New ban wave
A new wave of bans has started in Pokémon GO, which has raised many questions and discussions among the community. Players are being punished for obtaining Pokémon through impossible methods, and this has sparked rumors about the possible involvement of the developers themselves.
This week, many users received notifications about a 30-day suspension of their accounts. It mentions the unauthorized obtaining of Special Research and violation of game rules. Players were also warned about a possible permanent ban in case of repeated violations.
What exactly are the bans for?
Those who managed to get the pocket monsters through questionable means fell under the sanctions. Among the main reasons, the following are highlighted:
- Obtaining Pokémon from unique one-time distributions.
- Completing quests that had long been deactivated in the game.
Hackers or insiders?
Currently, the community has two main theories regarding how players managed to bypass the system. The first is that hackers have found a new vulnerability that allows obtaining inaccessible Pokémon. The second theory is much more scandalous: there are rumors that certain players are acting in collusion with someone from the development team. Some of the banned users have even openly stated their connections with the game's creators, although this might just be an attempt to cover their tracks.
No official comments regarding this situation have been received yet, but it is expected that the developers will release an official statement in the near future. In the meantime, we advise following the rules of Pokémon GO and enjoying the game fairly.
