Wait, you revoked access from within google, and then the pokemon app was able to give itself access again without asking for permission?

Yes. I'm not sure if I need to re-log in the app or not though. Maybe if it didn't freeze and I didn't have to re-log then it might have left the access revoked. But it seems that once I re-log the full access goes back into effect.

re-logging in is re-authorization
