Pokémon GO: The latest update is really bad

earthpressnews

The avatar update in Pokémon GO was very poorly received by the community. We asked you for your opinion and you voted diligently.

What kind of update is this? A major update with 4 new features was recently announced in Pokémon GO. These features have been divided into different segments, most of which have already found their way into the game.

A feature that updated the look of the avatars and the editor for them was very poorly received by large parts of the community. It was even dubbed the worst update in the history of updates.

More than 80% of you want the old avatar back

What kind of survey was that? In the survey we wanted to know from you what your opinion was about the avatar update. As of April 6, 2024 at 12:40 p.m., 2,546 trainers have voted. The result looks like this:

  • I want my old avatar back with 2,124 votes, about 83%
  • I’m not interested in the avatar with 213 votes, about 8%
  • I think it’s good overall with 162 votes, about 6%
  • I think it’s great with 47 votes, equivalent to about 2%

    • The vast majority of you, about 83%, want the old avatar back. So your opinion is pretty much in line with the reaction to the update that can be found on social media. While about 8% of you think the update is good or great, 8% are not interested in the avatar at all.

    Some coaches also took the time to leave their thoughts in the comments. They wrote the following:

  • I’m more of an avatar type player, I don’t care as long as it looks a bit like something – and that’s where my bar is really low. But what is delivered here is below all cannon, writes user Ach Noe on MeinMMO
  • Sorry, but what was Niantic thinking? There are such good programs for avatar design. Not only one criterion is bad, no, all of them, says user 37124DTM on MeinMMO
  • I experimented with it for 1-2 minutes and I have to say that anyone who wants to create an even uglier avatar should have every reason to be completely satisfied with the update, writes user Walez on MeinMMO

    • It remains to be seen whether Niantic will take the trainers’ feedback to heart and make further changes to the new avatar system. So far it seems to have put very few people in a good mood.

    The update was so poorly received by parts of the community that compensation for items of clothing was demanded.
