Two Pokemon Go Players Reach Level 50 Milestone After Skipping Level 49 Due To Errors

Two Pokemon Go players became among the first in the world to reach the game’s new Level 50 ceiling after benefiting from a Niantic hotfix that allowed them to skip Level 49. Popular Twitch streamers FleeceKing and Laurenlolly both reached Pokemon Go’s Level 50 milestone, with FleeceKing claiming that he was the first in the world to reach the milestone. Both players hit the ceiling cap on January 25th after Niantic automatically leveled them (and a handful of other players) up to Level 49 to resolve complaints about a glitch in the system that caused their progress on several level up requirements to reset after the first day.

If you weren’t able to tune into my Twitch stream of me hitting level 50, here’s a clip of the moment it happened! So grateful to have my mum there with me in the moment, she was just as passionate and was super happy for me. This is a moment I’ll NEVER forget! Thank you all pic.twitter.com/78vMPA5uHQ
