The State of the PokeGo Trainer

[inkstone]

Hello trainers!

It looks like the game has received a minor update, mostly addressing Korean language support. Yes, that's right. PokeGo has officially launched in South Korea! Welcome!

We are also expecting the next nest migration to happen later this week. Be on the lookout!

And since it's been a while, I'd like to have a free chat in the comments. How is your PokeGo playing going, trainers? Noticed any interesting new trends?

The loading time is killing me! It takes so long for the game to launch that half the time, I think servers are down.

Same! And the thing where it lowers the volume on whatever I'm listening to is driving me batty! I can't find a workaround except pausing music or manually adjusting the volume on podcasts.

Agree on both counts, it takes forever to load and then it pauses whatever audio I'm playing, even though I've got the sound off in Pokemon. I don't know what kind of phone you have but I have an android and I've found that if I pull down the status/notifications/whatever it's called from the top after Pokemon has loaded I can press play again and then hit clear and it will go back to Pokemon and the audio keeps playing. But it's really annoying to have to do that every single time.

I'm on an iPhone, and I can do something similar, but as you say, it's annoying.

I have an android and this is what I do too. I guess I've gotten used to it because it's always been that way for me and not a new bug. SIGH.
