    The thing about adding options, is you're not supposed to remove what you're adding on to.

    Classic Niantic L. When will they stop taking 8th place in a 1 person race?
  • I’m really mad about the hair colors. The original color choices were very limited, and they’ve added more and more. But why did they take away the unnatural red? We can have three shades of purple but suddenly I can’t have red???
  • @ukley___
    At least give us the option to keep the old design
  • @JArt872
    There's a reason why "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." is a thing.

    Forget the fact that the new models look ugly af, the fact that they couldn’t even be fucking bothered to make clothes properly fit on every body type without clipping issues is egregious. It’s obvious they just didn’t give a damn about this update, and I genuinely wonder why they pushed it out in the first place. How could anyone of sound mind make such a massive blunder?
  • my biggest issue is how pale all the light skin tones are, there is not in between of dark and pale skin
  • @naxmaxJK
    They went from anime to walking straight out of toon town.
  • The most "go back" button moment ever, whoever made those changes messed up hard...
  • @mrx168
    I mean if they want to give the option to create these “ugly” avatars then why can’t they keep the old ones as well, be like Palworld where the devs give you the option of creating decent looking characters or ugly motherfarkers at your discretion… 🤷🏻‍♂️

    We play games to escape reality. Its a visual medium. It shouldn't look bad.
  • @JOZSEP
    What's crazy to me is that ONE group (GaymarX) came in, told them to make these changes to be "inclusive" and it all got ruined, why not take feedback from your customers instead of a group of people that don't care for the game and with a history of harassment against their employees
  • @user-yj7pg8rx7m
    my avatar went from looking ok to looking ghostly white and dead inside
  • @jonniefast
    if it was about inclusivity, it would've been optional
  • Im just confused why my anime character now sits so deep into the uncanny valley i refuse to open the app anymore for fear of my life 😂
  • @TheMrrccava
    It's not even about them wanting to be inclusive or whatever they said, that's fine. But why weren't these androgynous looks SETTINGS, and instead changes that got thrown on to everyone by default.
