Pokemon Duel Maintenance and Connection Issues

The Pokemon Duel mobile game is very popular indeed when gameplay runs smoothly, but when there is maintenance or the servers go down unexpectedly this is when there is a cause for concern. One of the main issues is when the game server status for players shows offline as well as the ‘text not found error’ leaving players trying to restart again.

  • Crystal

    I have tried to start this game a number of times today and still keeps crashing on me, are the servers having problems yet again?

  • Mike

    I keep having connection issues with this new game, its real good fun when running but so frustrating when down.

  • Kielsa

    My phone yesterday was updated to Android 3.0.0 and now the game will not even load up for me. All I keep getting is text not found error message on my screen, then all of a sudden it just takes me back to the title screen again.

  • Cody Evans

    I can never find any matches and when I do I get sent back to the title screen because of “errors”. And not to mention it has to load with everything you do. I can never play it without it sending me back to the title screen. But when I can play its really fun. I just wish all of these bugs would’ve been worked out before lunch.

  • Captain Boy

  • Maartje

    I just downloaded and I can’t get past the first tutorial game. “unexpected error, returning to home screen” Or something.
    When you reload it starts you back at the beginning of the tutorial. Kind of sad.

  • Snivy641

    For some reason, once start up, it would say “unexpected error, returning to title screen” before the intro cutscene even starts. Then it would have a blackout and reload, then it would loop like that. This is the first time this has happened and i am an avid player of this game

  • Cellran

    I am completely unable to get into the game. Everytime I try loading it I get a connection failed error, please wait a while and try again. The only times I am able to actually connect is if I re-install the entire game, which of course messes up my progress. I know it is not my internet as it is plenty fast.

  • Leonardo

    Is the game down cuz whenever i get the duel set i awould get the “unexpected error going back to title screen”. Pls tell me.

  • Jack

    same occurred to me. Back to my 3DS for now i guess.

  • W

  • Victoria Ann Rikard

  • sadpokemonplayer

    So I’m glad I’m not the only one to have an unexpected error as soon as they get the duel set. Why is this happening? Will they fix this problem??

  • Matt

  • Sarthak Gupta

    Same happened to me too, just uninstall and reinstall the game it should work – it worked for me and my friends

  • Sarthak Gupta

    Uninstall and reinstall

  • Mr Smith

    Will this delete your data/progress?

  • Sarthak Gupta

    I don’t know, if you’ve just started and you don’t have any progress so not a problem – but you can go to transfer device to get a user ID and password to save your progress
