The latest update to Pokémon GO, introduced by Niantic, has caused a massive uproar among players due to the changes made to the avatar creator feature. Players are expressing their disappointment and frustration with the new changes, particularly with the awkward and limited options for customization. Many feel that the update has not only taken away important gender choices but has also replaced them with unappealing and androgynous body-type options, leading to a significant lack of variety.
The update, which was hyped up by Niantic as a major change to the game, ended up being mostly aesthetic upgrades and downgrades, leaving players feeling underwhelmed and dissatisfied. The removal of gender options and the introduction of limited body types and hair options has left many players feeling alienated and disappointed. The reactions from the community have been overwhelmingly negative, with players expressing their frustration and dissatisfaction with the changes made by Niantic. Despite the backlash, some players have found creative ways to work around the limitations of the new avatar creator feature, such as choosing costumes that obscure their avatars’ faces.
