How to rename Pokemon Go character and avatar

One thing that is not well known, is that we can completely change the name of the character in Pokemon GO and change the avatar image of that character, if desired. This is a new feature added in the upgrade of Pokemon Go that perhaps a lot of users will enjoy.

If you don't like the old names and avatars, here are a few things you can change. However, consider carefully, because:

• After changing the name this time, it will be the name you have to use forever during your remaining playing.
• Changing your name and profile picture will most likely make it unnoticeable to others.

How to change the character name in Pokemon Go

Step 1: From the main interface, you touch the Pokeball icon in the middle of the screen and select Settings (gear icon) in the next step.

Step 2: A list of settings of Settings appears, scroll down to find and touch Change Nickname . A message appears, select Yes to continue.

How to change characters in Pokemon GO

Step 1: Also from the main interface, touch the icon representing the playing character (in the lower left corner of the screen). Then continue to select the three dash icon .

Step 2: Choose Customize to change the "appearance" for the character.

In this step, we do the same as when we first set up to play the game and make character options. Can change everything, from hair color, hat, clothes, backpack ... to the gender of the character.

Change is complete, select the V icon to confirm.

However, you need to pay attention:

• Changing playable characters can be done comfortably and freely.
• But changing character names can only be done once. That is, after naming the character a second time, you cannot change it.
• The name of the character when changing must still apply according to the old naming rules.

I wish you successful implementation!
