"Pokémon GO's Unpopular Avatar Update Sparks Outrage Among Fans"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Niche Gamer
Pokemon GO fans are upset after an update to the game's avatars, which were intended to offer more customization options but ended up changing the basic proportions and faces of the characters, resulting in a backlash from players, particularly women who preferred their original avatars. The update also included new color options for skin tones, eyes, and hair, as well as variable body proportions, but the negative reaction from fans reflects a pattern of questionable decisions from Niantic, the game's developer, including a previous price increase that led to a decline in the player base.
