Heya Goers, I've had some weird thing happen a few times while playing and I wondered if it happened to any other players. It happens when I am catching a pokemon and for some reason when I throw a pokeball it shoots far off into the distance, like being fired from a cannon. Has this happened to anyone else? I hate when it does... -_-;

Also, a shot of my strongest pokemon

 

It has happened to me a few times.  I think the game is just lagging and reads your touch input as vastly accelerated when it happens.  That's speculation on my part of course.

 

I could see that happening, since this thing has to load sometimes while playing. Maybe it could be that I'm on my bike while catching pokemon sometimes, somehow taking the added speed of my bike and accelerating my throw.

Well, at least it's just not me that it happens to.
