At this point just add a custom avatar setting to Pokemon Go and keep the old ones. Any game company listening to Sweet baby inc is gonna lose money and their customers. The update is just a ehh not into it.
Women are surprisingly more sexist towards other women than you would think. At the end of the day it's all about what doesn't hurt the feelings of whoever consulted for them.
"WHY DO YOU CSRE SO MUCH?" I could ask you the same thing considering you went out of your way to change the whole ass rig of every single character in the game
"No one knows why", really? The fact that Black Rock and Vanguard each own 6.2% & 7% respectively of Niantic's Parent Company (Alphabet Inc.) has nothing to do with the removal of gendered features? Both Black Rock and Vanguard have told companies to include ESG/DEI into their games and documents back up the fact that even if the resulting changes would lead to a profit margin being negative that they would cover the cost of the discrepency. By the way thats just the tip of the ice berg. The Pokemon Company is owned by Nintendo, of whom Guess what Black Rock and Vanguard own a staggeringly substantial amount of the shareholders. But that has absolutely nothing to do with it huh? On a related matter, this policy has cost Black Rock/Vanguard $5 Billion in profits.
@@Pioxys it's a modular system replacing a static system Now the body is customizable, so the model would have been reworked with modularity in mind It's likely a new cg artist, so no surprise the models aren't the exact same. Keeping legacy support for an old deprecated model and then being expected to redesign all new fashion items for that deprecated asset would just be dumb
It was a bigger deal when the originally tried it on the main npc's. It got more negative feedback and they switched back. This time they were like 'a different company made them, it's not our fault'... but it is, ultimately Niantic fault...
That's weird, my female avatar still looks the same, no change at all and there's also no option to change it ^^" Is this different depending on your country? XD
Yeah same here… it looks the same on my end… Though I hope they don’t make it gender neutral…. At this point it just feels like being a girl and having the proportions of one seem offensive if this update occurs… I’m not saying people don’t come in all shapes and sizes… but usually girls have hips and you know chest… We already have both genders… just make 2 more options of gender neutral people if they want to be inclusive….🤔
All these people seem to give a damn about is their own representation. Is it gender neutral for the women who actually have the figure that these people are trying to erase? Getting outraged over a game because heaven forbid the woman in it has an incredible body is just elitist bullsht. These people need to learn how to enjoy things without the attached narcissism of needing to see themselves in every piece of media they consume. Don’t like it, don’t play it, but you have no right to protest to have it changed. Let the artist make their art without you backseat driving their creativity just so you can accept yourself.
You might wanna do a community post regarding this channel because I literally didn't knew this existed until I read a reply. UA-cam removing the channels option didn't help either.
On android turn off your location before opening pokemon go, launch the game then put it on after the game launches ,And you can still play on the previous version of the game . Iv been doing it for a few weeks now
People are more bothered by the statement being made by the change than the change itself. The fact that identity politics has to rear its ugly head in everything is bothersome, and it’s seen as a sign of things to come
More customisation is a win. You can mix and match more clothes and get a more unique character now The old avatar system was absolute trash, it’s a huge upgrade and it’s long overdue
it is so noticeable even in the overworld. I feel like the character has entirely been taken away, and I have absolutely negative quantities of interest of playing with the crap and abomination they are trying to replace my character with. I actually only happened upon this video because I'm looking for a vocal way to join a protest or a boycott.
What does the update have to do with non-binary stuff? Was it called the gender neutrality update? Feel like this vid is a little misleading in this regard. Considering the comments poor reception to the change, ascribing it to gender nonconforming people is sort of aiming the cannon at the wrong crowd.
I Identify as non-binary and even I think this is a stupid update that just makes everybody unhappy..... I was in charge of the update I would simply make all the clothing items accessible to all genders and just make a third nondescript option (as well as more hair options but I've been saying that since day one)
The update actually didn't have anything to do with adding or removing gender. They added more customizable models, which just ended up looking bad. Thats not going to stop anyone from reading more into it but thats it.
Thanks for the vid yeah its sad that Japanese company are slowly eroding due to esg and dei will say Upper echelon has a good video* how video games went woke* without putting the political social debate in your face.
The transgender pandemic pandering continues again. I can not wait to see what generation ten pokemon design / characters, now that game freak has partner with D.E.i.
@@quagsirenuohnuoh It's very possible that you aren't actually trans, if you feel like de-transitioning. However, for people who actually are trans, transitioning is a proven remedy (i.e., "cure") for whatever negative effects gender dysphoria may have on the psyche. Please talk to a professional about your predicament, not people spouting ragebait online.
@ Evixyn The update has nothing to do with any "transgender pandemic." Please tell me where you got that information, because I have yet to find anything from Niantic saying this.
@@quagsirenuohnuoh For starters you need to love yourself first bro, I see it all the time. If you want a better outlook in life or want to change for the better it needs to come from within.
It's extremely strange the little information that was given about this update but it is there...
Wasted update potential back to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links for me
Read the Talmud
At this point just add a custom avatar setting to Pokemon Go and keep the old ones.

The old ones were trash 🚮
I feel like that it’s a waste of time, money and resources for a update
Yup considering no 1 I know personally even plays anymore
@@SargeWolf010 well it’s definitely something that has no impact on the gameplay at all and as far as I’m aware off no one really cares about
Honestly, instead of "updating" the female model, they should've just added it as an optional model choice in character creation.
Boy, do I have news for you!
You can identify as anything but a beautiful feminine woman.
Ain't it funny that modern feminists don't like femininity being represented at all
Good news! You still can. This video is braindead ragebait.
@@andrewcotter2036 have you opened up pokemon go recently?
These people claim to be all about equality and whatnot, but isn't the de-feminization of women in and of itself sexist...?
Women are surprisingly more sexist towards other women than you would think. At the end of the day it's all about what doesn't hurt the feelings of whoever consulted for them.
Exactly! Well said.
This update is offencive and basically tells people that their avatars are wrong and that they need "correcting".
Very offensive to me.
Avatars have been stuck with the same hairstyles/features since release. Its about time they gave us more customization options.
Yeah man, its ridiculous. Now its going along with the wokw bullshit. From this point i quit playing
They should put that as a third option for the people that want it...not force it...gender extremists are going too far with their platforms
The update actually didn't have anything to do with adding or removing gender. They added more customizable models, which just ended up looking bad.
What makes you think this has anything to do with "gender extremism"?
"WHY DO YOU CSRE SO MUCH?"

It's all satanic.

Pokemon Go MUST be unistalled. This is the wildest insult to a playerbase i have seen ever.
Neat, still waiting on the revert on Raid Pass Limits
Never ever ever ever happening
Why didn't they just add the option for that body type. Why force a woman to look like a man if they don't want to?
There literally are body types you can choose..
@@scottfromspaceNot what they’re saying.
One option has been removed to appeal to another option.
Rather than making it just it’s own option.

Im not seeing this change on my friends list. Gladly.
It's only live in the UK. They're testing some revamped avatar system that's supposed to give players more options. It's not even finished yet.
@@andrewcotter2036 I live in the UK and this revamped avatar system shocked me, my the face on my avatar looks goofy thanks to this update
That's weird, my female avatar still looks the same, no change at all and there's also no option to change it ^^"
Is this different depending on your country? XD
Yeah same here… it looks the same on my end…
Though I hope they don’t make it gender neutral…. At this point it just feels like being a girl and having the proportions of one seem offensive if this update occurs…
I’m not saying people don’t come in all shapes and sizes… but usually girls have hips and you know chest…
We already have both genders… just make 2 more options of gender neutral people if they want to be inclusive….🤔
If you think your avatar looks the same it's probably because you have a very low standard in relation to how a woman should looks like.
All these people seem to give a damn about is their own representation. Is it gender neutral for the women who actually have the figure that these people are trying to erase?

These people are just giving feminists a real target.
I implore you to stop getting your information from UA-camrs, and actually do research on the update. It has nothing to do with gender politics.
@@andrewcotter2036 Please enlighten me.
@@andrewcotter2036 Prove it.
@@suroguner Me when I've never heard of "burden of proof"
Please dont change pokemon creatures genders

Where is this statement you speak of?
You don't "hardly" see your character. It's a huge part of the game to dress up your character how you like
More customisation is a win. You can mix and match more clothes and get a more unique character now
The old avatar system was absolute trash, it’s a huge upgrade and it’s long overdue
Seriously there are good clothing items for both genders and being and being able to mix and match is really cool
it is so noticeable even in the overworld. I feel like the character has entirely been taken away, and I have absolutely negative quantities of interest of playing with the crap and abomination they are trying to replace my character with.
I actually only happened upon this video because I'm looking for a vocal way to join a protest or a boycott.
It's funny how Pokemon has gender but not the humans
They could have just added more options for gender neutrality to actually have more inclusivity.
Biology is a thing
I didn't find out the gender change button..😒😒😒

Yeah, ikr? Misinformation on the internet is so easy to find nowadays!
Ppl getting triggered over this needs to get laid reeaal bad LOL
Ylgu and gnitsugsid spelled backwards. Definitely not ever playing it now.
i don’t care i’m attracted to pokémon so lgbtq issues don’t affect me
Insane
WOW. That is horrible. Pokemon actually sucks these days. Sad stuff.
I Identify as non-binary and even I think this is a stupid update that just makes everybody unhappy.....

This could only possibly hurt the people who cared about the avatars in their original proportions, this is Google UI levels of "who asked?"
Are you sure?
I didn't see it.
It's only live in the UK.
Compl😢forgot about Pokemon go
I never got the update to this wtf
Sorry proto

Niantic is not Japanese, and your comment is nigh-indecipherable.
nah bruh 💀💀💀
It’s so dumb
WTF… This is ridiculous…
Yeah two words. Who cares
damn. glad I dropped the game when I did. wtf is this.
