"In the Pokémon GO update version 1.1.0 (build 31.0), we updated our Google Account login system and as a result, may have inadvertently created another Pokémon GO account by logging in with a different Google email address than the one originally used for the game," Niantic Labs said in a statement.

Niantic Labs has also detailed the trouble shooting procedure to fix the trainer login issue.
