Published by the same studio that brought us Ingress, Pokemon Go is an Augmented Reality based game developed in collaboration with Nintendo and The Pokemon Company. The game encourages players to go out in the real world to find new Pokemons.
Launched with just 150 Pokemons, the game receives frequent updates and now features more than 700 Pokemons. Pokemon Go also gives players the option to customize trainers and equip various outfits.
With that being said, Pokemon Go players are now reporting (1,2,3,4,5) an issue where bald spots are visible when female trainers equip a Deino Hat. If you are unaware, the Deino Hat is the last prize in the Stardust challenge.
While this is not game-breaking, the visual bug is freaking out some players and making it weird for players who have a female trainer. Players add that the bald spot is visible even when the trainer has black hair.
Some said they tried removing the hat and re-equipping the Deino Hat but it looks that does not make any difference. You can see in the image below how it looks like when worn by female trainers.
It is interesting to note that the Deino Hat looks completely fine in the previews but glitches when worn only by female avatars. Thankfully, Niantic Support has acknowledged the issue and said that they are looking into it.
However, they did not share any ETA on when it will be fixed. But as always, we will be keeping an eye out on the matter and update this space as and when required. In the meantime, you can check out our dedicated Pokemon Go bug tracker.
