Pokemon Go players surprised by “hilarious” Raid bug
OLM Digital, Inc / The Pokemon CompanyPokemon Go players are always finding new bugs and game errors that need to be reported, but this player was shocked to find out he had become a living game feature.
Trainers playing Pokemon Go are familiar with game errors and bugs, and often end up reporting them to Niantic’s official game assistance site. But these Pokemon trainers have found such an hilarious bug, that they felt it needed to be showcased first.
This game glitch not only turned a player into a popular in-game feature, but also remained there for quite a long time. Several of the players have tried to figure out why this happens, but none of them are sure about the reasons behind this funny error.
This bug was originally posted by Reddit user ‘ichigodevil’ who stated: “Guess I’m a raid,” and it immediately brought forth lots of comments about their weird situation. One of them said: “That’s hilarious, did you have an egg too?”
Another of the players trying to see the glass half-filled said: “At least you’re rated 5*” While a less optimistic trainer stated: “OP had only 10 minutes left. I guess we won’t be hearing from them anymore.”
This Raid glitch was reported by several Pokemon Go fans, but none of them are sure what triggered their transformation into a mobile Raid, and all of them experienced similar symptoms: “Weird countdowns appearing over their heads,” “the feeling of impending doom,” and “people flocking around to party-up.”
At the moment of writing this article, none of the players seem to figure out why this weird bug happens, but we will keep you informed if the causes become known, or if Niantic releases an official statement about it.
