Yesterday, Pokémon Go was temporarily taken offline, and virgins across the world were up in arms.

UK, Yank and Dutch players all vented frustration at the trouble they were having with the app.

App developer Niantic said in a short statement: "Due to the incredible number of Pokémon GO downloads, some Trainers are experiencing server connectivity issues. Don't worry, our team is on it!"

Then, hackers PoodleCorp claimed to have been behind the cyber attack. The group has previously attacked other games such as League of Legends and Battle.net.

Now, Anonymous has chimed and said 'Ha! Amateurs!' and explained what they thought was the reason.

Anonymous says the offline state was the result of simply too many men-children for the servers to handle, along with the fact it'd been released all over Europe.
