Niantic has released a major update for Pokémon GO this week, one that players have been asking about for ages, as the game now has a new Avatar Update. For the longest time, making your own unique avatar for the game has been, shall we say, limited in scope. Sure, there are options, but ultimately, a lot of what you have to choose from ends up looking like another you see one of your friends made, because there's only been so many options. But now that system has been given an upgrade as they are now offering a wider array of options from hair to clothing to poses and more. We have more details on it below, as the update is available right now on iOS and Android.
