Finally a fucking reason to download.
I want to be a gender fluid snorlax human hybrid with a team of snorlaxes

 

[Danjin44]

I'm more surprised people still playing this game.

 

[Davevil]

I smell consulting from sWeET BABY INc

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

Is it true that insecure unattractive women and trans women won’t ever feel accepted unless the very concept of an attractive feminine woman is completely erased from existence? I’m paraphrasing but I’m sure that was the gist of a dozen kotaku articles…

 

[violence]

Aww man... Come on guys, I'm sure they put a lot of work into this update.

 

[Saber]

So they literally made them all more chubby and remove curves for no reason lol

It's not like main games are that different. SV did made your main character genderless, while introduced some gorilla female models.

Rare Candy is for pokemons, stop eating them(even the pokemon is mad at her for eating them all).

I blame a lot of that on the shitty new art style in general.

I really want them to go back to gen 3 and 4’s

Their art style is almost non existant non existant. This makes the game more ugly when you take into account that the enviroment is dry and lifeless(textures, tree, open world design, etc). The region itself makes no sense since they usually based on a specific country and culture, but it's a mess of ideas.
Even some of art they made for the new pokemons looks like were made using AI.

 

[akaFullmetal]

If it stops you from playing Pokemon the yeah it's a problem but if not then yeah, who cares .

[RagnarokIV]

The players are protesting, in their own way:

Every reply has had me laughing but this one fucken killed me LMAO
Genuinely got me with the fart through the mouth before transitioning into a whistle giggle crescendo to belly laugh.

Fucken killed me. My wife “what are you laughing at now?”

Then she done the same.

 

[RagnarokIV]

 

[ReyBrujo]

Wow, that thing is still running? I started Go because I wanted to reserve my name from Ingress but found it kind of lacking. I think I never reached level 30 or 40, the first cap. I don't think we could even customize avatars back then unless I'm mistaken. Maybe they are making avatars fat so that they get thinner the more you walk...

 

[Arsic]

LOL. Lmao even.

 

[Yamisan]

They better leave this out of Pikmin Bloom.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Is Nintendo ok with this? Aren’t they typically very protective of their franchises and characters?

It’s weird. It’s co-owned by Nintendo and two other companies.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

Why though?... I wish they at least gave a reason.

Just add more options to make your character look out of shape, or very gender neutral.

There's no need whatsoever to take stuff out, or straight up just take the control away from the player.

Also, the models look hideous. It's not even that the characters look ugly, the actual models look slightly lower resolution for some reason.

If we apply occam's razor then it's probably laziness and greed. They replaced the gendered models with just 1 model you can dress around so now they don't have to make 2 of each custome lol. (and being woke gives it points of course).

 

[deriks]

Why making so ugly?

 

[Draugoth]

Is this a limited time Jim Sterling x Pokemon crossover or a permanent change?

You can change it, still funny

Fucking great, the mods of that sub are going to be working overtime for the foreseeable future ROFL.

That’s really lazy though Jeez.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

So glad I never played this garbage.

 

[Pejo]

I like to give the benefit of the doubt whenever possible, but it's VERY hard for me to not see this as blatant Trans agenda.

At the very least there should still be an option to use the old character models even if you like the new ones. This is an insult to women, in my opinion.

 

[cash_longfellow]

I had two friends and an ex girlfriend get in car accidents because of this trash (only one was a friends fault)…let this garbage die.

 

[tkscz]

It's a masculine body. Even the fat body is that of a man's and not a woman's. Very curveless almost muscular.

It's obvious a Trans body, Removal of breast and curves, addition of strong masculine chins only.

And they said they made bodies for everyone but then take away body parts and shapes that people have, like breast.

 

[Mortisfacio]

So all women are men and all men are effeminate? Wtf...

 

[Tams]

The player character faces were made to look horrible and souless a while go.

This though... well it's Niantic. Shitty company.

 

[Gambit2483]

Apparently breasts, ass and hips are unrealistic body types for women in 2024 ....this shit is now beyond ridiculous

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Thank GaymerX consulting company for adding this wonderful DEI. Don’t you all feel included now?

 

[Saber]

Sweet Baby involved? Well thats explains everything, changing feminine aspects are like their signature move.

It's a consultancy firm like Sweet Baby, so it's basically the same thing.

The update was only made to appease the trans playerbase, it pretty much pissed everyone else who had their characters for 6 years (women included)

Spoiler: spoiler

They are making themselves hated. Why does trans inclusion always means hetero exclusion?

Is not even a surprise at this point.

 

[nemiroff]

 

[JayK47]

Erasing gender to appease lunatics. Disgusting. I hope it crashes and burns.

 

[Icymanipulator]

So women can’t have breasts huh?
Nobody tell my gf

 

[Pop]

GaymerX haha

Can't make this shit up

 

[TheTony316]

Is Nintendo involved in this too?

 

[tkscz]

When you are less than 1% of the population, the only way to look bigger is to make everyone else look smaller. It'll look like more people are Trans if more media is trans.

 

[Barakov]

They are making themselves hated. Why does trans inclusion always means hetero exclusion?

Because it's always about them and no one else. This is what happens when you drill the notion in that just because you exist you are special and everyone must cater to your demands.

 

[Gambit2483]

Is Nintendo involved in this too?

Nintendo primarily controls Pokémon on Nintendo hardware. This is all Niantic and Pokémon Co shenanigans. Nintendo is very much a Japanese company and has not (yet) subverted to this madness.

 

[xrnzaaas]

That's a solid attempt to kill off this game way past its prime.

But seriously, I feel sorry for people who spent money on the cosmetics only for the models to be changed.

 

[hemo memo]

I thought TPC calls the shots when it comes to anything Pokemon?

 

[hemo memo]

Nintendo published Bayonetta 3 so they clearly aren’t allergic to boobs and asses.

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.
