Pokémon Go fans fed up with Niantic limiting options: ‘We aren’t teens anymore!’

Pokémon Go players are begging Niantic to add more avatar customization options to the game, which have been untouched since Go launched in 2016. They argue that not only have fashion trends evolved, making the current hairstyle choices outdated, but they’ve also undergone physical changes like gaining weight or balding and want their avatars to mirror these changes.

“Why can we still not change hairstyles?” beckoned one frustrated player on social media on Oct. 22. They pointed out it’s been seven years and they’re still stuck with the “same awful hairstyles” that were in style in 2016. “And body shape,” added another. “I am a chubby male in his early 40s. These teen avatars don’t look like me.”
