Why Am I Seeing Reviews from Other Cities Instead of My Own?

Hello Pokémon GO community,

I've noticed that most reviews in the Pokémon GO app are from other places rather than my own city. Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how to make the reviews more about my location?

Thanks!

Why Are Pokémon Reviews in Other Cities and Not Ours?

Guess what I found in the game? When I check out reviews, they're mostly from other cities, not ours! 😮 Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas on making the reviews about our city? Let's figure it out together! 🌍

Hey everyone,


I've noticed that there aren't any reviews from Sakarya, Türkiye (Turkey) in the Pokémon GO app. Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how to fix this and get reviews from Sakarya to show up?


Thanks a bunch! 🌍

    @Elijustrying-ING used to have an image that gave a good idea of how big your reviewing area actually is. I don't know if she still has it to hand though.

    The above image shows level 6 S2 grid cells laid out over your area. Local review area is the L6 S2 grid cell you're in plus the 8 around it. Sakarya falls on the boundary line of 2 L6 cells so the exact review area will depend on what part of the city you are in. The reviews you will receive will come from all over this area as well as upgrades from all over Türkiye. Review enough and you will sometimes see nominations in your city. But the system will keep those spread out to prevent abuse and to keep you reviewing longer.

    Hello @pokemus61-PGO

    This is the Wayfarer community, not the Pokémon community, you can read some of the existing posts to get to know how it works better.

    When i was in Türkiye in april, i only got to review around 1000 total nominations. Half from Istanbul and Antalya. There just might not be enough submitters in the country, as Niantic has already imported alot of wayspots into their games. And that kind of makes submitting pointless.

    Yes, that's correct. Istanbul, Antalya, Ankara, Izmir each have around 100, while the other cities have 1 or 2, approximately."

    **It is interesting that Sakarya, which has a large student population, has not yet been included in the Pokémon GO review. It is important that players be given reviews of the cities they live in. How would someone from Bayburt know Istanbul? For example, how would someone from Sakarya know Antalya? I would like to suggest a correction for this.**

    **Here is a possible correction:**


    **Instead of adding cities and counties to Pokémon GO in a random order, Niantic should focus on adding cities and counties that are home to a large number of Pokémon GO players. This would ensure that all players have access to reviews of the cities they live in.**


    **This correction would address the concerns you raised. It would ensure that all players, regardless of their location, have access to reviews of the cities they live in. This would be a major improvement for the Pokémon GO experience in Türkiye.**

    I saw Sakarya once in 1000




     I couldn't accept it, the location and photo were wrong

  • Because if you only get your own city you directly benefit from accepting them.

    It’s a pain in the **** when you get French/German text edits though.

    Then you just need other reviewers from oher cities to review nominations from your city. Isn't that simple?

    Perhaps folks like @G0J0-ING can help you.
