Briefly: Yesterday, you couldn’t play Pokémon GO for the majority of the day, and apparently it was because of hackers.
Today, you couldn’t play Pokémon GO for the majority of the day, and that’s because Niantic finally released the game on the Canadian App and Google Play stores.
At this point, the game becomes less and less reliable with each and every new country that it releases in. While we’re obviously not surprised at all, as Pokémon GO has become a phenomenon like nothing any of us has ever seen before, we’d all love some sort of communication or insight from Niantic in regards to their plans to fix things. Today marked some of the worst server issues that I’ve experienced with the title thus far, with 9/10 thrown Pokéballs requiring a reset of the game.
In any case, we’re glad that the great white North can finally, legitimately play the game… Not that it was really stopping any of us. My recent trip to a tri-lure in Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Park had me hunting with 100+ other trainers, and if you glance at the displays of passers-by anywhere in the Vancouver area, you’d easily see Pokèmon GO running on 7/10 of those devices.
Have you been putting up with the constant servers issues since the game launched last week? What’s the rarest ‘Mon that you’ve lost thus far?
