'Pokemon Go': Is The Server Down?

(Niantic)

Earlier today, Niantic released the first first major update of Pokémon Go, and added 80 new Generation 2 Pokémon from Pokémon Gold and Silver to the popular mobile game.

Similar to Pokémon Go’s original launch last year, the game’s servers have been faulty due to volume of activity. Many players are reporting that the game will either not load or is crashing every few minutes.

This caused Niantic to address the issue via Twitter below:

We're currently seeing an incredible number of Trainers logging in. Thanks for bearing with us as we address latency issues!

The crashing has sent Twitter into a frenzy, with tons of players annoyed or perturbed at the problematic rollout of Generation 2. Check out some tweets:

Pokemon GO Gen 2 just came out and the servers are already fried. Why must they tease me like this

Uh. Is the massive influx of Pokemon Go players right now causing the game to slow down?
