Some Pokemon GO fans are currently accusing the game’s developer, Niantic, of misleading its player base by using old character models in marketing images to sell avatar items.
This is one of the latest developments in the controversy surrounding the recent change in avatars in Pokemon GO, which has been widely disliked by fans.
Niantic released a Pokemon GO update called “Rediscover Yourself” on April 17, which was meant to modernize the popular mobile game.
As part of this update, all the character models in the game were changed, but many in the Pokemon GO community disliked the new avatars.
Now, some Pokemon GO players are mad that Niantic is still advertising paid clothing items for the game by using the old avatar models instead of the new ones.
