  • IgorVargas22 igor vargas (@IgorVargas22) reported from São Sebastião, São Paulo

    hello, I'm having problems accessing my account for 3 days from @PokemonGoApp help me @NianticHelp

  • SAHuffman1987 ThisistheSteve 💙💛 (@SAHuffman1987) reported

    @teewhyeee @corpusbonds @PokemonGoApp I'm not saying it did, though if you wanted to make the argument, you would say that it encouraged players to stay in and not move rather than playing the game. I'm saying that using that as a crutch to avoid actually addressing accessibility issues is not beneficial.

  • teewhyeee tye (@teewhyeee) reported

    @chnkymnky523 @PokemonGoApp no lmao imma login because i want this shiny

  • GladionNOMERCY Gladion (@GladionNOMERCY) reported

  • DragonSage2k7 The Sage of Dragons (@DragonSage2k7) reported

    @PokemonGoApp I'll tl;dr that for you: What you'll see during ComDay is: Broken features Connection issues Barely any spawns Reduced time to participate No QoL. There you go. Saved you a link click.

  • colin2017jones colin (@colin2017jones) reported

    @PokemonGoApp How about fix the game first walked for 3 hours yesterday my km on my buddy or my eggs didn't move

  • CoolguyTorvald TorvaldCoolguy (@CoolguyTorvald) reported

    @thegentlejag @Ana_Chronic @PokemonGoApp Its most likely not cheaters, its a connection issue. Agree it’s something that ideally should be improved, but don’t blame other players who more likely than not didn’t do anything wrong.

  • teewhyeee tye (@teewhyeee) reported

    @SAHuffman1987 @chnkymnky523 @PokemonGoApp literally lol i have issues with the game, but ppl are complaining about everything. if ppl don't like starly then simply dont play or dont buy the ticket lol

  • toqgergelz Yamamoto Gin (@toqgergelz) reported

    @NianticHelp so is the bug issue for Pokemon Go app gonna be fixed ? I've been adding friends and won't clear a task. Any help would help Thanks

  • TheRatKing2021 the rat king (@TheRatKing2021) reported

    @Antonio41869829 @ReFa @PokemonGoApp Well I see that one problem was you stayed home

  • thegentlejag Derek A McKinney (@thegentlejag) reported

    @Ana_Chronic @PokemonGoApp That happens to me all the time but I didn’t know it was done on purpose. I thought it was just one of the many things on Niantic’s ‘fix-it’ list.

  • idkman4793819 idk man (@idkman4793819) reported

    A golden raspberry on it as well. What more am I supposed to do I don’t know how you expect me to catch it. I wouldn’t even care if it ran if it didn’t put me through the most trouble just to get into the raid because of your insanely buggy and glitchy game. @PokemonGoApp

  • AnacybeleKels Kelly Kollar (@AnacybeleKels) reported

    @SAHuffman1987 @PokemonGoApp I don't notice anywhere where I said this? Obviously not every community can have one. But when you're repeatedly omitting entire states/regions, that's still a problem. No official meetups are in my state or a neighboring one.

  • jultar2001 JULTAR200 (@jultar2001) reported

    @chnkymnky523 @SAHuffman1987 @PokemonGoApp if you don't like the fact they collect data then don't play problem solved

  • teewhyeee tye (@teewhyeee) reported

    @SAHuffman1987 @corpusbonds @PokemonGoApp I don't fully agree. There are also many places where it's super cold or rainy all the time so why should we have to walk? especially on an event day. Changing the incense to 1 pokemon per minute would probably solve a lot of those issues

  • Broken_Systems Headbut blackbelt (@Broken_Systems) reported

    @TheMadIrishmen @PokemonGoApp Sounds like a you problem

  • SAHuffman1987 ThisistheSteve 💙💛 (@SAHuffman1987) reported

    @AnacybeleKels @PokemonGoApp So let me get this straight... you're complaining that Niantic has ignored your state when they've had a Safari Zone there? Yeah, you just feel entitled. That's the issue. Get some perspective.

  • SAHuffman1987 ThisistheSteve 💙💛 (@SAHuffman1987) reported

    @corpusbonds @PokemonGoApp Increased spawn rate from incense is not an accessibility solution. It would turn disability into a pay-to-play condition and I don't think anyone wants that. Accessibility is absolutely an issue but increased incense spawn rate is not the solution we need.

  • Bartking15 Bartking (@Bartking15) reported

    @Brownballer10_ @PokemonGoApp It is no problem to not reach Legend once, from what you tell me here i advice you too pause playing the game

  • Brownballer10_ Brownballer10 (@Brownballer10_) reported

    @Bartking15 @PokemonGoApp But it provides so much enjoyment when the game works. I'm beyond down horrible this season and way too far behind to take a break plus its only for 1 hour. If they fix the catastrophic bugs thats all

  • bleakaquarium Natasha Fisher (@bleakaquarium) reported

    @NianticHelp Hi I'm having huge issues with my son's Niantic Kids login for Pokemon Go. Could someone please help me?

  • SAHuffman1987 ThisistheSteve 💙💛 (@SAHuffman1987) reported

    @teewhyeee @corpusbonds @PokemonGoApp My point is that if the solution to allow disabled players to engage with the game is to make them pay for a premium item then you're turning disability into a pay-to-play condition. Which is a pretty ****** thing to do. Incense isn't the answer to the issue of accessibility.

  • SAHuffman1987 ThisistheSteve 💙💛 (@SAHuffman1987) reported

    @teewhyeee @corpusbonds @PokemonGoApp I didn't say pay to win, I said pay to play. If disabled people can only get spawns by buying premium items then it's pay to play. Using ONLY free coins you can get an average of 96 spawns per day through incense at 1/min. And the problem is this requires going out and doing gyms

  • anthony_vrooman Anthony Vrooman (@anthony_vrooman) reported

    @SAHuffman1987 @JohnMcClane12b @PokemonGoApp Dude, what is your problem lmao. The incense is meant to give spawns and is most useful when people are unable to get out and walk around. Its also a PAID item. Its completely useless and worthless right now because if you’re going out and about you dont need the incense spawns

  • karenhere9 karenhere (@karenhere9) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Exactly what we’ve been waiting for!! Please continue to put resources into sticker creation instead of R&D or QA. I’d love a weak connection and error 6 sticker. Oooooh so excited

  • vicyvictoriaa V (@vicyvictoriaa) reported

    why isnt pokemon go working 😤

  • chnkymnky523 Chris Gossett (@chnkymnky523) reported

    @SAHuffman1987 @PokemonGoApp It's not even 1 event that has had me peeved at the company as a whole. They've become predatory with their tactics all so they can collect data on us. I enjoy the game when it's fun but when it's not I call them out. They work for us not us working for them.

  • MohamedAShehada Mohamed A Shehada (@MohamedAShehada) reported
