Clarifications on Pokémon Go Power Spots [Discussion]

Will Power Spots eventually become PokéStops or Wayspots?

For the Power Spots generated from our new database, not at the moment. But you can start seeing those new locations on the Niantic Map when submitting new wayspots and also while reviewing. We are also working on a major update of the map which will allow our games to better serve more diverse locations on our map.

I want to say again that having these imports show up in the nomination map check is not helpful. It makes it unclear to us as to whether these locations can be nominated as full-fledged Wayspots.

And apparently they confuse some appeals team members as well. Appealed nomination rejected as duplicate incorrectly by appeal reviewer
