Pokestop was accepted but did not show up in the game.
When can I expect it?
Hey @Lakerusv2 ,
Welcome to Wayfarer Community Forum.
Thank you for submitting a Wayspot nomination! While some nominations may be deemed eligible by the community of reviewers on Niantic Wayfarer for inclusion into Niantic’s location database, they may not necessarily be added into every Niantic game. After a nomination is approved by reviewers, there is an additional automated review that determines whether the nomination is an appropriate fit for each particular Niantic game. Each game has their own set of criteria for this step, so some nominations may be accepted into one game but not another.
The most common reason that an eligible nomination is not added to Pokémon GO is because the nomination is too close to existing PokéStops or Gyms. If an existing game location is removed or the criteria changes, the nomination may appear within Pokémon GO at a later time.
Please keep in mind that while this is a common reason, it is not the only one.
Thanks,
If it was accepted more than a couple of days ago, the explanation is as below. If it has only just been accepted, please wait at least a day.
Not every accepted wayspot will appear as a pokestop/gym. The acceptance email tells you this, even if the submission process says “submit a pokestop”. Some things will become powerspots.
Wayspots are submitted to the wayfarer database and Pokemon Go then chooses which ones to use. This is done using a proximity check to avoid an area becoming too dense with things to spin.
