Pokémon Go Tour: Sinnoh LA players bombarded with delays, gameplay issues

Pokémon Go Tour: Sinnoh is here and bringing some very appealing content to players in Los Angeles this weekend before going global at the end of the month. Unfortunately, familiar problems dragged throughout the opening day, leaving attendees feeling like Niantic wasn’t taking notes. 

Issues started early this year as delays kept players from accessing the Rose Bowl Stadium and its surrounding venue for Pokémon Go Tour: Sinnoh at the listed start time. It got so bad that Niantic posted a blog about the problem and added three hours to the opening day’s city experience as compensation, even though it wasn’t necessarily the company’s fault. This was followed by the now-annual statement where Niantic asks only ticketed players to gather near the venue, defeating the community element meant to bring all players together for the event.
