[Android Apps and Games] Veno1:
An amazon card would be much appreciated, I would likely use it to rebuy a new mouse lmao. Anyways though, I've been testing all night on a spare PC and I absolutely replicate the issue. It seems that if the uninstaller cannot find the correct directory that is default to "my documents", it removes the entire parent directory. I did it a couple times on windows 10. I currently do not have access to a safe windows 7 machine to test it on W7 however.

Currently, my emulator's files are now saved to a new folder in my C: drive, away from all my files, which are now backed up incase.

Do you have any way to mass-message anyone (through the emulator perhaps?) that has it installed as to the issue, and to backup their "my documents" folder as a precaution? The backlash will only continue has more people uninstall it for various reasons including upgrading. I just want to prevent this from happening to as many people as possible before it taints the reputation of this emulator, which is still by far the fastest and easiest emulator i've ever run.

___________________ ALSO, Off topic to everyone else who's having trouble downloading apps ___________________

follow these steps, Sadly on a fresh emulator there's a few issues that are caused by Google and Google play which cannot be easily prevented, but can be easily fixed.

1) Go to the "internet".

2) Go to "google.com"

3) Search up "Google Play Services"

4) Click to download the app, (DO THIS FROM A BROWSER, THEN LAUNCH THE DOWNLOAD THROUGH THE PLAY STORE) <--this is critical. The play store does not give everyone access to search up and find "Google Play Services".... so it is likely you will not find the app unless you are searching it through a browser and launching the app page into Play Store from the browser.

5) Anyways, UPDATE your "google play services".

6) Now that you've updated Play Services, go back to the play store (the actual app, play store)....

7) Search up the app "Google Play Games"

8) Download/Install it, or if you have it, Update it.

These two key apps control a lot of functionality for games and other app downloads, that can cause hundreds of errors and problems if not installed. These should fix a vast majority of app downloading and app running problems many are having, and a default android emulator simply doesn't come with them.

*NOTE* If you're using both VM1 and VM2 machines of the emulator, you'll have to do this process on both emulators, as they run independently as two separate installed programs.

"Use of 3rd party software" You broke the rules, not the developer.

Niantic will NEVER tolerate using Any of their games on any device except your phone/tablet, and they will not tolerate you finding a way to play from home. I've been playing Niantic games (Ingress, the game that pokemon go was built from) for five years. We traveled around state to state, city to city, submitting these locations you now call "poke-stops" and battling them in a huge capture-the-flag type of game for years and years... using a lot of my personal time and gas to do so with hundreds of others. It's been a great experience.

If you want to play a PC game, then go play a PC game. If you want to be a couch potato at home in your basement, then continue to do so. Pokemon GO and other augmented reality games are designed for those who want to GO OUTSIDE and play with other players at other locations. That is the whole point of the game, to GO...

Anyone attempting to emulate (or cheat) on pokemon go Will get banned by niantic's pretty unbelievably accruate detection tools (though they do operate slowly, they do eventually catch everyone).
