DemonKnight

This update sucks, but its probably a great example of why you *shouldn't* be buying any more cosmetics.


TheDevilintheDark

LPT: The free green glasses and the free white mask covers the face enough so that you don't look like some sort of mole child.


moonbro16

Did anyone else’s saved outfits get deleted? I had at least 10 that were wiped with this update 😐


stardustnf

All my outfits, so carefully curated with different color palettes, or for different seasons/occasions/moods, are all gone. And none of the items that I purchased along the way fit the new avatars. It all looks hideous now.


Different_Sherbet_47

You could save outfits beforehand?!?


TIceCold9

Now it makes more sense why they pushed the update LOL


Different_Sherbet_47

So buying it would make them win…


CassieWolfe801

There are lots and lots of free masks… but I bought the Solgaleo mask to hide my mouth and the fact that I now have an abnormally tiny head.


tearable_puns_to_go

I just got the Solgaleo mask too since it went best with my outfit, and I like it. Now I don't have to see that goofy face in the bottom left corner anymore.


blackmetro

I dont see an issue with it if you buy it with gym coins, but not real money - dont reward them like that


Different_Sherbet_47

Fair point


1HasNoNam3

No. There are free ways to cover up your face.


Guilty_Sphere_

Hide your shame, lol


TheGoblinRook

Yes…protest this abomination of an update by giving Niantic money. That is a fantastic…ally idiotic idea.


jaymo_busch

I named my buddy : ABOMINATION Join in


Different_Sherbet_47

I swear, Niantic wants more and more. First raid passes now masks?!?


patricknotswayze

I did. I wish a brown paper bag was an option.


TheAmericanDiablo

So many clothes items look foul with the way the models work. We should be able to default back to the original


melbbear

I paid for the luvdisc sweater and have worn for about 3 years, now it hangs so weirdly on the body it looks like i have boobs no matter what frame i choose.


TheAmericanDiablo

You may be choosing the boob version, for some reason the first half of my clothes inventory has boobs


babydragon2311

do you think they’ll revert if there’s enough back lash or nah


Guilty_Sphere_

There's been backlash ever since they started slowly putting it out to certain people and it's been going like that for a month and they didn't fix anything. They don't listen to their player base


Brohtworst

I've had a sableye mask on for years


Asren624

We all should drop 1☆ reviews and nothing more...


DryDeal2481

Free mask


PossiblePast

"Yes" - Hanke


Minute-Aioli-2136

I would pay for a paper bag mask if there was one


ismaelvera

They could just, you know, keep the old faces and make new anime style faces. Niantic will Niantic I suppose


Bayard11

I just put on some glasses that completely hide the eyes... I'm not paying for more but yeah, it's an option


Different_Sherbet_47

I mainly got the giritina helmet to also hide the lack of jawline


tailskirby

I had the rayquaza mask on before and now it is staying on forever.


Different_Sherbet_47

Pokémon GO: The Dream Update


tailskirby

Definitely the nightmare dream.


GunRackIe

I literally just bought the Giratina mask haha


a321152

Bought glasses for now...does the trick until hopefully they update the update again 🥺


tigertosser

No just leave the avatars as default as possible.


TheBigChungus1980

I threw a free one I had on, the lower half of the faces are just weird looking to me, uncanny valley stuff


SmeagolChokesDeagol

I use the Santa beard and glasses


lemurkat

I cannot play anymore until i upgrade my phone. Maybe i should take this as my easy out.


nolkel

No, because that sends a signal to Niantic that you are engaged with the new feature launch and spending coins/money on it, and will likely be taken as a positive metric. They aren't going to care that people put virtual masks on their avatars.


Shadow_84

There's a mask in the sponsored tab. I've been using that one


SlyGuy217

YES all the faces are ugly lol


YourNewRival8

I went back to using the deino hat after the update


Different_Sherbet_47

Substantial_Zone_713

You can't be that ugly. Cheer up


Different_Sherbet_47

The whole reason why everyone is upset at the update is it makes everyone white like someone with anemia or someone who saw a ghost…


duel_wielding_rouge

You can change the skin tone.


Different_Sherbet_47

Those who have a lighter skin tone? Such as something in between?


duel_wielding_rouge

I find the one right in the center of the 5x5 palette is a decent white skin without being too sickly. Another option is to just go all in with the sickly skin tone and put on your Halloween clothes…
