Niantic, the company behind Pokemon Go, has apologized for the issues that occurred during the most recent Regidrago Elite Raid weekend and pledged to “make it up” to trainers as quickly as possible. Pokemon Go players who were anticipating the Regidrago Elite Raids were let down as problems marred the event in numerous locations.
Trainers expressed their anger with the entire experience on social media, from the event’s introduction with widespread game problems to the developer Niantic pushing pertinent updates up until the Elite Raids launched. Now that the Regidrago Elite Raids are in disrepair, Niantic has officially apologized and announced that it will “make it up to Trainers all across the world” in some way.
On March 16, 2023, the Pokemon Go Twitter account issues an apology. “Trainers, we apologize for this weekend’s Elite Raid problems and the negative effects they had on your experience,” read the tweet. We’re working on a solution to make it up to Trainers everywhere, particularly those in the GMT +13 time zone. Please check back for updates.
The Niantic Support Twitter account apologized to players in the GMT +13 time zone throughout the event while the team worked to fix ongoing issues because certain players were severely affected by troubles during the raids.
Luckily, the event’s developer acknowledged that gamers from all around the world, not just those in a specific region, were impacted by the problems that plagued the event. While many people in the Pokemon Go community were happy to learn Niantic had plans to apologize for the way the event had turned out, some felt it was too little, too late.
“This is much too late and far too little. It has almost been a week. Your support cited players and data miners who discovered that you published an incomplete event. Instead of a TBA post, you ought to have a response right now. Do better, one trainer advised.
Some questioned if the strategies to make up for the incident would really be worthwhile. Even though I appreciate the apologies and am curious to see what you’re going to do about it, I most definitely have no intention of braving the elements once more to attempt to conduct in-person raids after the first attempt failed.
Trainers currently have no choice but to wait and see what Niantic has in store to make up for the unfortunate situation. Fans can anticipate Slowpoke Community Day and wish for the best up until that point.
