Pokémon GO: Avatar update ruins clothes

earthpressnews

The Pokémon GO avatar update is met with great resistance in the community. Now trainers are also reporting problems related to the update.

What kind of update is this? A major graphics update with 4 features was recently announced in Pokémon GO, which will come to the game in several steps. The first part of the update has now been released.

It’s called Rediscover Yourself and brings big changes to the avatars. The update has been so poorly received in the community that many trainers want the update to be reversed.

Now there are reports from the community that the update is causing even more problems.

Clothes misshapen, outfits deleted

What is the problem? The first problem described by trainers on Reddit concerns the clothing items. Some of them apparently can no longer be equipped or found by trainers in their inventory.

In addition, there are items of clothing that look bulky and no longer attractive due to the new avatars, which is why trainers avoid them. This is particularly annoying if clothing items come from events or were purchased with PokéCoins.

The second problem concerns the saved outfits. With an outfit you can save a combination of clothing items and quickly switch between different outfits at any time.

There are also problems with the update. Trainers report on Reddit that the outfits that were saved before the update have been deleted and will therefore need to be recreated.

What does Niantic say about this? There are currently no official statements from Niantic about the update or feedback from the community. A senior Niantic employee told pokemongohub.net the following:

We’ll send all your feedback to the product team and the people who worked on the avatar system. We take this very seriously and really appreciate you sharing your open, personal opinions/the opinions of your followers.

However, it must be noted that this is not an official statement from Niantic that they have published themselves, but rather just a short letter from an employee to a website that deals with the topic.

What does the community say about this? The community’s comments are not exactly positive given the problems. Some comments on this are:

  • Some items have been removed with this update […] I’ve been up and down and can’t find her. And I spent real money on it, writes a trainer on Reddit.
  • And some items we paid for are no longer wearable because they’re all now misshapen, notes another trainer on Reddit.
  • I checked out my Style Shop to see what everyone was talking about (missing items, repurchasing other items, etc.) and noticed that all of my saved outfits were gone too. Without warning, you can also read it on Reddit.

    • What do you think about the new update? Do you also have problems? Feel free to write us your opinion and experiences in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers on the topic here.
