Stuck "Loading Map..."

[Cacher]

Wasn't sure if this goes in General Bugs or Client Bugs..

 

Problem: Stuck on a black screen with "Loading Map..." and a pokeball in the top left corner of the screen.

 

I was going up the brass tower, reached floor 10 and I stepped onto the next ladder going up and now I'm stuck with the loading screen.

 

Additional Details:

- Beaten Kanto & Johto E4

- Haven't completed Ruins of Alph Quest, didn't lookup that guide until it was too late..

- I have tried relogging and everytime I log back in it pops back to the "Loading Map..." black screen

- I tried redownloading the current client and it didn't fix the issue.

- When I start the client it comes up as "failed" for "Downloading Maps" and "Checking Map Version" (might be the issue, idk)

 

Any advice to help fixing this would be appreciated, just beat the Johto E4 last night and looking forward to exploring more of the game.
