Pokemon Go servers are offline, leaving fans unable to login to the popular app.
The Pokemon Go server status doesn’t make good reading for fans, who are encountering error messages when trying to login.
The problems are severe enough for Niantic to comment on Twitter.
“We’re currently investigating reports that Trainers are encountering login issues,” the tweet reads. “Thanks for your patience.”
And according to the Niantic support page, the problems aren’t just limited to Pokemon Go, as Ingress also loses connectivity.
“We’re currently investigating reports that Ingress Agents and Pokemon Trainers are encountering login issues.,” a separate tweet reads.
The problems appear just as the Valentine’s event comes to an end.
As part of the event, Pokemon Go Trainers have a better chance of catching Luvdiscs, which will award triple Stardust. There’s even a brand new Shiny Luvdisc for fans to discover.
Hopefully Niantic will extend the event and give players another day to capture a Shiny Luvdisc.
Stay tuned for more information…
The news comes as Niantic adds Team Rocket costumes to the game.
Trainers can dress their in-game avatars up like original Pokemon villains Team Rocket.
This includes Team Rainbow Rocket from Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
“Give your avatar a bad new look!” reads a Niantic news post. “Purchase full outfits honouring the original villains of Pokemon, as well as Team Rainbow Rocket from Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon.”
Unfortunately, however, the outfits will cost a lot of in-game coins.
Team Rocket hats cost 100 coins each, tops are 400 coins a piece, gloves are 50 coins, trousers are 400 coins, skirts are 100 coins, belts cost 100 coins and boots are 200 coins.
Niantic has also announced plans to host a new event later this month.
The Pokemon Go Lantern Festival will take place in Taiwan from February 26 to March 3.
