Pokemon GO DOWN: Server Status News as login issues hit fans WORLDWIDE

On 26 September 2017:

Pokemon Go appears to be offline, as fans struggle to connect to the popular Niantic smartphone app on both iPhone and Android phones this morning.

Not good news for anyone attempting to make the most of the Pokemon GO Equinox event that is currently underway in the game.

Pokemon GO trainers from around the world have complained this morning of being unable to connect to the game across various social media sites.

There have been countless offline reports on Down Detector, which measures outage stats for popular apps, websites and online services.

It also appears as though the problems are for the game in general and not just the Pokemon Trainer Club, which tends to experience issues with login's more often than not.

Fans are unable to load the app and are being greeted with unable to authenticate error messages when attempting to do so.

Outages appear to be particularly heavy in Europe, Japan and Malaysia.

While not as severe as the problems suffered by the game when it first launched, fans are understandably annoyed with the outage.

Niantic is yet to make an official statement on the offline reports on the Pokemon Go Twitter page or through their representatives on Reddit.

For this temporary moment,

we are grounded.
No shinny raid, rare Pokemon,

just be good and stay at home!
