Raise your hands if you didn't see this one coming! Due to several server issues happening in a few different regions, Pokémon GO's Community Day will get an extension to include people who were left out of the event. Below are a couple of tweets the company released late last night, confirming players in Asia-Pacific region were left out of the event.

We're currently investigating service issues which are impacting gameplay in a variety of ways. We'll be extending #PokemonGoCommunityDay hours throughout the Asia-Pacific region to accommodate. Please stay tuned for more details.

Trainers, the recent service issues have been resolved, and we're continuing to monitor performance. As a result of this outage, we've extended #PokemonGOCommunityDay in the Asia-Pacific region for an additional three hours. The event will now come to an end at 6:00 P.M. JST.

Its the latest in server problems that Niantic have had to deal with, and while this one was taken care of fairly quickly and players were given a three more hours to play, it shows that there are still problems that Niantic needs to iron out of the game after a year and a half of being online. To those of you who didn't have any issues with the event, congrats to you for being able to play and hopefully snagging a Dratini in the process.
