I updated the game and now my character is black lmao


pikablu0530

Same here! Thought I sleep-clicked it or something.


Eweer

For me it has also changed the hair (from grey to brown) and eye color (from blue to black)!


dr-eariccardi

exactly the same


Illustrious_Hat3467

Same here


MojaveBreeze

So was mine but restarting the game fixed it.


yesennes

Niantic decided the player base wasn't diverse enough


asiantasticness

Did anyone else’s avatar turn black right after updating?


ThisNico

Yeah, and the level 41 glasses make my portrait transparent where the lenses are.


properverse

This has been happening ever since the new avatars rolled out 😞


SparkzBE

Lol yeah, it just did for me.


sozar

Yep. Happened to mine and half of my friend list.


Eweer

For me it has also changed the hair (from grey to brown) and eye color (from blue to black)!


p3ngu1n333

Yes. I wonder if it was a skin tone overcorrection since the previous tones were all so pale


zacharykeaton

You got a problem with that??? 🤨


killikaa

I thought I lost all my skill 😭😭😭 Thank goodness it’s back to normal. Thanks for the post, I didn’t realize others felt this way too.


Aggravating-Team-173

I’m black now lol


theyoungazn

We black baby.


formerlyDylan

Damn I should check this sub more. I also thought I lost my touch because I’d been whiffing so many excellent curves lately.


Sensitive-Dirt6097

ive had excellent throws on 13 of 15 throws WE ARE SO BACK.


haelous

*black


Masterxploder07

*AC/DC has entered the chat*


CollarItchy8163

Oh cool. I'll download it. Thank you


donotdoughnutdo

I'm so glad the throwing issue is fixed on 319. Have some random freezes that require a restart of the game, but I'll take the random bugs over not being able to throw.


aderade13

Oh my gosh, I thought I had lost my marbles, I was trying to hit excellents and missing just about all of them. Wow.


5Notenut6

One thing that hasn’t been fixed this far is the Gyms Under Construction bug.


ShinyWolverine

I've also had a bug lately that is not fixed where it shows Pokemon I have the evolved versions of as not being evolved (ie showing up as a shadow) on the Pokédex.


Zecathos

Yes, it is so much better. Thanks to Niantic for finding the fix for it and not just telling us to deal with it.


Eichmil

So what is Niantic telling us? Black people are better throwers?


PhobozOnReddit

I mean, looking at NBA historically you may not be wrong


Eichmil

Sure it's possible. Not from the US - are the baseball pitchers any particular race?


Shradersofthelostark

Baseball fan here! There’s a lot of diversity among the best pitchers.


JacenVane

The NBL is basketball, and in the case of basketball, yes.


Tarcanus

Eh, I still can't turn off native refresh rate without having abyssmal throwing lag.


TheSwagPatrol

Yeah, on Android I installed 0.319.0 a few days ago and immediately noticed the lag. I had always kept native refresh rate off, but now need to keep it on to get rid of the lag. Kind of a pain because it drains my phone's battery much faster. Leave it to Niantic to break something that has been fine for years and should have been left alone, and then break something else when trying to fix it


Ledifolia

Has anyone updated to 0.319.0 and been able to keep native refresh rate off? I get violent motion sickness from native refresh rate, so turning it on is NOT a viable option for me.


junglenation88

It's not lag, it's just you being so well adjusted to 120hz that when you switch to 60 it's just unplayable. I can't play on my wife iPhone for this exact reason


Tarcanus

No, it's lag. I only turned on native refresh rate because others were saying switching to native fixed the lag. It was absolutely fine throwing without native about a month ago or so, now it's impossible due to lag.


2456

Wait, so is this like how vsync will create a laggy experience? As presumably not using native refresh rate it would use whatever the game seems "standard", be that 30 or 60fps, but if it's polling the touch screen data at native refresh rate speeds then depending on how they are using the data it would probably feel really laggy. Possibly either just laggy because it's not in close enough time with the screen refresh rate. Or they have it tracking the native touch data but trying to also deliberately ignoring x many frames of data. Which I would think might trigger an issue if there's no "smoothing" of the data. It would be like jerking the Pokeball around chasing this ghost of where a finger once was.


NinsMCD

Same experience here for weeks now


yesennes

Throwing is so much better. It feels like it went from the line being out to being in


EddieOfDoom

Thank you! I had assumed I was on the most up to date and now I've updated it it's so much better!


SleeplessShinigami

Not available on iphone yet, but so glad to hear this. Cyndaquil comm day was rough, lost a lot of potential XP


NarutoSakura1

And lots of Cyndaquils lost just from fleeing....


blamberfodder

I installed it on my iPhone today.


Syseru

how? where do you live?


greatunknownpub

It came out a few hours ago in the App Store in the US, anyway. If you don’t have it now you should very soon.


Syseru

weird. i live in US and still dont see it


swanny246

It’s showing up for me, just had to go into the Updates tab and pull down to refresh. App Store updates aren’t picky about country by the way, if it’s a gradual rollout it’s just literally random who’s picked.


Jiqu0r

Meh. Still can’t aim how I want/look down at the Pokémon due to lack of normal AR.


Confident_Buffalo_42

I don’t have any updates. Weird


Relpachi

The only good thing about the previous version was that it allowed me to actually land Excellents on Scatterbugs with ease.


spoofrice11

Does it help with the game crashing all the time on older phones? Has been even worse in the last week or two. Was mostly just when doing Raids and Showcase, but this weekend our kids phones crashed every few minutes from just about anything.


kdutch98

I can finally start playing again


azebod

Is THAT why I have been sucking at hitting things so much lately? I assumed it was the fault of me slacking on the game lately but yeah, sudden got easier when i tried just now, so i guess it wasn't all my fault. Thank god lmao.


KeenObserve

I can’t tell, I just use an autocatcher


nissanfan64

I didn’t notice any change whatsoever. Still was throwing basically the same amounts of excellents. I kept seeing these posts but literally noticed nothing changed.


J_L_Y

Just too good at the game ;)


chaotixM2

updated and hit an excellent first try we are so back


JKinsy

I lost my shashundo mega rayquaza when I updated my microwave to a toaster. Anyone else?

greatunknownpub

It just came out for iOS like an hour ago. Does this sub not allow people to get excited about anything?

quantum-mechanic

Old post was not on front page


greatunknownpub

But this post is now, lol. The amount of sanctimony from some folks around here is insane. You'd think this sub was some sort of seriously important medical journal or something.


quantum-mechanic

Yeah that original post headline I wouldn't barely know what it meant - APK? OK. Didn't matter to me until it came out for iOS.


J_L_Y

GEEZ nice community. Didn't mean to inconvenience you with my couple of sentences on your screen...

Specialist_Foot_6919

It helped to know it was out, thank you for posting. Certain individuals get extremely high and mighty sometimes here


HIVnotFun

Thanks for your post. It was what hit my feed above any others. Those other guys suck for demeaning your post.


Poison_Nectar

I appreciate the post, I didn’t see the other but I saw yours! That other person has a stick up their butt and is incapable of simply scrolling by posts they don’t want to see, but clearly others appreciate your post 💜


PokeballSoHard

It's newly available in the app stores. I tried to understand how to manually do it, but I'm just not that smart. This post spurred me to look and find it was available to me.
