Change the circle shape from Pokemon GO to Ingress Prime six edges shape.
Hello everyone.
This message is also directed to the Ingress Prime team.
Their are many things I like about this game & so on....but yesterday I noticed something that reminds me of Pokemon Go.
The very first button has a circle shape which reminds me of Pokemon Go Ball & buttons. Press that button & you enter options/menu with more circle shape. Their are many circles, also on the map when looking on the captured portals.....
Ingress has six edges with triangle in the middle & it looks great, so why not update all those circle shapes into six edges shape?
This is Ingress Prime game & not Pokemon Go.
Thank you for reading this.

Why not change pokeballs to be another shape?
Balls clearly existed before pokeballs...
That´s a good questions, why dont you ask that in the Pokemon GO forum.
Your comment about the Pokemon Go forum is brilliantly though perhaps unintentionally ironic, @IPHacker. (-:
Someone else saying about the Pokémon GO forum? Look, I have one role in the Niantic forums folks!
I mention the Pokemon GO forum, but how can I know if you have a role inside Niantic forums?
It was only a joke. People post a lot of irrelevant Pokémon GO stuff on the Wayfarer forums so always nice to provide them the link to the Pokémon GO forums
Oh my god, I am LOL to ****. Let me catch my breath...... Alright, I am good now. :)
"Sorry, dont take it personally, I just couldnt resist it".
Here we go.
I am not going to provide links to other people unless it has something to do with the title of this post. I dont think it is hard to type "Pokemon GO Forum" in google.com search engine. Why some wants the Pokemon GO balls in a different shape & mention it in Ingress Prime Forum, in a post that I made & doesnt make their own post for that, is a mystery to me. I suggested circles changed to six edges inside Ingress Prime game.
I was just trying to help him to reach his goal at the right place.
You cant wish for different kind of shape on Pokemon GO balls in Ingress Prime Forum in a post that I made which was targeted to create a better identity for Ingress Prime game. That doesnt make sense.
An MMO I play uses circles for lots of things, and I'd never confuse it for Pokémon GO. I seriously doubt anyone who looks at the Ingress Prime app would confuse it for the Pokémon GO app. The shape of a few icons is hardly the be all and end all of app's identity/brand.
That´s different. You are talking about some other MMO game & Pokemon GO which is irrelevant in Ingress Prime Forum.
I am talking the identity of Ingress Prime game & Pokemon GO in Ingress Prime Forum, which is more relevant for Ingress Prime.
You did say this & I agree as I disagree .
"I seriously doubt anyone who looks at the Ingress Prime app would confuse it for the Pokémon GO app"
The disagree answer from me.
If you read the very first comment, you can see someone wants a different shape on the Pokemon GO Balls & they added the comment under my suggestion In Ingress Prime Forum. If they can confuse the forums, they can confuse the apps.
The agree answer from me.
Of course people dont confuse the apps, it was meant to bully me.
After years of exposure to programs and apps from all kinds of vendors, our minds have been trained to associate buttons and "making things happen" with objects that have a circular or rectangular shape.
Custom shaped buttons with the product logo would create visual noise and confusion. The ball in Pogo is an exception but could be seen as the "weapon" in POV games when you encounter Pokemon. There is no equivalent to "facing the enemy" like that in Ingress.
The irony in my first comment was completely lost on you.
Sounds like a waste of dev cycles. I'd rather them fix some issues/bugs/LAGG or actually finish building out some of the new features that were rolled out over the past two years that were never completed.
I'd rather the devs make the buttons 30% larger than they already are.
Square, circle, octagonal, whatever shape. It doesn't matter if you cannot repeatedly press it
