This weekend’s ticketed Pokémon Go Hoenn Tour event in Las Vegas received a poor reception – literally – due to phone network connectivity issues which left many unable to play, and which developer Niantic blamed on unexpected overcrowding.
Reports of problems at the event surfaced early on Saturday, local time, as the in-person gathering kicked off. Tickets sold out last month, with some 50,000 players signed up to attend.
After hours of issues, Niantic stated that “an additional 17,000 Trainers without tickets joined us at the park”, causing the connectivity issues in the area. “This led to Trainers disconnecting from raids, being unable to log in, and other issues with gameplay,” the developer admitted.
