Whether you choose a model based on your gender identity or just looks, it is easier than ever to swap options around now.\u00a0 Following a big April update, Niantic revamped Pok\u00e9mon Go\u2019s entire avatar setup with new visuals and customization options. This controversial change made many players upset about how the new trainer models look, but the new options to make your trainer look more like you are a welcome change\u2014even if their implementation is messy. And, while the setting has been altered, you can still technically swap your gender at any time in Pok\u00e9mon Go.\u00a0 Pok\u00e9mon Go: How to change your gender and body type With the \u201cRediscover\u201d update, Niantic altered several elements of Pok\u00e9mon Go\u2019s player avatars\u2014including the customization options available. If you want to change your gender now, you need to head to the Style menu and choose the \u201cBody\u201d that fits your preference.\u00a0 Instead of having default character models, all Pok\u00e9mon Go players can swap their avatar\u2019s body type at any time. There are no labels or other descriptors, likely as a small way to be more inclusive to all gender identities, and because every part of these updated trainer models are interchangeable when compared to the original character designs. Here is a step-by-step guide to swapping your body options in Pok\u00e9mon Go.\u00a0 Open your Trainer Profile by clicking the circular icon in the bottom left of the screen. Navigate to the updated Style section and then click Appearance.\u00a0 In the Appearance tab, click on Body and then choose the default look that you prefer.\u00a0 If none of the options are to your liking, scroll all the way down and click Custom to create your own template using a few sliders.\u00a0 Since this new system has replaced the older avatar models, you have access to all \u201cgender\u201d options in these settings and can also wear any clothing you want\u2014avatar items now automatically shift to fit your character\u2019s body, though it can be a bit buggy.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Pokemon-Go-Avatar-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1203005"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1203005"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1203005\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1203053,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1203005\/revisions\/1203053"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1203042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1203005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1203005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1203005"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1203005"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1203005"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1203005"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1203005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Whether you choose a model based on your gender identity or just looks, it is easier than ever to swap options around now.\u00a0 Following a big April update, Niantic revamped Pok\u00e9mon Go\u2019s entire avatar setup with new visuals and customization options.

And, while the setting has been altered, you can still technically swap your gender at any time in Pok\u00e9mon Go.\u00a0 Pok\u00e9mon Go: How to change your gender and body type With the \u201cRediscover\u201d update, Niantic altered several elements of Pok\u00e9mon Go\u2019s player avatars\u2014including the customization options available. If you want to change your gender now, you need to head to the Style menu and choose the \u201cBody\u201d that fits your preference.\u00a0 Instead of having default character models, all Pok\u00e9mon Go players can swap their avatar\u2019s body type at any time. There are no labels or other descriptors, likely as a small way to be more inclusive to all gender identities, and because every part of these updated trainer models are interchangeable when compared to the original character designs. Here is a step-by-step guide to swapping your body options in Pok\u00e9mon Go.\u00a0 Open your Trainer Profile by clicking the circular icon in the bottom left of the screen. Navigate to the updated Style section and then click Appearance.\u00a0 In the Appearance tab, click on Body and then choose the default look that you prefer.\u00a0 If none of the options are to your liking, scroll all the way down and click Custom to create your own template using a few sliders.\u00a0 Since this new system has replaced the older avatar models, you have access to all \u201cgender\u201d options in these settings and can also wear any clothing you want\u2014avatar items now automatically shift to fit your character\u2019s body, though it can be a bit buggy.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Pokemon-Go-Avatar-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1203005"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1203005"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1203005\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1203053,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1203005\/revisions\/1203053"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1203042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1203005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1203005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1203005"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1203005"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1203005"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1203005"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1203005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
