Fans gathered to express their sorrow after it was revealed that The Silph Road website would be going down due to the termination of its cooperation with Niantic. The Silph Road, a fan-run Pokemon Go website, and Niantic’s year-long cooperation came to an end on May 12, 2023, according to a statement from Niantic.
During this collaboration, Niantic sponsored The Silph Road, helping the business maintain its financial stability. Since the partnership is over, the website has said it would go down before or around August 1, 2023. As The Silph Road starts to set, members of the Pokemon Go community have now gathered to mourn the website’s closure, offering support and expressing their sorrow.
Fans of Pokemon Go lament The Silph Road
Pokemon Go supporters showed their support for TheSilphRoad’s articles on its Reddit and Twitter accounts, which got a flood of traffic. On Twitter, well-known fan communities like Leek Duck and Pokemon Go Stadium praised the website for its long history of dedication.
Fans thanked the employees for their hard work over the years in nearly 1,000 comments on The Silph Road’s post on Reddit. “I struggle with what to say. Over the past seven years, The Silph Road has been an invaluable resource for many of us. It has been a wild ride. I appreciate everything. And best of luck to everyone in your future endeavors,” one supporter remarked.
Others lamented the fact that the Pokemon Go community as a whole would surely suffer greatly from The Silph Road’s closure. According to another trainer, the Silph Road was THE resource for discovering a local community for someone who needed help finding someone in their area using your Local Communities map. Many people worldwide, not just those who still play the game, will sincerely miss you. It’s difficult to predict how the Pokemon Go community will develop after The Silph Road closes, but it’s evident that many players will be disappointed by this.
