‘Ruined my trainer’: Furious Pokémon Go players bash game’s new avatars, broken visuals

Pokémon Go has officially changed its avatar models, and players across social media are mourning the loss of their previous looks, with some saying this new update has “ruined their trainer” along with causing various visual bugs.

On April 17, the first wave of Niantic’s new “Rediscover Pokémon Go” updates went live, pushing a new set of avatar designs live with more customization options available. Unfortunately, those models also drastically altered the look of legendary Japanese character artist Yūsuke Kozaki’s original Pokémon Go designs for the player trainers, leaving them as “corpses” with less vibrant colors and odd proportions.
