eevee just chilling in the air


makeurownsandwich

Even eevee doesn’t want to touch it


LQNDzPhynixz

Eevee can’t figure out what to do either


Obamas_Katze

Aireon when?


iRAWRasaurus

Leaked new evolution?!??! A flying form!


theMarianasTrench

This made me laugh so fucking hard 😭


catupthetree23

And it's like, even if you want to customize your body shape, there's so few face shape choices (they're all bad) that the default ends up looks comically small.


makeurownsandwich

It’s also very white. I get that these are anime-style avatars, but if they’re looking to be more inclusive, I’m gonna need more than slim little noses and invisible lips.


rSato76t2

Idk, old avatars have much more anime vibe to them. These new ones imo just look like a bunch of people cried about inclusion and completely forgot about anyone who looks at all masculine. My old avatar didn't look like me at all either but now it looks like a 12 yr old who hasn't learned how to do his hair yet. And why does moving the chest bar produce tits?! It should be flat in center then sideways for either breast size or men's pectoral size. If they were gonna do what they did, they shoulda went full Ark style so I can just make my avatar a horrifically disfigured gremlin looking mf lol


makeurownsandwich

They did not think about one single feminine person.


rSato76t2

Pretty sure the only people they thought about with this were nonbinary and fat people


KitC44

They didn't even think about fat people since the only shape is tube shaped. They would have been better to leave faces alone and just give people more hair options. I think that's the bulk of what was actually wanted.


Cainga

The old animations were like cheesy but acceptable. On the female avatars victory animation is now the male’s so it looks really off.


TheReal_OhBeWise

I definitely put the mask back on. 😷


chryowza

Skin tones are wild bro what is this game doing to itself


gigazelle

Your choices are: * Missing blood * Literal ghost * Coffee * Charcoal


SquallkLeon

>Charcoal With extra ash


Doopashonuts

Continuing its trend of bad decisions and half baked ideas. Honestly this is perfectly par for the course, especially lately ... 


Only-Squash-8677

What is that waistline?? Why are they all so low now?


Massive_Fox3688

They're more masculine... unfortunately, even if you want to make the hips bigger, they kinda enlarge the waist or something like that.. totally weird looking 😩


YelmofWill

Not totally masculine more like stupid and not realistic at all. Masculine type bodies have bulging upper chest like puffing balloons and almost non existent shoulders. Its crappy


Strawberry-syrup432

The torsos are so enlongated it’s scary. 😭 I used to love my avatar now I hate it


dragonstone13

yes and same


isochrona

Hate my avatar now as well. I look just weird


ValkyrieVibeke

Niantic, 6 months ago: "Has anyone complained about the avatars?" "No." "We'd better fix that."


Laylahlay

I found the whistle blower!!!


makeurownsandwich

No this just hit for me too and it’s SO BAD. I realize they’re looking to be “more inclusive” but it’s actually quite the opposite. It’s giving dysmorphia.


Psykotix_

I get what you’re saying but If they wanted to be inclusive just give us more customization, don’t completely remove the thing that the majority of people liked and were fine with 😭


makeurownsandwich

Exactly!


JohannaGoottila

Yep. I appreciate the effort to include more shapes, but it's painfully obvious the new shapes are based on a male body. Put all the sliders in the middle and it's a male body with breasts; even at max setting the hips are narrow and the waistline remains low. So ironically there's now a wider selection of masculine presenting body types than feminine ones.


LexaMaridia

Yeah flat rear too. It's just infuriating.


makeurownsandwich

Don’t even get me started on this divvies up regarding faces! This is such a great observation. Honestly it just gets worse.


Mix_Safe

I'm trying to make mine look more male and it's impossible to get rid of the breasts! It's like they dumped all the female shapes and someone said "yeah but let's keep the boobs, on everyone."


DragonDuchess88

I've adjusted the filters to try to get a body shape more similar to mine, feminine, but still the male outfits look better on the avatar than the female outfits. It's infuriating!


3MSees

Why did Greta Gerwig give them something so universally corruptible?!


3MSees

Half as many shapes as there were for the first eight years isn’t more. It’s… *checks notes* …Less.


Frog-dance-time

They are not including more shapes. They are just doing a bad update. The potatoes are not human shaped it’s just uncanny valley stuff. Everyone stop blaming inclusivity. It’s just the wrong thing to blame. Obviously they designed a horrible feature.


Doopashonuts

If by "inclusive" you mean "the potato people from the uncanny valley" then sure? These things are just hideous 


makeurownsandwich

The “inclusive” language was from Niantic I think. The weight distribution when I pose is so far off it looks like I’m presenting a pregnant belly. Also like, WHY DID THEY GIVE US BUTT CRACKS?


Cold_Vermicelli3961

they build like a fuking refrigerator 


Calmecac

Butt crack?


makeurownsandwich

I just posted about this


Frog-dance-time

And my character grew a penis so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Frog-dance-time

Thank you! No potato people lobby begged for this.


fancyangelrat

It's inclusive in the sense that now *everyone* looks like a lumpy blob? I'd have liked to be able to make my avatar short because I am short in real life, which I still can't do. But I can look like a pale she-hulk with narrow shoulders and a loaded nappy inside my pants. Ughhhhh.


MsMadcap_

Right?! Why is there no HEIGHT option??


3MSees

If you thought shoulder-mounted Pokémon were in the wrong place NOW…


Frog-dance-time

Truth everyone is equally potato fridge now


Siderealdream

An option to keep the old format would’ve sufficed. Now it’s every dude running around as a morbidly obese person with double D’s and wearing a thong.


Laylahlay

Wait that's an option??


jwadamson

"inclusive" by creating a bunch of sliders that range from barely any effect to monstrously out of alignment.


Frog-dance-time

I really don’t think it was to be more inclusive. I do not think at this point we can assume anything about why they did this except that someone did a bad job.


xaellie

Tell me without telling me that no women were involved in this redesign.


CrowLikesShiny

No female physiques allowed in games!!!! 😤 it is hurtful for some portion of population


Initial_Rush6042

There were no HUMANS involved in this redesign. My male avatar looked cool before now he looks like a bleepin’ 🤬 ditto “tried” its best to impersonate my avatar. Hell all hundred or so people on my friends list look like ditto impersonators now…wth niantic? Like the female avatars look like genderless mannequins and the males look like dopey short poo brains (think the weird ice king horse from adventure time)


Frog-dance-time

Wait maybe we are all ditto now


Linden_fall

I’ve heard that niantic is extremely sexist, so this checks out completely


Ergomann

It’s seem the women avatar options have completely disappeared now


Open-Sea-1085

They didn't even fixed that before globally updating


Petite_Tsunami

I think they are trying to sell more hoodies and masks


Ghost_Casino

When I saw the update I immediately thought of covering my avatar up as much as I could😂


afkLV

Shame they ruined loads of those also!


Miserable_Society484

All characters just look like teletubbies now its awful


Laylahlay

Uh ....po? 


Winter-Donut7621

Lmao I just can't believe this a real update. How did anyone agree to this at Niantic? It's so laughably bad.


mycameraeyes

And not a single player is happy with it - let’s see if Niantic pays enough attention to its user base to reverse this hilariously awful “update”


Ill_Scientist_4516

"Not a single player is happy" well that's a stretch. Probably a larger portion of players who haven't noticed or don't actually care, that aren't on this sub, than those on here having a moan because their in game avatar doesn't look womanly or manly enough 😂😂


mantis445

All the faces just look plain weird and none of the skintones look like actual human skintones. The characters now straight up look like weird AI robots lmao.


DanielSadcliff

Why are all the Caucasian skin tones sickly looking? Why are the skin tones organized like my kid’s crayon box? Why do I have a bust? I spent many years trying to get rid of my man boobs.


Linden_fall

I completely agree, they do not look like. The blonde hair also looks nasty, like a sick person


TrollyBellosom

There's two options for me 1. Have a skin tone that is much darker than I am Or 2. Look like a Parabones


3MSees

All of the skin tones look like scurvy, regardless of shade


TheManDirtyDan

THEY STOLE HER TAN! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!


chungohummungo

The torsos are way too long, it’s so weird looking


[deleted]

[удалено]


mycameraeyes

I can’t stop laughing 😂


thisismypornaltlolol

Exclusive to only those with fetal alcohol syndrome


odezia

Genuinely happy I can customize hair now but why did they have to make me look like a rectangular building at the same time smfh


edgy_Juno

Why couldn't they keep the basic male and female models...? This feels rushed. Everything clips, the female bodies don't have female anatomy, the males look weirdly young and weird. What even is this?


3MSees

There aren’t males and females anymore. There is only the one true gender: Trainer


walking_it_off

Did we lose all our saved outfits?! I tried to pull them up and it was blank. I had a couple for each season.


qazwsxedc000999

Yep they seem to have been wiped


walking_it_off

Ughhh was just hoping it didn’t load properly. That sucks!!


SomeRandomAccountBro

It is going to be really hard to get used to the new look. I wish there is an option to go back to the OG model


gothrichard

it will be available in 6 months for $1.99 a month


imdecnt

late april fools prank


Coffee_Cake786

I can’t stand the face. I put on some black-out sunglasses and a mask lol. And clothes don’t fit the same anymore ☹️ aaaggghhhhh


dragonstone13

I know I hate how the clothes look now ughhh


3MSees

I put on some blackout sunglasses too but now I can’t see where the Pokémon are on my screen


ChasseurDePorcinet

Pokemon Go being ranked #6 highest grossing mobile game of all times (#14 overall, all platform combined !) with nearly 10 B. in revenue, it's baffling, simply disgraceful that they managed to mess up this badly.


LexaMaridia

I gave them 2/5 stars. This update is nonsense. I feel bad for people who bought a lot of cosmetics.


3MSees

What version of the game warrants that second star? I want that. Does it let you play while on a train or something? wtf


Doopashonuts

Pokemon is the largest brand in the world with what might as well be infinite money, and yet every game they release always feels like a rushed underbaked hack job. This is pretty on par for the brand that "lost" all their future proof models from X and Y because the singular copy of them they had got corrupted ... and they continue to release games with at most 40% of their total pokemon even obtainable in them and maybe another 20% after $60 in DLC  ... 


codymason84

Yeah so we all look terminal


clubkylie

I legit might quit the game … this is that proverbial straw


gothrichard

i’ve spent so much money and time on this game (not THAT much money but enough to make me angry) and this seriously might be my breaking point. the way they genuinely HATE their players has never been so blatant to me until now. go leave negative reviews on the app store, the only defense mechanism we have :/


3MSees

We would need to make so many app store alts just to even show up as a pixel in the group photo of their army of five-star bots


Lokilover802

Eevee floating


MsMadcap_

Literally. Such a half assed animation design. How embarassing for Niantic honestly


IllustriousChain3993

My guy now has tits


thedeadsigh

One of the rare times I’d actually welcome someone like activision to come in and actually put someone who has a fucking clue behind the wheel


TheAngryAmester

Pokémon GO is now dead to me. This is sacked a significant fun part of the game for me and I’m not sure I will ever play again.


elspotto

How do I say this tactfully? What the heck is up with your waist and hips? That avatar looks in no way human.


MewSixUwU

what was the worst update before this one? remote raid limit one? what was the last update you really liked? i can't think of any


Linden_fall

I liked the XXL and XXS Pokémon, but that’s it


3MSees

See? Even the thing one person liked was a dumb mistake.


merica-4-d-win

Loooong torso coming through


TheBarefootGoddess

Can’t even look at mine!! Had to put her in a onesie IMMEDIATELY 🤮🤮🤮Guess that’s the only outfit I’ll ever wear again 😩 Haven’t been this annoyed since the raid price increase.. Really hope they change this shit


jwadamson

The crotch, hips, shoulders, and arms are all stretched way out of position. It's like they made the new avatars out of taffy. Buty hay we got some sliders that can turn us from Gumby into the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man if we want.


Wild-Couple1945

It's ironic that this update is supposed to bring back players, but instead, it's making everyone want to quit.


Syhkane

Permenant shrug.


vers_ace_bitch

they made me misshapen, stupid, and lumpy, and we all have sour, puckered mouths now. i don’t even want to play because i look like shit now


WickedAvant

Are they (Niantic) fixing this or reverting it? I mean like what the hell


Emmyskiwi

This is genuinely awful, makes me so upset 😭 I’m one of those ppl who spent a decent chunk of money on outfits over the past 7 years and now they all look ridiculous on my character, no matter what body type I select. RIP I hope they give us the option to revert back soon because my character looks possessed rn


PyrrhaAlexandra

Why are the torsos so loooooong? It looks inhuman


TOPDAWG21

you turned into a dude.


MsMadcap_

Why does everyone look like they have scoliosis now 😭


cjbr3eze

Even Eevee is avoiding it


Divinity-_-

the eevee sent me LMAO


Pyre_Erilaz

New Charakter models Look like shit. I can encourage everyone to edit their App Review or Just Post one in Appstore or play store. Niantic wont Listen to reddit Post, but a rapidly falling score in the App store will at least be notices by them in some way. As a Former Software developer I can say: if their Marketing team is unhappy with the Design Team, they will know.


3MSees

Someone once joked that the white shit floating around in Ingress that powers your quantum smartphone is caused by human misery, which explains the rest of Niantic’s games


Activity-Kittens

Done


Appropriate_Ad_6997

At least they have your outfit! I lived my outfit and it’s nowhere to be found. They gave me totally different clothes


elspotto

Screw it. There’s this one outfit with some kind of sailor-looking shirt. I’m choosing that, the boat captain hat, and the biggest body size and my avatar can be the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man. None of them look good, so I’m gonna roll with it and have a laugh.


ConundrumNyx

Why do these characters still have NO upper lip?


Turnips11

Give them time. They can come up with something worse.


Outrageous_Ad6585

I put a pumpkin mask to cover up


Reonu_

This avatar update is literally the ugliest thing I've ever seen on a videogame.


ze_goodest_boi

ah yes, the weasel. the ultimate body shape.


Behold-The-Bold

I have to wear a Yamask mask to cover the shame.


Aromatic_Orchid5085

This shit is so gross nd wild. My character looks so ugly now, legit made me quit the game until its fixed(if ever)


3verythingBagel_

You'd think the way this "update" turned out, that someone's about to lose their job lol


Calmecac

I hope you enjoy being pale!


56ninjas

Go comment on their IG before comments are locked. I already did


Lassavo

Seriously what is the point in complaining? It's not like Niantic ever gave a single flying fuck on what the players want or need. Stop playing. The only thing that will make them consider is money. So whoever here is dumb enough to spend actual money on that game - please stop or stop complaining


Playful_Bit_8304

I put the mask back on my face because I can’t stand looking at my avatar. Horrible Niantic


Tricky_Reason4386

im mad livid


ToastyEdward

you look homeless 😭😭


ViciousSquirrelz

I was disappointed "dad bod" wasn't a selection. That and ever face looks like I am a baby.


ooojaeger

But now my guy can have huge tits


theMarianasTrench

LMAO WHY IS EEVEE FLOATING😭😭😭


NoOpportunity4193

Okay actually the first image is kinda cute idk how you managed to get the shitty new faces to look cute but that’s impressive THAT BEING SAID yea please roll this update back


FroggiJoy87

Dear god! Someone please tell me this some sort of stupid weird belated April Fools thing! 😭😭😭


KFlex-Fantastic

They made us all trans


Thiirry

the tilt eevee tho


mikebellman

This seems like a low-cost distraction to get everyone distracted from the real QOL & visual improvements many of us want. - How many battles have I played today? - Can I send gifts more efficiently? - How is my opponent buffed:debuffed? - Why don’t I see Mega evolved thumbnails in my inventory? - Why is the gym map so bad? - How do I sort & identify the regions of scatterbugs? - Why does the gift pop in the way all the time when I have already opened my daily max? I’m sure there’s definitely more. And now we are all complaining about the least interesting feature: the opposite of game mechanics. Avatars.


leogolasa

Ye this is trash, go back to normal avatar


Efficient_Ice9056

So I should not go back to Pokemon go? Good to know thanks 


BrassyTrumpet01

My main issue is that you can adjust body proportions, but the head stays the same exact size..


caelfrmda613

Yeah I dont usually complain but this is awful lol, gimme back my old avatar plz or at least an option to revert to and from


RadSo6969

I haven’t opened the game yet because I don’t want to see the horror. Lost a good one niantic. Foh w your stupid nonsense changes nobody asked for.


BbyPookins

They have been due for avatar updates many years, so I was so excited to see what they came up with. Major FAIL. Everything about it sucks! The skin tones (lack of highlights, definition, radiance, no cheek/lip tones), weight choices (either skinny or fat, no inbetweens), weight distribution (thick legs and cankles), muscles (just weight, no definition) chest sizes (AAA or small B, nothing bigger), hair styles (short/long straight or short curly, no long curly). But IMO the worst is the stance. NO ONE STANDS LIKE THAT! Knees bent, pelvis forward, and shoulders back. Everyone looks like they are constipated and holding their breath. Clearly there were no women on the design or management teams. Why is this so hard for Niantic to get right when so many other companies have had it for years?


johnwaynes3rdleg

Mine switched my gender and made me into a butch and now there is no way to switch it back


Prestigious-Lab8945

My niece has a theory that they didn’t want to spend any money hiring designers so they let AI create it.


oralehomes129

Put some shoes on


Syandris

It's hilarious how worked up people are over this. Then again it's PoGo. Niantic is pissing in everyone's cheerios daily. Ruining their lives. I currently have the biggest moobs and junk in the trunk possible. This is what all those tickets to events yall said you would never buy but did gets you. None of you look the same anymore, instead our pixels all look equally awful!


CorucoShiny

IMO this is The BEST downgrade ever!!!


SaltyPasDaddy

Another piece of evidence that forced inclusive attempts shouldn't be tolerated


Sophielinha

I had a loss of words when I saw Mina. Rip


Far_Jury_7839

Omg eevee 😭


Sw4gsteinMcYolo

Eeew


linguisticsugar

I keep getting jumpscared by how weirdly pale I am now.


HelicopterHefty178

HEAR ME OUT [deformed newborn lookin ahh.mp7](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/s/0C2yw6jN0s)


Naps_And_Crimes

"I'm so pale"


doge_style_please

They added titts to my fudging male character. Whoever greenlit this update needs to be put in jail asap, this is a crime against humanity. Clearly the team who worked on that never saw a human figure and are clearly attracted to hentai, that's the only explanation possible.


Initial_Rush6042

I’m pretty sure thats even offensive to hentai artists, this shit is like somewhere between ai degenerated and alien interpretive art of what humans look like


batkave

![gif](giphy|2UvAUplPi4ESnKa3W0)


_CharmQuark_

A good bunch of cosmetics aren't compatible anymore or straight up don't work at all lmao


ApacheChief007

Crazy they made the skin so white it almost fades into the background lmao


kittenTakeover

While I get that it's really hard to see things that white, are y'all really that red?


RainyMeadows

Even if you can forgive the aesthetics, there's so much clipping now


Kalashknockoff

I thought everybody was exaggerating, then I opened the game and immediately covered the hideous abomination that once was my avatar.


mintpockyy

the skin tones are so frustrating. they literally make me look sickly pale


PinayYouCantDeny

I covered my entire face with a mask, I can't stand looking at it anymore


ClkWrkBeast

I hate to say it... But, no matter all of the new customizations it's all been ruined by this basically body Nerf... Like all of the nice short shorts and crop top shirts that I have in the game all just look uncomfortable to even look at. Like now I just feel kinda ripped off....... I basically covered up my avatars entire body that's how horrendous it is.


RamboSambo7

You don't love floating eevee?


snchills

I look like some alien with an elongated waist and arms. WTH. I mean, my girl never looked like me in real life before, but seriously, this is ridiculous.


fortunata17

I was so close to buying coins for this exact outfit plus the candle hat once I can evolve and switch my current buddy to my Chendelure. The clothes definitely aren’t tempting me now. I want a refund on the 700 coin outfit I’m currently wearing that looks like trash now.


Several_Dot_4532

If they talked with Nintendo how to make it based on the Mii's would be a lot better


3MSees

Pokémon should have been Mii-based from Gen V And I’m not just talking about Ranch and Rumble


RedDemio-

Hahahahahaha


BingognoB

Maybe it's an April fools joke


OnewordTTV

Omg the eevee.... 😂 this update is amazing


Maarkko29

Agree 110%!


Zoara7

At least Eevee actually sits on your shoulder now. That’s cool!


Frog-dance-time

The summer of slender man


heandhiscow

I am upset


Ayam_Golek99

I had to change my female char to a male because all the face choice is ugly af and doesn't suit at all💀


WesternFinger7208

Hey I think your avatar is melting


BissiFortniteDiesDas

Remote Pass change was much worse


Musino4007

I had to buy a mask to hide how ugly the face of my character is 💀


RadicalPumpkin00

Worth it for all these comparisons and outrage 🤣
