Players aren't happy with Niantic's latest Pokemon GO update

[John Elden Ring]

​

The latest Pokemon GO update alters players avatars to make them more fat and dumpy. Women's avatars are less curvy. Asses have been flattened. Waists have disappeared into jelly. Skin tones changed.

Rather than adding these additional body types to the game (and keeping the old ones), players are now forced to look differently than they previously did. Most players are pissed, because this is a game that's sold cosmetic clothing for your avatar for years.

The Pokemon GO subreddit is full of examples






Some before and after examples (these are the same avatars pre- and post-update)
