Hey guys.
Before I start... Im a LEGIT player.. never have botted.... so why am I on this forum? because when you google for ``pokemon go failed to retrieve...`` this forum appears in the top list. So ive been reading you guys since yesterday.
like I said... I am 100% legit player. Ive been playing since the release with my 12 year old daughter. almost 7/7 after my work shift. I used to walk about 10km a day to lose weight and when pokemon go came out.. double that almost. I am level 27. On our days off we would go to Montreal (about 1:30hr) from where i live because there are TONES of pokestops there compared to 12 in the small town I live and alot more pokemons. 2 days ago.. we went to Montreal and while I was driving my daughter had my phone to catch any pokemons we would see on our way... but I kept getting that message about going to fast. Finally got to the city... and I couldnt see any pokestops or pokemons in the nearby window. Closed my app and re-opened it a couple of times and still nothing. Decided to call it quit for a couple of hours and go see a movie... got home late.. didnt open the game until next morning.. and got the message about failed to retrieve data from the server.
Im thinking that I was banned because of having the game open and going to fast? they saw that as cheating?? but worth a perm ban really??? My daughter can still play.. while i was driving her phone was charging so she would be all set with a full charged phone once in the city.
So ban... not a ban... server issues? I dont know.. but it really sucks... Every single day we went out to play and we earned all of the pokemons and levels (27 for me and 24 for her) the LEGIT way... we are still heading out for our walk... but me watching her catch pokemon and power up hers
Im gonna try to appeal... but worth it? from what I see.... hundreds of thousand of people are trying to appeal... really dont think they are reading them one by one to see if they've banned legit players by accident.
Im thinking about trying to open a new account and figure out how botting works to try and join my daughter again... like they say if you cant beat them join them... whats the use of playing legit if you get banned for driving too fast on a highway... bunch of sobes!! im so pissed.

I have an account I am testing at the moment, if it isn't banned tomorrow morning, you can have it. It should be around level 25-27.

That's awful. They seriously need to fix things like this. I've heard of several legit players getting banned. Did you know if you go in or near a best buy, your gps will freak out and port you to Mall of America then temp ban you? If not perma bans
..... so many weird bugs with gps, yet they are going all willy nilly with the ban hammer.

Got only "sign out" message now. Not even "can't get data...". What?

I think this is probably the best strategy, or to at least put a lower level Pokemon in. I intentionally only put 2K+ CP and was banned within 12 hrs

I don't agree with banning legit players, obviously. Hopefully they fix their mistake.

Well yes you can if they arent doing their jobs right and banning legit accounts. IF i even get my account back... they can be sure that I wont be putting another dime in the game. what are they gonna do with the 13,99$ pack of pokecoins I bought the night before :S

I agree that if they do not fix the mistakes of banning legit players then they are not doing their jobs and that's not OK. But I'll give it a bit to judge, if they fix it for legit players then I don't see any problem.
