It may not seem like it, but the truth is that there are still millions of people playing Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a> every day. And, luckily, Niantic’s game has continued to improve little by little until it became what it always wanted (and should have been): the closest thing we will ever have to catching Rattatas and Charmanders in real life. But of course, not all the decisions made lately have pleased the fans, who have suddenly found themselves with a controversial update for the most absurd reason.<\/strong> And, for once, the complaints make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n

Pokeugliness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It turns out that this same Wednesday Niantic<\/a> has released an update in which, supposedly, it was going to make trainers look more like players with different options to add to the characters. The problem? Many say that their avatars are now noticeably uglier<\/strong>. It may seem trivial or a complaint thrown into the void, but the truth is that it has a basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new avatars of Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a> are not only uglier: in some cases, they are real aberrations. On paper, everything seems very nice: players will have more body options, skin tones, and more<\/strong>, and finally, we will be able to see people with a non-normative body. The problem is that there has been an error (or several) and instead of being a display of diversity, it has made everyone look like they came out of ‘Freaks’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faces staring into nothingness, gigantic hands, disproportionate arms, sudden changes in skin tone… Some have said it looks like a flashlight is pointing at their face, and of course, people who have decided to cover their faces from now on. Niantic is supposed to release a way to fix it sooner or later.<\/strong> Until then, it’s better for players not to take the slogan “now your avatar<\/a> looks more like you” to heart. For the sake of their ego.<\/p>\n\n\n
