Forbes: We’re getting a new Pokemon game. It’s not on a Nintendo handheld, it has no overworld, and it’s going to look nothing like any Pokemon game you’ve seen before. The idea of Nintendo putting its energy into a mobile spinoff of one of its most beloved franchises might be necessarily concerning to longtime fans: when does this ever work out, after all? But I’ve become unreasonably excited about Pokemon Go, and I think it shows more creativity than I’ve seen from Nintendo’s core franchises in years. It might not reinvent the company, but it’s indicative of an energy that’s very encouraging.
The avatar update for Pokémon GO has officially been rolled out and fans are not happy about it. Some are demanding refunds for previously purchased clothing.
The new Pokemon GO update has significantly altered player avatar appearances, leading to backlash from the game's community.

Gaslight me by asking why I'm bothered by video game characters not looking sexy and by telling me that i don't know how real women look like. Smh
Niantic has announced a slew of Pokemon Go updates aimed at overhauling certain aspects of the game's experience, including visuals, avatars, and more.
