Pokemon Go players are demanding a long-awaited addition to the game – the ability to change their avatars’ appearance, including hairstyles, body shape, and height. This desire stems from the frustration of being stuck with the same outdated hairstyles since the game’s release in 2016.
Since Pokemon Go was launched over seven years ago, it’s only natural to expect players’ preferences and styles to evolve. After such a significant amount of time, players are eager for Niantic, the game’s developer, to implement these basic customization options that should have been available long ago.
Expressing their frustrations on Reddit, one player straightforwardly stated, “Seriously. Seven years and we’re still stuck with the same awful hairstyles. They’re sooooooo 2016.” Their sentiment resonated with many others, highlighting the unanimous agreement among the community that an update is overdue.
Pokemon Go fans call for added customization feature
Sharing their frustrations on Reddit, one user simply stated, “Seriously. Seven years and we’re still stuck with the same awful hairstyles. They’re sooooooo 2016.”
While simple and to the point, their frustrations and call for change were inherently echoed throughout the community, with many thinking the alteration was far overdue.
“I agree! I wish we could change our hair! Also height and weight would be cool too,” explained one user, highlighting the desire for more comprehensive avatar customization. Numerous players commented on how they have personally changed since creating their avatars, emphasizing the need for an update.
Others expressed their passion for customizable avatars, affirming that the current “teen avatars don’t look like me.” Players believe that personalizing their avatars is essential for a more immersive and enjoyable gaming experience.
Echoing the sentiment, one user stated, “It really does baffle me the lack of avatar options,” and suggested that Niantic could easily monetize this feature by offering avatar remakes or different hairstyles for purchase. However, opinions varied regarding whether these customization options should be free or paid.
As of now, it is uncertain if Niantic plans to introduce these cosmetic changes. Nevertheless, players are hopeful that Niantic will listen to their feedback and make updates not only to avatars’ appearance but also to the game’s overall backgrounds.
