But one new update should be very exciting: "Pokémon GO" players can now update their avatars.

If you're not familiar, to use the "Pokémon GO" app, users must first pick out an avatar in the game and choose between a variety of hair styles, eye colors, and uniforms that they like the best. Some users, however, quickly had buyers remorse with the looks they chose. Sadly, their avatar in the game was set in stone.
