Is it possible to get a refund for your Pokemon Go in-app purchases?

Pokemon Go can be downloaded for free to play, but in-app currency can be bought with in-app purchases that can be used to get more PokeBalls, storage space, Lures, and many more. So What is the main purpose for anyone to have a refund? Well, if accidentally, you or a child bought something, or if you did not get for what you paid, it is completely legal to ask for a refund.

Recently was also the Pokemon Go updated to remove a characteristic — footprints to specify proximity to track. Basically, the demand could not be maintained by the servers, so the developers eliminated it till they got it fixed. Unfortunately, this leads some people to wish for refunds, they feel that they don’t have a feature to use the items they bought.

Personally, I’m all right with footprints going on for now, and I’m able to catch as much as I did ever. But, whatever be the reason for you, if you feel that your reason is lawful to want a refund for Pokemon Go in-app purchases, you can click below to get it.
