Pokémon Go is live on the Google Play Store

The most infuriating part of this outage is when you enter your credentials, hit "Sign In", and it just instantly takes you back to the "Google or PTC account?" page, lol
 
ar was getting weird on OG moto x so it's off, caught one without AR, now it's just showing the the pokeball but won't do anything else, I assume since it's having trouble server end...
 
Yep, most seem to be taken. I'm wondering if it shares usernames with Ingress, given some obscure variations on my name were already taken even though I download and installed this pretty much when it was available.

Wait, usernames are unique? How the fuck did I get Lucario?
 
club.pokemon.com seems to be running really poorly as well. The initial page and login is ok, but trying to do any account things is really slow.
 
Who say is bad?.. BTW looks like servers are down again.
I think a lot of people were saying "bad" because it's not a mainline Pokemon game on a phone. Which it was never going to be.

For what it is (basically geocaching but with Pokemon) it works pretty well. In the time I had with it, it was fun but I think it depends heavily on your location...really not all that dissimilar to early problems with Streetpass.

I think it'll hopefully catch on and hopefully it may even get some people to exercise more lol
 
I don't get it

This is the first time in a long time I have not getted a thing.

Square Enix Montreal have made popular mobile games based on SE properties with the word 'GO', such as Hitman GO, Lara Croft GO, and Deus Ex GO. This is them making fun of the fact Pokémon GO shares a similar name.

Yes, they are unique.

You are just lucky lol
Really - even more because this is a pokemon game after all

I was surprised my rather rare and complex japanese last name was already taken.
 
This is weird. Everytime I try to connect with the account that I created yesterday, I get the image from "server maintenance".

Then I tried to log in with a different Google e-mail, and entered without any issues - although it's a new profile, so, a new game...

Wonder if they're blocking accounts from unauthorized countries when they detect it?

No, the server has just been on and off all afternoon.
 
Still says not available in my county for the play store on android in the US. If I download the APK is there anything I'd miss out on as opposed to waiting till it officially releases here?
 
For the moment, there's no word on anything at all, including NZ and Australia where it is actually released in the stores. Niantic has literally not spoken a word about it being out.

Having the same issue, I just haven't tried a fresh account. Hope it didn't get banned just for being in a different region.
 
I can get back on now. I evolved a Pidgey and put and egg in an incubator but the screen says I'm in the middle of a bunch of water and none of the nearby landmarks are showing up. Still gotta wait.
 
Damn, wild Eggsecutor showed up, I tossed one ball at it, it broke out and escaped. Has anyone found out any more mechanics to the catching system besides the curve ball?
 
I can't log into my Trainer Club Account - says my information is invalid and that I will be locked out of logging in for 15 minutes if I keep making mistakes. I'm sure I have the right info because I logged in a couple hours ago.

Just went to the site, where I was already logged in, and tried accessing my user info. Said that I didn't have permission to access that page. Logged out and tried logging in again, got errors again saying that I entered my information incorrectly.

I go to "Forgot username", enter my e-mail address and it says they don't recognize it. This is bullshit, I have e-mails from Pkmn Trainer Club in my inbox right here.

I really don't wanna act all paranoid but this is worrying. I hope it's just something serverside and all my stuff is safe.

The Gyms location are based on the locations of the portals in Ingress, so i dont think thats going to be a problem at all, because portals in Ingress are user based and Ingress is very popular around the world even in small countries, so you have plenty of portals no matter the place.

Same thing happening here.
 
I tried to login, told me my password was wrong and 2 more attempts i would get logged out. So I tried on pokemon.com (with the browser saved credentials, that i just logged in with an hour ago successfully) now gave me an error saying 1 more attempt and ill get locked out. So I decided to try resetting my password on pokemon.com. Entered my email address and it tells me it couldn't find an account. Wtf.

edit: well i see someone else just posted about this as i was typing.

Relax guys, server issues could show the same symptoms. Don't stress until we know more or until everything has stabilized.

This is happening to me too.
