Appealing declined help chat location edits for sponsored Pokemon Go Gyms

Wayspot Appeals

There are two sponsored gyms as a part of the Mega Lucario ex Figure Collection promotion. It is a GameStop and BestBuy, which I attempted to move to the correct location, but the help chat could not do it.

The GameStop’s sponsored stop is currently located right off the highway as opposed to the Westmoreland Mall, where it belongs.

The BestBuy’s sponsored stop is currently located on the property of a Gas utility company.

I understand it is a sponsored stop and the sponsor should be asked in regards to moving the nomination, but both GameStop and Best Buy are big corporations. It seems unlikely a response will come from either of them.

Being these are sponsored stops, staff has to take different routes to move them. They usually do have to be in contact with the sponsor for the moves as well.

Help chat may not be the best to contact, as they typically don’t handle sponsored stops/gyms, which aren’t currently on the Wayfarer map. You may want to try contacting the PoGo team about this at the following link:
