Seattle-based Pokemon GO support studio Very Very Spaceship was hit with layoffs, shortly after developing the controversial avatars for the game's Rediscover GO update. Although the Pokemon GO update aimed to improve features and visuals in the game, many players in the community were upset with the direction that was taken with the revamped avatars.
Pokemon GO’s New Biome is Showing Up in Some Unexpected Places

Pokemon GO players have been surprised to find the new beach biome showing up in places that are far from the coast and don't resemble the beach much, if at all. The odd discovery is puzzling some Pokemon GO players, and it's making catching some Pokemon more complicated than fans might initially expect.
Pokemon GO is constantly undergoing updates, for better or worse. Many updates are lauded by the community, especially if they have new Pokemon to add to one's dex and fighting team. However, these updates sometimes come with issues that create controversy in the game community, including things like the recent Rediscover Yourself avatar update. This particular update created some changes in how avatars look that fans didn't like, including some problems with purchased poses and how Buddy Pokemon behave.
Pokemon GO recently released a biome update that made it so that multiple biomes can be found and accessed in the game, based on where the player is in real life. Some Pokemon are limited to unique biomes, making it important to seek out these locations when hunting for Pokemon. However, it seems that the new beach biome is showing up in some bizarre places, like golf courses and other sports fields. Fans aren't entirely sure why these were coded in as a beach biome, with some speculating that the presence of sand was enough, though it's not clear if that's actually the case.
However, there are some elements of this new biome discovery that are disappointing players. As mentioned, some Pokemon are found in the new biomes, including the addition of Wiglett and Wugtrio on beaches. However, not all of the game's beach biomes actually contain these new Pokemon. These Pokemon are limited to places where the biome is coded as «natural,» specifically «natural=coastline» and «natural=beach.» Whether or not the new beach biomes in odd places are a mistake or not, they don't have this specification, and thus those Pokemon can't actually spawn there.
Pokemon GO remains a popular game, even if it's fallen a bit since the most exciting period of time after the game initially launched. While plenty of players are still dedicated to the game, attend Pokemon GO Fests, and participate in things like raids, the game has frustrated some of this fanbase with recent updates. The recent avatar update to the game even led to Pokemon GO being review bombed, indicating how frustrated some of its players are.
Fans continue to be upset by these changes, especially those who have reached out to Niantic without much to show for it. One player even received a warning from Pokemon GO's Niantic support team after complaining about the change to their avatar, which has led to some in the community feeling like they're not being
