I just hate the toddler heads. There isn't one that doesn't look like a toddler.
Seriously! Why can't we customize our faces like Mii characters?
Exactly - no matter who pushed for this update at Niantic, the fact is that the models are just objectively awful. Like...tragically embarrassingly bad. Do they even have QA?
@@KirkpatrickSoundsa consulting company called gaymers was literally consulted by them before rolling out this update, looks like they poisoned their minds into hating on male and females
We can be honest about the body shapes too. There are 0 pear-shaped or hour glass shapes. Their hip slider is laughable, and all the hip-to-waist ratios are basically masculine.
its because they were probably drawn by toddlers
I wish we could go "rediscover" our old models back
nope, only for 10000 pokecoins!
Nope, only for $15!
Not rlly this is better as long as it's tweaked a bit, hate was really over the top there's like 1-2 things that are bad
Only for 100000000000 coins
@@TheGuestRoblox bro wered you get a discount 😂😂😂
Even the Team Rocket GO grunts have more life than my player model.
Yes
What makes this even more stupid is they had test roll outs. Reaction then was negative, and they still rolled it out.
gotta push that agenda
Nothing wrong with adding more options, but taking options away was not the answer.
Agreed!
It was not as much as taking or adding they took the one thing that works in the game since 2016 man this people are to destroy the game! Lol
this update consultants by GaymerX, google it. The left is influencing the game
It's to push politics. Every election year things get really wacky.
Game is fantasy, being ugly in real life doesn't mean i wanna be ugly in game too. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
My character is built like a French toast stick
Real
😂😂
💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No ''adult'' face added, all of them look like children. No beard options, horrible hair selections.. And to top it all off, i feel like my avtar got shrunk in height aswel?
🤦🏽♂️ so goofy.
my character prob looks cursed as hell now lanky and he looks like a kid
I wish I could undiscover this update.
As a woman, a lot of women and girls, after this update, feel like we don't exist.
There's no hips, no waist... it's like we don't exist. I liked dressing my character up cutely and now, I can't even see myself, a woman, being within the pokemon universe - yes some may say that's taken too far, but it really comes off that way, because representation has been thrown away.
I think some are genuily hurt over this and the overall poor execution from Niantic.
You can't be speaking there's like 3 sliders specifically for you, and there's one male face, I don't see how men have it better for customization
@@Niteowl11611 Firstly the sliders are horrible, secondly I'm referring to no hips and no waist.
The customasation is horrible for all of us, but the older female character took the harder L compared to the guy model.
@@Niteowl11611women don't have long torsos like men do. The models look more like men than women even if you make the chest bigger
Thank you!!! This is what I have been saying. I'm a woman, and that avatar is a man with boobs pasted on. It has no junk in the trunk, no way to taper the waist, and that is a literal bulge in the crotch. And don't get me started about the awful waddle that is the walking animation.
Hmmm tell me about it! I saw my wife avatar am I just could not deal with it… she lost her behind!
my character looks so weird now
Yeah we all look like we’re 5 or something
Bro ikkk I logged in one day and my character looked AWFUL
The new update took off my black face mask and it’s making me buy a black face mask now
Fr
I wouldn’t be too mad if my face didn’t look like an infant… but it does
Male and female have different body types and features, there needs to be more of a difference 😭
I’m a transgender person, I’m basically the exact target audience Niantic had in mind for this update, and even I can say that IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! You didn’t have to REMOVE gender from the game, that’s just nuts! & No matter how ”inclusive” this update might be, it doesn’t change the fact that these avatars are the ugliest things in the world.
You didn’t satisfy anyone with update, Niantic. Hope you’re happy :/
The target audience is people who are investors or political activists. What actual trans people think is irrelevant, or the customer too. The more in line your product is with Blackrock (the largest company in the world that everybody should already know about) the more your company will be recommended to investors, or even be eligible for cheaper loans or direct investment from Blackrock itself. They use a scoring system, and removing female features increases this score. Even if they lose customers they're going to be earning more money from their target audience, investors, or more specifically the political opinions of the handful of people who run these large firms that decide what is or isn't a good investment for people. Larry Fink doesn't like feminine beauty.
@@alexdietz7362 lmao true
At least you're one of the same ones. Welcome
Also was it removed from the app store? I can't find it
@@alexdietz7362 Genuine question, where did you read all that stuff about Black Rock? I wanna dig into it more
It's all wrong. I'm a woman and I want my avatar to look like a woman. So let them add a neutral version of gender in addition to male and female. The pose after winning the fight is horrible.
100% agree with you! It wouldn’t be that hard to just add a more androgynous gender instead of removing gender altogether.
I just don’t understand how they saw it and thought it was good to add!?
ummm u can make them male or female just customize it
@@Polaroxide you will be surprised but I did it... But in motion (for example after battle) it is still man with boobs. Is it important for this game? No.... But it is not good change.
Agree!! I really dont like my avatar. I'm so sad about it. I'm a woman, I want to look like one. The way my avatar walks on the map is aweful too. I look like a man 😢
literally all they had to do is keep the old gender models along with the slider thing but no they had to remove it. I literally don't understand how they thought this was a good idea, there was literally a post on the pokemon go reddit a trans girl made about how the new model legitimately made them feel dysphoric.
Trans girl here! And I had the same experience as her because of this new feature, this is quite a serious lack of foresight by Niantic.
Trans man here, I have the exact same feeling as the trans girl. They tried to make it neutral so you can customise it but ended up making a model that is both and nothing at the same time, if that makes sense :,)
Im Aro/ASe and this looks like tihs
I adjusted to my cofigorus and fantump mask!
As a nonbinary person, I like the slider options but what throws me off is the torsos. I'm very short and it makes me look so unproportional and tall! I really don't get it. I like that I can at least be a little more androgynous, but the older models at least had most body proportions correct
Removing staple male and female options and forcing everyone to use “non-binary” abominations, couldn’t expect anything less from a company based in California
Look at the community manager
Why does being a male or female mean so much to you? Get a real personality
@@theminecommanders8013 Why does not being a male/female mean so much to you? Get real personality.
@sophietwilight7502 Why does BEING male/female matter so much to you? You can play a character without massive tits. Get a real personality, right?
I don’t understand why they didn’t just rename the gender option to body type option.
I couldn't even find a skin colour that matches my complex. I'm a more tanned dark-skin Asian, and the choices were either too light or too dark; nothing in between.
Felt this SO hard. Not that they really had my skin tone before, but especially now, there is nothing in between for us tan/olive ppl
I mean I’m White and even I can’t find a skin tone that matches mine. You’d say that’s the one that’s most likely to be done properly, right? I either look like a Zombie or like I have a fake tan
At least bring the default avatar body back, the new one just looks so weird
I also would like to add that the "diversified" hairstyles are mainly straight hair, barely any curly haired styles
Especially no long curly hair for people of color
This update was already too late and still they managed to just not include a huge part of people.
Instead making it diverse for bodyweight. As if that is what anyone wanted.
Ha right most overweight people don't even want the over weight option...
Every time they screw something up like this I keep thinking of how good this game could be if the company running it allowed more than one braincell per person
They should have added, not removed the genders. I look like a cross-dressing man with a diaper. The hands are too big, the torsos are too long. The only outfit I look ok in is Arlo's, I want refunds on everything else I paid for.
just customize it it didnt affect mine at all
adding another gender would just make a certain subset of people even more angry lmao.
the best thing about this kind of customisation is that you get way more options and aren't limited by however many genders Niantic decides there is or how they think those genders look, it's just too bad they did a really poor job at implementing this customisation.
@@human69. And those options are? Because all i see is people saying nonmatter what they do to customize it, it keeps turning out looking busted and weird. What did they actually add to the body, because all i see is them taking things away based on the sentiments.
Fixing things that aren't broken is the core ethos of silicon valley these days
You said it!
This update is quite literally one of the worst pieces of design I've ever seen. It's off-putting, it's like everyone fell into the Uncanny Valley. It's total [expletive, redacted] and they need to unwind it, ASAFP.
Niantic has made a ton of questionable to enraging decisions in the last 2 years or so, but this one is arguably one of the worst, because you always have your avatar staring at you while you walk around, or when doing GBL, and there was no reason to roll out something that looked like this.
Everyone's model at least had some character before. Now, we all get soulless, vacant expressions, and out-of-touch body proportions. I am all for inclusivity, I really am. Give people the ability to express who they really are. But it has to look physically pleasant to the people using the product, and it absolutely does not.
Undo it. Undo it, right now.
yeah instead of adding more options for people they pretty much brought everyone down with it, I don't think anyone wants this honestly, unless they're indifferent to it
@vibingLieke Like, I think it's perfectly okay to say "hey here are a bevy of options to expand representation, but we left the fundamental models alone for you to experiment with"
Instead, they pushed out these ridiculously questionable-looking avatars that almost seemed design to eliminate, not celebrate, the vast differences the human race has to offer.
I personally don't care all that much about mine, but, like, I care that it looks incredibly off-putting now.
They need to undo it, ASAP. It's terrible.
It's a big middle finger to every Trainer
@@moonshinershonor202 💯
These characters don’t look Male, Female or Non-Binary, just purely uncanny. If PoGo had included more gender neutral options, I’d be happy for people who want that. But this just ain’t it…
These character models are terrifying!
Have you seen the team rocket victory animation, nightmare fuel.
Yes omg, the clapping and jumps and poses when winning are PURE NIGHTMARE FUEL!!!! It is all hideous. And makes me not enjoy the game anymore. My avatar is no longer nice to look at, and my outfits i bought don't look the same, they look horrible.
and the other npc’s didn’t even change!! they all still look completely fine!
I literally had to buy a mask just so i dont have to see my avatars' hideous face.
Yeah I spent like 100 poke coins on glasses and a mask to hide the atrocity. I could’ve bought a remote raid pass too
It’s really funny to me that among all the customization options, they picked shoulder format instead of height
Finally, a huge content creator addressing this horrendous issue.
it looks fine pepole are crying over nothing
@@gamerbeast3616 You are obviously blind lol.
It's terrible, but i personally dont complain about it because i dont play the game to have a nice character. @gamerbeast3616
@@gamerbeast3616if it looked "fine" then no one would have a problem with it.... I think it's in the definition of fine...
Eveeybody disagrees as you see...@@gamerbeast3616
Even the avatar of the woman in the commercial looks so messed up as an avatar, it looks like she’s wearing a full diaper
Pokemon is an anime. Why change it away from the anime vibe to make it more realistic
I agree with this so hard!! The uncanny valley effect is only made worse with the constant forced contrast between hyper realistic and stylized anime. The Detective Pikachu shirt and Prof. Willow pants are the biggest offenders of this, I feel, aside from the fact that our avatars aren’t stylized to match the Pokemon anymore. Niantic needs to decide what in the world they want with art direction, because visually, this shit is a mess
Ignoring the body, just the way the faces look are wayyy different and there is only one ‘conventionally masculine’ option ☠️
Why does it have to be masculine
@@Infinite_void_wanderer Because masculine people exist, men exist.
@@Infinite_void_wanderer What a stupid question. Why shouldn't it be masculine? You should have the choice to look either as masculine or feminine as you want. The old system with 2 genders was just fine and didn't need to be replaced with whatever this is.
@@Infinite_void_wanderer a big portion of the players are straight males, and alot of them are old persons so we need more sharpnes in the face, more beard, in fact you are seeing that a woman can't have a masculin face, i think you need to read your privileges.
@@Infinite_void_wanderer not everyone wants to look like a woman 💀
What if this was an attempt to promote people to spend more coins on coverup ..
But that's just a theory
a game theory
@@-Fluffy-thanks for watching
It's not. It's GaymerX pandering to trans and giving two shits about everyone else
😂 possible
I bought a mask to hide my male avatar's baby face
GENDER DYSPHORIA: I'm just gonna throw this term out there, as I believe some of us are experiencing some digital version of it with the recent avatar changes.
if a single game update causes your gender dysphoria to return, you had bigger problems and one straw was gonna break the camels back at that point
This just shows how out of touch Niantic is with the actual players of the game. This is the most ridiculously idiotic and pointless update they've made so far. I can't even imagine how much money Niantic wasted on this crap.
Lmao pokemon have male and females but the human trainers can't lmao
Same with the team rocket grunts 😂 it literally makes no sense why they removed gender
Don't give them ideas!
@@laurachristensen3201Pokémon Scarlet & Violet had this neutral gender thing too. The base character models were identical to each other. The only way to choose your character’s sex was guess at random which hairstyle would give the NPCs in the games the proper dialogue when addressing you. The clothing options were horrible & the fact that your character looked like an actual kid but your fellow school mates looked like they were anywhere between 15 - 80 years of age just made me wish we could have gotten an option for what age we wanted our character to be.
As for PKMNGO, look up “Gaymer X” (a DEI consulting firm that is all about being “LGBT+ friendly” that encouraged Niantic to turn GO into this mess.
Unfortunately the feedback given by players doesn’t really matter. I can’t remember a single time Niantic took in feedback and made a change the community wanted. They post the same “we hear you!” message and then carry on as usual.
They’ll take it seriously if they lose money
@@TheFablekid true!
I remember there was backlash when they took the Pokéstop and gym distances away. People complained that without the extra distance it was unplayable for handicapped players and they reverted the distance back within a couple of weeks. That was back after lockdown.
I HATE THE NEW AVATARS SO MUCH
I've never had so many body issues as I did trying to customize my new avatar 😂
Feels like the new ones were designed by my cousin (he's 2)
I rarely comment on videos, but I would very much my waist and ass back...
I'm a female and I play pokemon GO because they are cute, now I can't even relax like I used to before because my avatar is so terribly ugly I feel like bloody Shrek.... REALLY???
Sincerely,
Miss M
Larry Fink is responsible for this. Literally just one man. He is in charge of the largest company in the world, and many asset management firms and investors use his scoring system to decide what is and isn't a good investment. Removing female features improves this score.
Larry Fink doesn't like your old avatar's features, and so you shouldn't be allowed to enjoy them either.
I uninstalled the game on mine and my kid's device. I know it's an election year, but pushing gender politics onto my kid is a bridge too far.
None of my friends play Pokémon GO that often anymore so I screenshotted their unedited characters 😂
My old character looks more like me than my new characters. WHAT THE F HAPPENED TO MY CHARACTER'S WAIST!!! I have a waist , and I like to have my avatars to have a waist. We need more sliders if they want to be more inclusive. Amd the faces. This is dumb.
My avatar with cliff’s costume in old version made me look buff and now with this new update, costumes has ruined my looks since I don’t look buff in it anymore.
ya i bought team rocket suit and it now looks horrible skin tight on the new model
its called customize
and no ass 😂
Original Avatar: Anime character
New Avatars: Average Anime Cosplayer
@@Snow-Willow nah avg cosplayers have ass 🤣 here its just cardboard
Why is there only 1 male face out of the 7 options?
😂 all the another one have eye make up 😳.. whats up with that! Indeed
yeah and then females are angry that they look less female, males literally have no options now
@@SuperScoob25 yeah, theres nothing for men now (more like nothing for anybody) like mystic7 said, this is the update where everyone buys pokecoins to cover themselves up
I think they are all trans faces
Because man hating is trendy nowadays, fuck men 🤷 were fucked from every direction it feels but no one cares
I have never wanted to delete a game from my phone more then now
rediscover yourself? nah more like "rediscover your balls"
either make it like a mii or just don't change it at all.
I don’t think Niantic is trying to be progressive I think they just gave us customization in the laziest way possible. Skin color alone is ridiculous. Like give us a sliding scale of skin tones at least. None of them look like me while my previous avatar did.
100% this. They don’t care about progressive ideals they care about making money. They thought “fixing” the avatars like this would encourage people to spend more money on styling Their avatars and it just happened to completely backfire. Niantic is tone deaf but not because they’re “woke”.
Unfortunately they were trying to be.. one of the leads in Niantic I'm aware of is Queer and the company they hired called GaymerX helped them with this update.
If you check who the community manager for Niantic is, there is some progressive vibes.
This is what I was thinking too. But I also can imagine there was good intent behind it but not enough time to implement it properly. We’ve heard in the past that the people working on projects like this usually dont get to complete them or bring them up to standard before the higher ups force the launch. It feels like what we got was just the start of them doing an avatar overhaul and then being forced to launch it before it was actually done. It sucks because the clothing items DO NOT FIT the models now regardless. A lot of the costumes I paid for I dont like how they look anymore.
@@jennifer.b.lwhere's the source for that? did niantic or gaymerx state anything?
We're all transitioning in Pokemon Go now! Whether we like it or now
This update is a piece of crap, who is with me?!?!?
It’s kinda hard to not wish for the downfall of this game, Niantic just simply doesn’t care anymore and don’t deserve deserve the money or success that go fest will provide for them
they care lmao
@@gamerbeast3616I don’t wanna argue with you Niantic Defenders, they aren’t even putting effort and all they care bout is the go fest 💵 because you people are just greedy
@@gamerbeast3616yeah, about money 😂
They will care when no one purchases any Go Fest tickets. Hopefully they’ll change it back or I won’t spend any more money on the app. I’ll go 100% free to play.
bro the update is so laggy, and my avatar literally looks like a twig.
It feels like they heard about the Stellar Blade drama and decided to go the complete opposite direction of that lmao
Not everyone is androgynous or nonbinary or trans. It is utter madness to force this style upon everyone. If you want to play as a cute girl, tough luck. No longer possible.
Here's one customization that everyone can agree on: more diverse facial expressions
and facial features like lips and noses.
Or here’s another customization idea: bring back the old avatars
all of my favorite avatar items clip into my characters skin now and the new faces are terrifying smh
So my character looked great. - it was me for all those years - now its like i am playing on somebody else's account
I am an older gamer - now my character looks like a 12 year old boy or a women - nothing in-between is possible.
But my daughters account has not updated and i can still see my original character.
Everyone on my friends list now has masks on to cover their faces - every single one
My avatar was missing it's shoes, pants, gloves, backpack and glasses when I logged back on and it was absolutely terrible trying to fix it after they moved and changed stuff, plus the old skin tone I used is just entirely gone for some reason so I have to use one that looks way too pale, overall they really should've done a better job... hopefully the rest of the rediscovery thing turns out much better than the avatars did lol
Wearing my Raquaza helmet now
Got the same but wesring a team skull mask underneath it too
When wearing anything like a helmet eg rayquaza helmet my character turns totally bald
Same
I wish we could “rediscover” my old model
my game is not working properly. when I'm actually moving, on the map I stay in place no matter how far I walk! the game also sometimes teleports me to the middle of nowhere! what can i do about it?
The fact mystic doesn’t care means we’re never getting a change. Niantic has NEVER felt the pressure from their content creation community so why would they ever care about their average players feedback??? Trying to find “common ground” with players is not the way to go about it. They will never change until they actually feel pressure.
Side note - I actually like some of the ideas they come out with. It’s not like everything they do is an immediate flop. But the fact no content creators seem to give a shit means that even smaller issues wont go solved. They are the only ones with a voice directly to Niantic.
I had no idea about this update (I live under a rock lol), so when I saw my new avatar I was so confused. I couldn't really tell what was wrong, but I knew that the avatar had gone through a significant enough change to find it unappealing. Then I found out about the update. They could have done something really cool, and this is what we end up getting...
I don't want my character to look like an androgenous weirdo. I made him kind of look ok but the old version was much better. I also wish they added the option for facial hair so you can make your character not looks so damn soft in the facial features. Also all of my outfit presets were lost..
I was actually TRYING for androgenous weirdo and it STILL misses the mark. I think what bugs me most is the long torso, thick and shapeless (even by my-reality standard) legs, and the almost complete lack of proper shading or contour on the ping-pong ball of a face. I got my avatar a hat to hide the oogly haircut they had, which made the face's lack of contour or shadow even more evident. Now the face looks like a pale pink ping-pong ball that for some odd reason is three shades paler than the rest of the exposed skin, and seems to glow from within because the hat casts no shadow either. Furthermore, when I was experimenting around with the different facial structure options, I noticed a few of them don't properly fit with many hats OR hairstyles. It's like mesh-glitches you'd expect to see in an old 2002 console game. I suspect there will be "wardrobe malfunctions " as well but so far I haven't encountered one while messing around with my avatar.
That's the problem with these companies trying to appeal to everyone without actually putting effort in. They should have kept the more anime-esq designs that made everyone looks good instead of going a shitty realism route where everyone looks bad. 😒
They aren't trying to appeal to everyone. Just one side.. thats what all of you are missing. DEI and GaymerX working on this update is them trying to get you to accept their way of thinking over your own.. they're pandering to trans and woke. They literally have gay in their name.. they are made to be panderers.
I left the game a while ago, and with these they are making sure I don't want to comeback
i'm a new player who started right before the new update came out, and obviously i can't speak for everyone. As a trans girl, i WANT my character to look super feminine, i WANT that expression of myself, of who i am. but these new models just don't do that for me. i absolutely loved how the old female trainer looked, i made her as pretty as i could possibly make her, just to log in a few days later and found out my character got absolutely demolished. it honestly makes me not want to even touch it anymore, and that like 2 days after i started playing
It’s funny how with the new customization options people are trying to make their characters like the originals as much as possible.
i got a full costume on so i havnt noticed much change. i do like the back drops behind the pokemon now when AR is turned off
I'm more optimistic about avatars getting reverted or totally overhauled, while remote raid passes didn't for one reason...
Niantics mission statement is, and has always been, to get people outside and interacting with their community. Remotes really violate that mission statement so on principle they are less inclined to roll back restricting those even if it hurts them. The avatars on the other hand don't have any affect on their stated mission at all, so they violate no internal principle (if they really do have one) by rolling this awful decision back.
I'm non binary, and these character model options are upsettingly painful and embarrassing.
What does non binary mean
It's kinda like cosplay...
@@mihnea6251Basically it's when someone neither identifies with "man" or "woman" and is outside of that gender binary
@@ava_240p5that doesnt make sense
@@mihnea6251 if someone doesn’t feel like a boy or girl.
There’s a bug where if you equip the lugia mask and wear a hair affecting hat, it’ll either not show the hat or make you bald. I learned the hard way when my usual fit turned me bald 🥲
The faces look worse, the skin colour looks unnatural, all body types look unflattering. So many other games have done this and done this well - how could Niantic miss the mark so much???
I've always had my characters face covered with the pikachu pumpkin head but before the update I could use glasses to add some depth inside the pumpkin head since it's just all black in there. Now after the update glasses no longer work and it's just dead and lifeless in there, I want my funny glasses back niantic
I think it could also be a thing to make people spend more money on their avatar
Removing gender isn't 'interesting'.... it's appalling 🤬.
how lmao
how is giving characters more customization a bad thing
I mean not really, why does it bother you so much?
i got the biome update thing today honestly really like it but the only down side is that diffrent pokemon spawning in each like that will probably get annoying
I spent a bit of money on poses and outfits that I won't ever use now because my avatar is so awkward and out of proportion.
Also, some of us enjoy matching our outfits to my buddy. And I like to choose a special outfit for Go Fest.
Not all "progress" is good, I miss my old pokemon style avatar 😢
Getting major Uncanny Valley vibes from the new avatars.
As a long time player i have an issue with the player models, but that doesn't matter. I have a new issue where my game crashes on launch. i literally could play for the first hour of comm day yesterday and then the game doesnt wanna open, ive tried everything to play the game and it doesn't function.
At least put something in the settings so I don't have to look at that thing in the bottom left corner during game play
So they don't even test their stuff huh? Embarrassing
And you know what else is outrageous? They deleted almost all of the recent 1 star reviews! Theyre trying to hide this, but its obvious that theyre doing some really shady work.
The people who Niantic paired up with was an LGBTQ non-profit organization (in reality, they arent) of some sort that Niantic paired up with to make this character customization update was a company with people who have a really, really, dark past. (thats what i heard from other youtubers videos about the customization)
Yup, a “non-profit” organization that was revoked of their non-profit status for failing to submit the proper forms for 3 consecutive years. Sounds like a legitimate non-profit to me. 🙄
Oh, and that small fact that they had to replace back-to-back CEOs due to repeated sexual harassment allegations.
Niantic (and The Pokémon Company, which is actually kind of a big deal) is now tied at the hip to this organization. They should be embarrassed, and instead they are acting proud of it. What even is this world we live in?!
I tried fixing mine in customization still doesn't look right. The hands are huge and the legs look weird. Mine looks like she had a botched bbl.
It’s also the 21st and tomorrow they’re rolling out the next update with the background catch screen and a Kanto event? Or something to do with Kanto but they haven’t said anything? It’s making me think it’ll be underwhelming but maybe they’ll surprise us with a really cool event with shiny increased spawns, but doubt it.
my old skins have all been deleted i hate niantic
Progressive is when more character options
they removed gender options entirely
@@feIon cool
@@feIon i mean technically, we can do our looks more gendered, the problem is that the costumization sucks ass so bad that the differences are minimal
They should remove this update and you should delete your account
is when you can't make a female character and for some reason, Pokemon go community manager is a they/them
I'm still upset about AR+ on regular Pokemon in my storage. I don't like having to buddy them to have a chance of getting a decent Smeargle.
I didn't care about the character until it looked so ridiculous that I had to hide every part of it lmaooo
20 people can’t be first😂
Completely unnecessary update that serves absolutely no one and only damages their brand and wider IP. Fantastic idea.
I like that now we have sliders that let us have more customization options, but why do *NONE* of those options let me make my avatar look the way it looked before? WTF?
Honestly I love the idea of more representation in the game, especially gender neutral options. But it should be that: an option! Adding a few more options would've been so much better than the customization they added... bc of all the body options all the animations look terrible as well, the movements and proportions are just weird and unnatural.
The only good thing imho was more color options, but even the different shades they chose are questionable... There's like 4 different types of black, but none of the brown colors look like actual brown hair to me. And with skin tones you're either pale or literally as white as a sheet of paper...
My solutions would be:
- 3 options for gender: Male, female and gender neutral.
- a few options for body types, but no customization bc that fucks with animations.
- Just add a color spectrum, that shouldn't be too difficult to program and that way you can actually pick a color you want.
My character looks transgender
Somehow, i think thats the goal
We in Brazil have had these avatars for way longer than you guys in the US, We have been used as guinea pigs by Niantic and now it's your turn
It looks tragic, no need to write more...
Having more options is nice, but it should have been added on top of what we have instead of taking it away. Having a Male/Female/Custom character would have been received way better. There is some good, but it needs improvement. I like that I can choose my character's build to be more muscular, for example.
If you want the original boy body, here are the body settings:
Weight: 2
Muscle: 0
Shoulders: 0
Chest: 0
Hips: 0
If you want the original girl body, here are the body settings:
Weight: 0
Muscle: 0
Shoulders: 0
Chest: 4-5
Hips: 0
only really works with the baggy clothes
ya the avatars are terrible but i dont see how its niantic pushing their progressive views on anybody...? I think they were just trying to make more inclusive body types and messed it up horribly lol
Yeah
they're gonna release a attempt to fix it update thats just getting rid of all the clothing items besides a gray baggy sweater and sweatpants
the rune maniac jumper was my go-to for the old avitar, now it looks like a literal baby onesie with a diaper…
