Many Pokemon Go trainers have been dealing with storage issues for a long while. As new items get introduced to the game, and new species debut, space and organization have become more and more of an issue.

While storage space upgrades are something players must pay for using in-game, premium currency, the chance to add more slots is one many hard-core players will likely be excited about.

Fans in the comments like JRESeawolf has confirmed that the new max capacity is already live, allowing players to purchase new upgrades for both storage systems.

However, some Pokemon Go fans aren’t as excited, with many frustrated the maximum was only raised by 50 slots. One fan comments “only 50 more spaces? I need more than that” while another adds, “Wow 50 whole storage”.

The lack of space can be a real struggle for many who play the game frequently. From Shiny Pokemon encounters to Legendary Raids, the catches can quickly take up all available room. Hopefully, more storage options will be added to the mobile game in the near future, offering additional ways to keep organized while playing.
