Niantic teased something big coming to Pokémon Go soon, and now we know it is a set of updates for the game that will change a few visual and gameplay elements. This “Rediscover Pokémon Go” push includes an overhaul for the avatars that players are not happy about. 

Niantic has been testing several changes to Pokémon Go in limited markets. Over three weeks, some of these tests will be rolled out in the game as content updates that will impact certain gameplay and visual areas. This includes one change that somewhat replaces the trainer avatars designed by legendary Japanese character designer Yūsuke Kozaki with a new set of more customizable models.
