Niantic CEO John Hanke needs to go. What a huge epic fail this was. It has damaged the Pokemon brand massively. I feel so sorry for all those people, some who spent thousands of dollars and came from overseas to go to that event and couldnt even catch one pokemon.
Hanke should have been fired about 10 months ago when he flat out said "the community has no idea what they want, I know what they want, and they will play according to my vision" John, all we wanted then is the same we want now. A FU**ING GAME THAT WORKS AS ADVERTISED. Seriously, after over $1BILLION in revenue, this is what they come up with? Pokemon Company needs too send over some Yakuza enforcers and clean house.
First, John Hanke FOUNDED Niantic. So the only way for him to be "fired" is for him to step down himself. Second, Pokemon GO is developed by Niantic, if TPC wants to switch to another developer, be ready to see a different game.
Just play real Pokemon and you will never have to deal with bullshit like this, Besides, real Pokemon games have a story, and strategic battles, that's what makes Pokemon exciting!
Pokemon go is for the newbie pokemon fans and the weebs that live for it. I bet all these cunts never even played when pokemon was legit and not raped by marketing back in the gameboy days, never played pokemon go because its an insult to what i once loved
Minxology I played each pokemon gen, competitive too for 3 years. Theres nothing wrong with pokemon go, its a cool spin-off in my opinion. Also most pokemon go players that still play played original pokemon too.. it was just the newbies when pokemon go was new
oh god it gets so painful after 4 minutes, the stage ppl just ignoring the chanting and doing a piss poor job at it. Niantic needs to either hire more people, find a new CEO or look towards Nintendo for extra help. I'm honestly wondering if having Nintendo run the app completely would make a difference.
I don't think Nintendo/Game Freak could help them much in the smartphone field if they wanted to. In fact, they partnered with DeNA and other 3rd party smartphone companies just to help them push their brands to the huge audience.
They've paid an entry fee, had too line up for ages and some may have pay loads of money to get to their and they can't even play the game. I understand their frustration.
Still, no reason to blame the poor people on stage trying to do their job or throw water bottles at them OR chair rudely when anyone on stage tries to talk. :/
A lot of the Server issues were not Niantics fault they told many service providers such as AT&T and Verizon that there would be thousands of people there and asked them if they could handle it. Many of the providers said that they would be fine, but just in case Niantic asked them to provide "mini cell towers" to try and make sure the game was running smoothly and everyone could play. Most of the providers again said that they would be fine and therefore did not provide anything. Don't blame Niantic for the server issues blame the Service providers.
how did they ignore the chants, especially the ‘we can’t play’ (which should be a meme) chant? also, considering how the one this year started out, i’m guessing there won’t be another PoGo Fest.
maybe he should tell everyone what he did with the money people donated to him for the japan lapras event which was meant to be spent all of it there. I mean, he bought a new car 2 weeks after his arrival back to the US.
+Chris M nick used to be good back when he was small. And I hate how he tries to justify using clickbait saying it's a troll/parody of Ali J or whatever.
you know, when you think about it, the people outside the fest who wanted to go but couldn't totally got screwed over. They didn't get any of the special Pokemon, didn't get any of the $100 poke coins and don't get the legendaries yet. If they wanted to go like me, but the tickets where sold out and too expensive, you found. joy in the fact that you could help the people in the fest and interact with them. For me, not having that ability, coupled with the poor communication was just horrible. Like if you agree and would like to be rewarded in some way.
Actuly niantic made the raidise of the feast bigger. About half way through the feast, so even if you where out side the fest grounds u could still get the feast mons including the legendary. That made even more people mad.
At this point, I would say Niantic is just as bad, or even worse than EA. They ignore the most obvious things that a game needs, they won't listen to their fans unless it's a mob screaming at then in person, and their big game, Pokemon Go, feels like a tech demo for something greater, and has so much potential, but is just shit on. I'd list more things, but a Pokemon Go update dropped, I gotta go see the patch notes to see if they have any minor text fix patches.
The only smart thing Niantic did was sponsor trainer tips & mystic7 before the S-storm happened. Were definitely gonna get fluffed up personal accounts of the event from them..
What a shitshow this was... I was there and wanted to kill my self from how depressing it was... Niantic you never cease to surprise me with your lack of preparation. And go fest 2018 will be even worse I reckon
Ok I feel sorry for these people they have to smile at the audience while there booing at them and yelling them to fix the game and all the other things
you forgot about the nicknames that the one kid (who was shown gym battling and then his game crashed) had on some of his pokemon xdd. they were there for a second, when he was choosing what pokemon he would use in battle.
Citizen: whooohooo Pokemon go! Look evevee! Me: do i look like i gave a fuck? Tell me that... (Thug life) Woman: whats that u using? Me: game boy color and advence
I wanted this to be good so bad but I can never go to another event they do.....EVER I don't care how much better it's gotten was the worst event I ever went to
I'm happy I didnt hear about this Pokemon go fest until July 20th or else I might have gone on Vacation there instead. It would have been terrible for me and my mother
Crazy how the game had such a good comeback after this. Let’s hope for the best this year, although I get the feeling that some people just want to see Niantic fail in the comments here 😂
I keep telling them. The game sucks and isn't the true pokemon live game we deserve. Keep supporting this crap and it is all you get. Get some devs that can actually make a pokemon game before making a global mmo for it how bout that?
RykoDimSim It's kinda the Pokemon Company's fault for outsourcing the game and not giving it a lot of oversight but Niantic has no idea how to handle the size of audience pokemon brings their first game; Ingress can't compare in size to Pokemon and its shown clearly here they cant handle it
It's also dumb that they go with a game style that has so much server output. Like Tapping and swiping while people are in public walking? If they just went with turn based pokemon it would have been so much better
Well if u didnt spend much money on getting to go fest, atleast u got like 15000 pokecoins or something like that, thats actually really cool xD ..maybe even got an unown.. (btw who cares about legendarys at go fest, u can just catch them elsewhere lol) But yeah go fest was a huge mess haha Some people probably spent like 500$ to even get there(including place to sleep and eat and so on) And only thing they got was 100$ pokecoins for alot more money and alot of stress xD Events like this probably wont come anymore sadly

August Elliott I
August Elliott 4:50 the best team instinct they can find
4:50 I'm pretty sure I heard booing SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING IDIOTS
And the water bottle throwing was completely unessecary
Deadly Razor they were pissed
August Elliott 3:14 is Cyber Satan
Bless that ponytailed woman on stage. She has a level of optimism at the face of pressure and negativity I wish I had.
She better have earned extra for having to put up with that
*chews popcorn* this was pretty good huh...
I laughed my ass off! Their game harrased so many people, they deserved this!
Lint Don't choke.
0:17 If you want us to catch water types, then freakin' catch the water bottle
Matt Mac Master yeah that waS so perfect XD 😂
Matt Mac Master yea because this was all her fault??? Dafuq
Part of me feels bad for Niantic. Part of me saw this coming. Part of me is laughing at Niantic crumbling into dust. 😂
I love "WE CAN'T PLAY" at 4:12.
Niantic CEO John Hanke needs to go. What a huge epic fail this was. It has damaged the Pokemon brand massively. I feel so sorry for all those people, some who spent thousands of dollars and came from overseas to go to that event and couldnt even catch one pokemon.

John, all we wanted then is the same we want now. A FU**ING GAME THAT WORKS AS ADVERTISED.
Seriously, after over $1BILLION in revenue, this is what they come up with? Pokemon Company needs too send over some Yakuza enforcers and clean house.
yes! Pokemon needs to take over ..fuck Niantic.
Kev's Collectibles they could use some help from companies that know what they're doing like Supercell
Well said man!
First, John Hanke FOUNDED Niantic. So the only way for him to be "fired" is for him to step down himself.
Second, Pokemon GO is developed by Niantic, if TPC wants to switch to another developer, be ready to see a different game.
0:15 i think she used Double Team before getting up on stage
Just play real Pokemon and you will never have to deal with bullshit like this, Besides, real Pokemon games have a story, and strategic battles, that's what makes Pokemon exciting!
Mariosion Productions yeah but Pokémon Go is about the exploration aspect
Mariosion Productions well u cant compare pokemon go with real pokemon.. its both fun In a different way
Real Pokemon gets boring after the story aspect, no point.
Pokemon go is for the newbie pokemon fans and the weebs that live for it. I bet all these cunts never even played when pokemon was legit and not raped by marketing back in the gameboy days, never played pokemon go because its an insult to what i once loved
Minxology I played each pokemon gen, competitive too for 3 years. Theres nothing wrong with pokemon go, its a cool spin-off in my opinion. Also most pokemon go players that still play played original pokemon too.. it was just the newbies when pokemon go was new
5:10 When you realise you're dead inside.
Let's give it up for Mike tho
(aka the dude in the pokemon go fest shirt and announced the apology and refunds)
I feel kinda bad for Rachel... It's not her fault, but well, dealing with it it's part of the job, I guess. She took it like a champ.
oh god it gets so painful after 4 minutes, the stage ppl just ignoring the chanting and doing a piss poor job at it. Niantic needs to either hire more people, find a new CEO or look towards Nintendo for extra help. I'm honestly wondering if having Nintendo run the app completely would make a difference.
Spacecrusade john thanks didnt do much wrong (himself)
getting a new ceo would b dumb.
Shit just went really bad xD
I don't think Nintendo/Game Freak could help them much in the smartphone field if they wanted to. In fact, they partnered with DeNA and other 3rd party smartphone companies just to help them push their brands to the huge audience.
You know the event is bad when "Trainer Tips" can't even save it
2:04 YOU LIED!!!
oh god😂
They've paid an entry fee, had too line up for ages and some may have pay loads of money to get to their and they can't even play the game. I understand their frustration.
LiteHawk hilarious

Wow that was hard to watch. I still play this game a lot but Go Fest was an embarrassment.
Xerxes Break agreed
5:18 First time the crowd cheered and meant it.
0:58 Holy crap! Is that the Duel Links commercial guy?!
Kanasan yep
Well, since nobody could catch anything, that means there were no monsters left.
August Elliott I hope everyone in the world get cancer and die
Yea that's Mystic7
Mister Bad Guy
You, sir, are a genius xDDD!
how did they ignore the chants, especially the ‘we can’t play’ (which should be a meme) chant?
also, considering how the one this year started out, i’m guessing there won’t be another PoGo Fest.
The look of sheer embarrassment on Britannia face was priceless.
3:44 Sean Spicer's new job
That's why I play real games on the 3DS, not shit.
water battle i choose you 0:16
Mike: (Actually trying to fix problems and help ease tensions)
John Hanke: "Let's give it up for Sun everybody!!"
5:13 that moment when, you realize your a tool.
I was expecting it to be the whole stream
Nathan Smo what's the fun in watching a still screen for 90% of the time ;)
August Elliott true tho
i blame Team Rocket
I felt some joy from the "stream" when Nick showed up for a bit. Good guy.
Nick is fake. Watch him praise the shit event when he reviews it.
CbbTyrone Are you talking about his most recent video?
maybe he should tell everyone what he did with the money people donated to him for the japan lapras event which was meant to be spent all of it there. I mean, he bought a new car 2 weeks after his arrival back to the US.
+Chris M nick used to be good back when he was small. And I hate how he tries to justify using clickbait saying it's a troll/parody of Ali J or whatever.
Morgan Meme Machine lol u guys dont know, he posted a sincere video
Niantic does not deserve to run pokemon.
See Mystik7. I cringed my self so hard when i saw is video

4:29 ''WE CAN'T PLAY!'' Aww, wow, this looks like an ''AWESOME'' video here...'' What?! XD
Wow!Pokemon battle almost happened in real life on that CEO lol
At this point, I would say Niantic is just as bad, or even worse than EA.

Wow, even when the whole crowd is chanting “we can’t play” they just act like nobody’s there.
What a shitshow this was... I was there and wanted to kill my self from how depressing it was... Niantic you never cease to surprise me with your lack of preparation. And go fest 2018 will be even worse I reckon
4:50 holy fuck what happened? It's like you could see her morale deteriorate into dust within a small timeframe.
i love laggy nick's voice!
Ok I feel sorry for these people they have to smile at the audience while there booing at them and yelling them to fix the game and all the other things
Fix the servers
4:50 Was fucking hilarious
Finally! A cringe comp that we can all enjoy!
5:10 The moment she realized that Starbucks was a better option after all....
CEO managed to do more harm than good to his own brand. That guy deserves getting a lower paycheck.
That bottle 😂
Jonathan Norton from California is suing Niantic for lost travel expenses.
you forgot about the nicknames that the one kid (who was shown gym battling and then his game crashed) had on some of his pokemon xdd. they were there for a second, when he was choosing what pokemon he would use in battle.
This came out fast....
Let’s get ready to go again boys
Dashcon 2017.
I was laughing my ass off when i was watching their stream.
They threw a water bottle at the girl thats rude dude!
WOODY: Your are just a toy!
Buzz:.... 5:12
they need to fix the crashing
Citizen: whooohooo Pokemon go! Look evevee!
Me: do i look like i gave a fuck? Tell me that...
(Thug life)
Woman: whats that u using?
Me: game boy color and advence
I was watch live when the game crashed, hilarious
Crowbcat will rise once again and make this event memorable
I wanted this to be good so bad but I can never go to another event they do.....EVER I don't care how much better it's gotten was the worst event I ever went to
The entire thing was a fail.
Yoooo someone almost nailed her with a water bottle
E3 is quaking
I'm happy I didnt hear about this Pokemon go fest until July 20th or else I might have gone on Vacation there instead. It would have been terrible for me and my mother
Thumbs up if you're using your GO plus while watching this video.
How about allow mapping app?
Also: until they get rid of botting players, it's a waste of time.
😂😂 oh man, I live right down town Chicago, I shoulda been to this!
Who yeeted that water bottle
Glad I did not waste my money on plane tickets and went to San Francisco instead.
Hooboy that was a doozy
3:00 just leave and go back in the game
Crazy how the game had such a good comeback after this. Let’s hope for the best this year, although I get the feeling that some people just want to see Niantic fail in the comments here 😂
I keep telling them. The game sucks and isn't the true pokemon live game we deserve. Keep supporting this crap and it is all you get. Get some devs that can actually make a pokemon game before making a global mmo for it how bout that?

when a game has 4million revenue the first day of launch there I sno excuse for any server problems
Goodnight. Did anything go right here? This is just awful.
That was brutal
I am suffering on the inside
this is painful to watch
Poor Rachel
0:17

Well if u didnt spend much money on getting to go fest, atleast u got like 15000 pokecoins or something like that, thats actually really cool xD ..maybe even got an unown.. (btw who cares about legendarys at go fest, u can just catch them elsewhere lol)
But yeah go fest was a huge mess haha
Some people probably spent like 500$ to even get there(including place to sleep and eat and so on)
And only thing they got was 100$ pokecoins for alot more money and alot of stress xD
Events like this probably wont come anymore sadly
What are "Rape Battles"?
Chester UK event was the same, waste of fkn money, thousands there mostly unable to log in, what a fk up!
Beer Monster that's not true I was there and it was fantastic
It was fantastic social wise but actually playing was near impossible once the crowds built up (o2)
Anyone here from Chaddy boy?
Who’s that?
@@aug2873 Chadtronic
I guess this is what people get for supporting a shitty game
DAM SO SAD
WWE CHANTS
Wow just what I need another video of Pokemon NO fest 😒
