Maybe the smily meant you weren't serious about that question, but I will give my answer anyway.
Either
1/It's a transformation like fusion (maybe combining 2 states).
or 2/ The animators did not want a naked furry guy fending evil from the earth.
Pick one :P
"I'd rather die than fuse with you!"
"Um...Vegeta, you're already dead."

Because golden pants are all the rage on that planet. Duh.

Golly gee, I wish I had the ability to grow pants out of nothing!

You fools! Magic has nothing to do with it! It's FUNi! They added digital pants! In the original version Goku spent almost 50% of the time practically naked! THAT WAS TORIYAMA'S TRUE VISION!

It's true. My friend watched the show in Japan.
It's party time, Ginyu style!

XD Bwahaha, Playing Budokai on the silver screen, now that would be an experience worth remembering. Every little pixelly detail would be yours to behold! Not to mention the biiiig THX worthy speakers making the explosions sound really loud.

It was a joke!! :P
But yeah. Budokai on the big screen? SWEET.
A while back I was thinking about this 'cause I was in a PS2 tournament and it was a big screen we used (I got to see all the wrestlers from WWE in all their sweaty detail. YAY :lol: ) At the time a few friends and I were thinking a budokai game would have made it much more interesting. There is a tournament in it anyway. What more could a person ask for?

EDIT: I just realised what I did. A lapse in concentration led to me making a completely out of context joke since I thought this was a different thread. Sorry :oops:

They do lose their pants on rare occasion but thasts at the end of the battle for a comedic laugh. Remember Dragon Ball was originally a comedy. Keping in mind Toriyama-Sensei used these sort of things to evoke laughter, that would just completely and totally ruin a fight scene if he were to pull that in the middle of a more seirous fight. Reccome got away with it because the Ginyu force was obviously comedic anyway.

In short, yes, a Wizzard did it, named Akira Toriyama, who knew what he was doing with a manga.

Well, they're all super-powered so they can obviously handle the wonders that are stainless steel trousers. That, or they're very lucky. It would be interesting to see their trousers ripped off to reveal that Vegeta wears pink boxers. :)

Speaking of Vegeta, why would Goku picture him naked?

I thought Vegeta was projecting his thoughts into Goku's mind.
