• When I first started nominating Pokestops many were not approved or labeled duplicates. In spite of the explanations here, I'm still confused about cells and all this mumbo jumbo. It is NOT well communicated in the Pokemon GO app. I almost gave up even trying, but I persisted and managed to get some new Pokestops approved.…

• It seems that there is this cross-platform issue, I would think there ought to be a warning within Pokemon GO when someone is trying to submit a Pokestop suggestion when you place a pin to mark the location and it conflicts because it is too close to another stop or is an existing stop in Wayfarer, Ingress, etc. I never…

• This will be my last post on this topic since Niantic does not seem to care if the process is difficult to understand and very obtuse. The overcrowding of Pokestops I can agree with, but I live in a rural area. Several of the nominations I have sent in are not close together so it seems there isn't a good reason to not…

• The question is NOT if it is in the system, it is more which system is it in. I play Pokemon GO. If my nomination is on the Ingress Map I could care less. I am NOT playing that game. Every other church in the area is a Pokestop. Pokemon GO should have its own map apart from Ingress. If all other churches in the area…

• If a location is not a Pokemon GO Gym or Stop and is not on the map in the game and I submit it following the guidelines then it should be approved. A Waypoint apparently is a different animal used in Ingress which I don't play and don't want to play. The system as explained to me here is NOT how it is explained in the…

• Yes, when one gets approved it feels good. BUT ... when one gets shot down it feels lousy. If a place is NOT a Pokestop in Pokemon GO and you submit it per their instructions and then you are told it is a duplicate it leaves a terrible impression in my mind. I do not care if it is on some other game's map that I'm not…

• Unfortunately, this will make it less likely I will participate in submitting nominations and updates. Niantic needs to get their act together and make this whole process transparent, without hidden rules. And give credit for ALL submissions including updates to pictures and descriptions.

• I appreciate your more detailed answer. It gives me a better understanding. The Pokemon GO app does not explain all this and makes it sound simple when it really isn't. What sounds user-friendly, isn't so friendly from my point of view. Like several other things in Pokemon Go and Wayfarer, things are not coordinated well.…

• I appreciate what you both are saying, but find this not really answering my question or solving my dilemma. I play Pokemon GO and submit via that app and play no other version of Pokemon. I have no clue what the Lightship database is and the difference between a Pokestop and Wayspot, nor do I have a clue what a level 17…
