The team leader of Team Yellow has been missing for days. Members of the Pokémon GO team “Intuition” are searching for their team captain, who has simply not been seen since the last update.
It has been about a week since Spark was last seen. He is the leader of the Pokémon GO team “Intuition” and known for his jokes and goofy nature. But since the last update, he has simply disappeared.
Players are worried and have started a search campaign on Twitter and other social networks.
Pokémon GO update replaces Spark
The latest Pokémon GO update (0.69.0) not only changed the motivation of the gym defenders, but apparently also the motivation of the team leaders. A bug has caused Spark, the blonde leader of Team Yellow, to be replaced by Candela, who is actually responsible for Team Red.
The first reports about the absence of Spark reached social networks on July 20, after the update became available. On that day, trainers from Team Yellow noticed that in the evaluation system, their usual team leader was no longer rating the monsters, but Candela had taken over that role.
Normally, the team captains come to the fore in the evaluation system, who assess the battle points of the corresponding Pokémon of the players and give an evaluation about it.
When the team selection of Pokémon GO started last summer, fans already built sympathy for the three different team leaders. Even back then, it was noticed that Spark was seen by the community as more of a “goofball” and “fidgeter,” while Candela from Team Red and Blanche from Team Blue were portrayed much more seriously.
Missing person reports for Spark
A reliable leader is undoubtedly important for the members of any team. Therefore, the members of Team Intuition do not let themselves be stopped and start search campaigns on Twitter and Reddit. This results in creative “photoshopped” images like these:
Niantic knows about the issue and is working on a solution
The search campaign for Spark did not go unnoticed and Niantic commented on the current situation. Apparently, the bug in the evaluation system is already known. We hope that there will be a solution soon and that Spark will return.
