Attractive new graphics are being introduced to Pokémon Go
Some lucky Pokémon Go players around the world were able to get an early look at a new feature, and this change is helping bring the world of Pokémon Go to life in new ways.
Although there have been many changes to Pokémon Go over the past seven-plus years, it's a testament to the game that so many remain loyal to its beginnings.
However, Niantic is still working on improvements, and one area that might be seen as outdated is the outdated encounter screens and static graphics that adorn your Pokémon in the wild if AR is turned off (like most people are).

Fans in the comments seemed to be divided on the update, with some excited but others not impressed with what they've seen so far.

Some comments are more critical, though that may be due to the way the photos are posted, as one comment says: “Yes, I'm not very impressed.” Before someone else added: “Yes, I like the different wallpapers they offer, but especially the battle screen wallpaper, just…no.”
