Hi! New to this website (been playing the game for less than a month too) and I hope I don’t sound ignorant to the existing rules of this place. I would like to ask for help (?) on having a Pokéstop near my area of living (I have a few around but they’re streets away). I’m not yet lv. 37 so I can’t nominate and seeing my neighborhood, it doesn’t really have any architectural, religious, recreational, or artistic areas that Niantic listed down as good potential wayspots. There’s a gym 2 streets away which tells me that there’s more than just one (me) player in this neighborhood that may benefit this inquiry (?) I like playing this game a lot but I only get to play it on my way to and from work. Since I don’t have any Pokéstops near me, my character’s just circling around with my buddy when I’m at home
I’d appreciate your feedbacks or comments ^^ also, please don’t be too harsh if ever this violates any rules I’ve failed to notice I also added a photo of my area for your reference too ^^
It’s always nice to hear from someone interested in finding out about Wayfarer. And most of us start out interested in improving our nearby area.
Finding and nominating is the way to go to get new places in the game.
You will have to wait until you are level 37 to begin, however you can use that time to learn about wayfarer, find things to nominate and take photographs etc.
There are a lot of people who will be happy to help you .
I am going to move this over to nomination support which is where we can talk this through.
You will find lots of examples to read through there so you can get a better idea of what to do.
If you are comfortable can you say roughly where the area is so that some people can start to help looking around.
Been working on that levelling up idea (few more levels until 37, yey!) Just tried my luck by posting here and I appreciate your comment!
I’m in Pasig City, Philippines, if this helps. I hope a couple of other wayfarers in my area that I don’t know of take a notice on this post too.
Thank you, btw!
To level up to 37 in PoGo I think the fastest way is to get friends via the internet and level them up. If you have a level 4 friend it gives you 100k exp and you can double that with an egg.
I was just around this city yesterday! I visit from time to time, there are also some Campfire groups near this city that may help submit for you.
Tell me if you want me to DM you to look for possible points of interests that can work near your place. Or you can drop the general area’s coordinates for the rest of the community to cross-check. I find it improbable that there aren’t any neighborhood basketball courts, in Pasig?!
However, you should note that these acceptable wayspots rely on the occurrence of eligible points of interest in real life. If there aren’t some near your wanted space, it may be that the place has to be developed before being actually viable for this type of gameplay (speaking on experience). Or devote time travelling and grinding to places that are more established.
So far, that’s what I’ve been doing (going places), especially on weekends when I have the time. The lack of a Pokéspot urges me to walk and go to places, haha. There’s a court that’s quite far? Like, 10 or more streets away. Anyways, trying to see the good, the game keeps me walking, my steps thanking PoGo for this, haha.
Also, no one asked but I actually tried to use my bf’s account before to submit a wayspot in place of a small grotto (that’s inside our garden). It was rejected since it was inside a private property and I completely understand. Just tried to share this story
Thanks for all your comments/replies! Btw, I’m in Bagong Ilog, Pasig. Thankieee ^^
There’s a basketball court inside Universal Robina. There might also be a gym for personnel there. Permitted access is a prerequisite for making these nominations though.
If the barangay is looking for project concepts, you may want to suggest beautification projects or informative murals at the factory exteriors. Marikina has made similar ones commissioned with local artists, a paint company, and schools iirc. This one is also in Pasig.
Taking note of these things, thank you! I’ll focus on levelling up so that I can try to nominate for myself ^^ I’ve taken notes on what I may try to suggest when time comes that I reach lv. 37 haha
Thanks to this thread, I’ve learned tips and recommendations!
Do come back to this topic if you have more questions as to whether something is eligible and how to take good photos.
There is a lot of useful information and ideas in this topic:
I also added a photo of my area for your reference too ^^
