For Marketing, Advertising & Business Email Me:
► Business Email: thetrainerclub@viralcollab.com In today’s video, I share a very frustrating and unexpected experience in Pokémon GO—I got banned. According to the message I received in-game, my account has been suspended for 7 days due to “using third-party applications or modified devices to alter my location (GPS spoofing).” The problem? I have never spoofed, used third-party software, or modified my device.
This ban came out of nowhere, and it’s incredibly disheartening, especially for someone who plays legitimately, travels for events, and supports the game as a dedicated trainer. If you’re like me and suddenly found yourself banned, confused, and looking for answers, this video is for you.
⸻
What I Cover in This Video:
• The message I received from Niantic about the ban
• My exact reaction and what I was doing before the ban occurred
• Why this is clearly a false positive detection by Niantic’s system
• Steps you can take if you receive a false ban or warning
• Why it’s so important to play safely on public Wi-Fi or with stable GPS connections
• How this experience impacted my gameplay and event participation
• Whether or not Niantic has responded to my appeal
