Starting over in ‘Pokémon Go’ is harder than catching a Vaporeon

delete pokemon go account is not easypokemon go Trainers: Are you sick of the game and the resulting chaos? Worried about your phone battery? Or did you run out of Poké Balls while learning the rules of the game and want to start over with a fresh batch of 50? Do you regret following your Instinct or do you see yourself more as a mystic? Maybe you really need that rookie Pikachu. Since he can’t restore his account, he’ll just have to delete it. Well, it’s not that simple.

Deleting your in-game account requires several steps, and even then it doesn’t register right away. You can’t even do it within the app itself. So let’s go through the steps.

  1. First, go to the Niantic support page and go to pokemon go page. Then click on “Support” and look for removal instructions. We simply type “delete” and click on one of the results: “How can I delete my Pokémon GO account?” Click on the “contact us” link. Or skip all that and click here.
  2. Then fill in the required fields (ie all) and check all the boxes. We’re not sure what Niantic expects us to write in the blank fields, so we’ve kept it simple. You can also attach a file, although that shouldn’t be necessary here.
  3. After clicking “Submit”, you will receive an email notifying you that your application has been received. The message also emphasizes that this is an ongoing process and you can still opt out if you change your mind.
  4. To complete the termination, you must reply to the email with the word “DELETE”. You lose everything associated with the account and will no longer be able to use your nickname. Consider all of this before answering.

We rarely see such complex cancel operations, but then again, Pokemon can be serious business.

Even after getting through all of that, you’re not done. As stated on Niantic’s website (and reiterated in the cancellation confirmation email), “account removal requests currently take several weeks to review and process.” I personally canceled my account almost two weeks ago to start over and I can still access it.

You may be wondering, “Why don’t you open a new account?” As you have probably noticed, pokemon go the servers did not handle the large influx of players as well. You can use a different email address, but it’s very likely that you’ll hit a wall in the form of an error message when creating a new Pokémon Club trainer account. We continue to run into such hurdles just starting the process, and even when we get past it, we get various messages blocking progress.

As of now, you cannot create multiple profiles in one account, so if you want to use the same Club Trainer account, you will need to do the above steps and wait. You can sign up with your Google account, but you may not want to risk it, even after Niantic and the Pokemon Company released a statement minimizing the risk to your security and data.
