanoid form wears clothes and holds a gun; and what's more vexing is that when an Inkling gets [[NonLethalKO splatted]] they [[RightOutOfMyClothes leave behind their clothes and weapon]], but respawn with a fresh set back at their base.

** Averted with Trish and Lady in ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 DMC5]]'' after they are defeated by Urizen and are absorbed into Cavaliere Angelo and Artemis. By the time Dante and Nero free them Trish and Lady’s clothes have dissolved and they are [[{{Fanservice}} completely naked]]. Dante on the other hand despite getting similarly absorbed by Qliphoth, by the time V finds him on cusp on death, still has all his clothes on.

* Morrigan from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' has a bra on when her shirt is off, and [[AbsoluteCleavage only when her shirt is off]].

* In ''VideoGame/TheQuarry'', lycanthropy is shown to cause the werewolf to violently burst out of their clothes (along with their human skin), and they are naked as long as they remain in that form. When they return to human form, however, they find themselves wearing enough scraps of clothing to avoid being completely nude.

** Dante, Vergil [[spoiler: and later Nero]] keep their clothing while transforming into their demonic Devil Trigger forms and reverting back. With Dante and Vergil in ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3 DMC3]]'' their [[BadassLongCoat long coats]] become an organic part of their bodies and Vergil’s sheath becomes a part of his left arm.

* In the climactic battle with Titan Joker in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'', the Titan formula has made the Joker a huge, hulking man-thing that stands easily ten feet tall. Needless to say, his purple suit is completely destroyed by the transformation - except for a pair of ragged purple shorts.

* Alex Mercer from ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' shapeshifts constantly and never has to replace his clothes - even taking the forms of his [[FaceStealer victims]] dresses him in their outfits, whether they were suits, pants, skirts or body armour complete with gas mask. This is because his entire body, including his clothes, is made from superdynamic biomass that can imitate anything. On the downside, that means conventional armour does nothing except complete the disguise and his 'gas mask' will not, in fact, protect him from gas.

** Derek Simmons in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' somehow manages to change form twice, and radically - first into some four-legged predator, then into a gigantic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' made of organs. But each time he turns back to human, his pants and boots have survived the transformation.
*** '''Then''' he turns into a building-sized insectoid and back, but you guess it - his pants and boots are still immune even to that.

* In ''VideoGame/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings'' and ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'', it's shown that sorceresses have the power to dress and undress in the blink of an eye, generally done before/after Geralt has sex with them.

* Averted in ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' as Devil Kazuya’s full transformation unlike with his son Jin’s Devil form, makes him lose his pants. Then again Devil Kazuya seems to lack any exterior plumbing. In the [[VideoGameTekken7 seventh instalment]], Kazuya after reverting to his normal form in his fight with Heihachi regrows his pants.

** Derek Simmons in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' somehow manages to change form twice, and radically - first into some four-legged predator, then into a gigantic TyrannosaurusRex made of organs. But each time he turns back to human, his pants and boots have survived the transformation.
