Before the latest update, my Raichu also wore a red hat. But now it's white! And I haven't even applied the update. Bugs in the code I guess.

Niantic needs "minor color fixes" in the next update.

Niantic has been messing around with the code for giving Pokemon gender, and have been using Pikachu/Raichu as their test cases. Shortly after the update the other day, people noticed that some of their Pikachu/Raichu had different tails indicating they were female (so far everything has been male by default). At some point today, they all reverted back to being male, but the Raichu hat was the wrong color.

Ha, thanks for the heads up, guys! I screenshotted my Santa Raichu with the white hat for posterity, as it will probably turn red again soon.
