Pokémon Go players are facing yet another issue that is affecting the path selection for certain Special Research options in the upcoming Go Tour: Sinnoh event. This problem has left players concerned about the smooth running of the event.
Niantic has split the Go Tour: Sinnoh event into an in-person and global section, similar to previous iterations. The physical portion of the event, Go Tour: Sinnoh – Los Angeles, is scheduled to begin on Feb. 17 and has already sold out. Thousands of players from around the world will gather at the Rose Bowl Stadium for a weekend of Pokémon Go fun, provided that the issues are resolved.
Niantic has acknowledged the problems faced during the Go Tour: Hoenn event in 2023, including connectivity issues and features not working properly. The company has assured players that it has learned from these past failures and aims to provide a great experience for all trainers during Go Tour: Sinnoh – L.A. However, the current Special Research issue is causing doubts among players.
Niantic has identified a problem where the path selection for Special Research may not proceed smoothly. This issue arose when the Go Tour 2024: Road to Sinnoh Special Research went live, prompting players to choose between Diamond or Pearl version paths for the event. Some players have reported being unable to select the Pearl version. Since this is a significant part of Go Tour: Sinnoh's content, it is concerning that it is not functioning properly at the start of the event.
As Go Tour: Sinnoh – L.A. does not officially begin until Feb. 17, there is a possibility that Niantic will be able to fix the pathing problem before it becomes a major issue. However, this ongoing trend of bugged content affecting events has raised concerns among players, with some expressing worries about the upcoming L.A. event being plagued by bugs.
Pokémon Go players are currently facing a path selection issue for the Go Tour: Sinnoh event. Niantic has acknowledged the problem and is working to resolve it before the event begins. However, this issue, along with previous instances of bugged content, has left players concerned about the smooth running of the event. It remains to be seen whether Niantic can address these concerns and provide a great experience for all trainers during Go Tour: Sinnoh – L.A.
