Last year, I played Pokémon GO and linked it to my Google account. Now that I want to jump back in, I'm facing a major hurdle. I know my account password, but Google won't let me access it. I can't receive the verification emails anymore because I've changed my phone number. Google Support suggested using the same device and being at the last location, but I've moved to a new country and changed devices. Is there any way to get my account back? I just want to play Pokémon GO! If it comes down to it, even hacking into the account sounds tempting. Any advice would be appreciated!

It sounds like you're in a tough spot! Unfortunately, if you've changed the authentication methods linked to your account, it can be really tricky to regain access. My best advice would be to just create a new Pokémon GO account and start over. It’s not ideal, but at least you can play again. Sorry, that sucks!
I get how frustrating this can be. Maybe try reaching out to Google’s support again with all your previous account info? Sometimes they can help verify your identity in other ways. Just be persistent!
It’s worth a shot! Hope it works out for you!
But my Pokémon GO account had all my Pokémon! I feel your pain!
