Sometimes when I am battling, if the battle has lasted more than a few turns it will glitch my POV as my own Pokemon and then say WAITING...

Whenever I move my pointer, either to run/forfeit or /endbattle, the pointer just glitches back to the center of my screen. My game doesn't crash, but it does result in me having to shut down my computer. This has happened about 15 times, and is especially annoying when battling in the trainer tower.

This is a known bug to occur when battling, and our developers are continuously working on locating the source of the issue, and finding a fix for it.

We apologies for the inconvenience it is causing you during your game, however, a way to combat the issue without having to restart your PC every time, is pressing the windows key on your keyboard, and opening another application such as google, discord, etc, that you are able to type in, then type "/endbattle". Then copy that to your clipboard (highlight and Ctrl + C), then switch back to the game, and when the courser next resets, quickly paste the clipboard (Ctrl + V) and hit enter. This should cancel the battle without making you reset your game or PC.

We believe the issue may be something to do with the scroll wheel zoom feature in battles, however, we are not 100% certain at this current moment in time.
If while playing you find that this may in fact be the case, feel free to reply to this post with more information on the bug, even suggesting what you believe it to be, so that our Devs can have a look in that area that they may not have considered.

We thank you for your report, and I assure you, the issue is being hunted.
