I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar issue while trying to log in:
So yesterday evening (I am in Europe) I was in the middle of a match while suddenly the game crashed and as I tried to log in again I saw a notice that they were investigating "intermittent log in issues" so I was unable to log in and thought ok, once that's over I will be able to log in again normally. Except, after almost 20 hours have passed I still can't - I always just get a message saying that it was not possible to connect to the servers and that I should retry in a minute or so. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the client twice.
I just find it ironic that after a log in issue maintenance I am now unable to log in while the client has been functioning normally before ever since I installed it. (About 2 months ago.)
The worst thing is, I can't even report my issue on the official forums, since I also have a log in problem with my PTC account on the website. Every time I click on 'Log in' I get an error message from my browser saying that I am "not authorised" to open this website. (The rest of pokemon.com functions normally.) This sounds like a ban to me, except I never got a notification e-mail about being banned, and I don't see any reason why I should be, since I only created one account and have been using it to simply play the game. (No versus reward exploits, unfair trades, whatevers, etc.)
Has anyone else encountered similar log in issues before? Is there any way to fix this or can I say goodbye to the online client?
