Pokémon GO released today, and in my haste to get started and catch some 'mons, I rushed through the character setup screen, thinking I could customise it later. However, I can't see a way to do this:

From the Main (Map) screen, clicking on the Pokéball, I can access a few options, but none to do with character customisation:

Pokeball Menu

'Settings' exists but nothing in there either:

Settings Menu

  • Clicking on my Avatar's head brings up my Stats screen, but nothing in there can be customised:

Stats Screen 1 Stats Screen 2

I can spin the 3D avatar (can't click or long press), the Gold Pikachu coin takes you to a shop, and the Journal just lists events like "Pokemon Caught" or "Received Pokeballs".

The game is linked to my Google account. Restarting the App/Phone didn't give any options on game startup either.

How can I customise my character after the initial setup? Or am I locked in?

As of version 0.31.0 you can now change your avatar's appearance by navigating to the new menu in your profile and tapping the "customize" option.

Since version 0.31, you can re-customize the avatar from the Trainer profile screen (click the right bottom menu).

  • To add, there aren't many customization options for now anyway. Guess we have to wait for a feature update. :)
