Na, Nintendo controls Pokémon on every hardware. The Pokemon Company is also a Japanese company anyway, jointly ran by Nintendo, Gamefreak and Creatures. Niantic probably just did their own thing.

Yes, maybe this one flew under the radar, but TPC shouldn’t let it progress any further. Before you know it, every Pokémon will have more genders than there are stars in the sky.

GaymerX haha

Can't make this shit up

I hope the steam curator will take that into account and look for other of these consulting firms.

My Pokemon identifies as they/them who are you to misgender my Pokemon

Even the super wokes at Reddit are mad about this they really did go too far too fast LMAO

You got to boil the frog slow on woke DEI shit like this

 

[Trilobit]

That's the most awful character design I have seen in many years.

Are women seriously pleased with seeing femininity being squashed out for the benefit of a tiny percentage of men who want to feel included?

It's quite disgusting that kids have to grow up in this kind of society.

Why are good looking women hated so much these days?

GaymerX not Sweet Baby, same deal though.

GaymerX is committed to creating fun and safe spaces for gamers and gaymers of all identities. GaymerX is a queer space made for everyone and everyone is welcome!

Sounds good.

Nintendo folding

As someone said before this had nothing to do with Nintendo or even TPC, this is all Niantic

It is a bit ironic though that Nintendo + TPC will lawyer up and DMC takedown any fan project just for existing, but an official partner absolutely poisoning the brand is met with complete silence.

Glad i don't play this garbage anymore.

Thank you sweet baby inc!

People aren't happy that their avatar looks more like them? I don't think they're the type that hit the gym and stuff.

“Trainers, your avatar can now look even more like YOU”

Hell no we aren't and these woke developers and publishers never seem to understand that

We need to get away from the mindset what female characters can’t have sex appeal or at least some fucking beauty appeal

Nintendo USA has a DEI department and is hiring.

I don’t think trans girls want to look less feminine. I bet seeing their character look more manly all of a sudden is pretty triggering.

 

[Bernoulli]

I've never seen a fat npc on old pokemon games or I'm tripping

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

In the future we will require all women to get breast reductions and testosterone therapy, that will really make women feel better about themselves.

 

[mnkl13]

wait so the female body model is now the same model used for the male body? so women lost a model of their own in this game and now are limited to using the one created for men with minor tweaks? well that's feminism alright.

 

[chromhound]

At least this update has produced some funny memes

unless they themselves become the new model of what femininity should look like. they don't want to look less feminine, that's right, and even tho they like it, the current model of femininity is unachievable for them. so the solution is to manage expectations. just look at their power. and women are doing nothing against this.

I haven’t played Pokemkn Go in a while. Their character/avatar customization was pretty basic, and kind of barebones, with some free cosmetics and bunch of ones you can buy with their in game currency.

I get that it’s suppose to appeal to all age groups, and they can’t have busty, thick anime waifus, but why change something that didn’t need to be change? Nothing was wrong with the old formula, now you got avatars that are worse, less appealing, and seems to be agenda driven woke politics? I guess that’s Niantic for you.

Something that didn’t need to be change? You realize how many women the old avatars killed?

 

[FeralEcho]

Her ass is so flat that her backpack now makes her look like Quasimodo

And thats an insult to Quasimodo as he has more form than whatever the fuck these brainless devs were trying to convey with these garbage design choices.

This avatar change will be killing a whole lot more.

That's what's happening on the PokemonGo subreddit. They'll revert the change just from the feedback from that group.

 

[Esppiral]

Pretry sure they have data of how much does she weight and they updated her avatar acordingly.

Every gamer who's sick of this woke agenda.

If they do this with Pokémon Go what's to stop them to do this with other upcoming games. It's already happening and it only seems to getting worse.

It's very simple. If it's politically motivated it should never be implemented in a game.

And before some start: but what about games with political themes?
That's not what I mean and you know it.

 

[StueyDuck]

I don't know why everyone is so upset.

Every woman I know is an effeminate man in a dress .

I smell consulting from sWeET BABY INc

Nah, someone seemed to track it down, their consultancy was from a company called GaymerX … same thing but with a primary focus on LGBT, you can see niantic as a client at the bottom of their page
