I read twice in the old forum a topic where a Wayspot on a PokéLids was misinterpreted as a duplicate and required to be removed. I forget where one was, but I remember the other. It is a PokéLids in Vulpix, Eniwa, and Wayspot got both removed as a result. What both have in common is that they were…

My point is that you should not delete a Wayspot that is actually there, meets the suitability criteria, does not violate the rejection criteria, and is not a duplicate. Please do not delete it as a duplicate, like the Vulpix PokéLids in Eniwa City. If the team receives a request for deletion due to…

I found an account that confessed to reporting it on X. It was an account created for trolling and frequently disappears from X. I saved the screenshots posted by that account. From what I can see, I guess this account contacted the Pokemon Go site ( お問い合わせ — Report an Issue with a Pokéstop/Gymヘルプセンタ…

My first thought is that maybe Niantic’s legal agreement with Pokemon (Nintendo) has something to say about putting their trademarked creatures in Wayspots. Maybe something to do with Wayspots being used across many games - Niantic doesn’t want to pay Nintendo for the right. Or maybe something else. …

This problem seems to be getting worse rather than being neglected. Reports of pokelids being removed are being posted all over Japan on social networking sites. If it is by the rightful owner, I would like to see some kind of announcement, but if they are relying on reports from malicious attacke…

Thank you for your reply. I also have several Pokélid Wayspots registered, but they are all tourist destinations. If they are removed due to mishandling, it is very difficult to go there again to prove their existence in order to recover them. Many Pokélid Wayspots were probably registered by Wayfi…

Thank you for not abandoning us. I understand that all we can do as wayfarers is appeal to the community. (I haven’t tried that yet.) If we overcome the difficulties and Pokélid becomes a wayspot again, it will be Itachi Gokko…like Tom and Jerry all over again forever. Can we approach the Pokémon G…

I requested a recovery, but I was told to contact another department. In the end, you didn’t do anything. Inquiry Please check No. 30263914. Also, if you can’t do anything, I’ll post it again on the Wayfarer community forum’s appeal board later.

I see that the ticket was created with the in-App support team. Having said that, I have reinstated the Wayspot.

Is a PokéLids not appropriate as a Wayspot? Why is Wayspot being removed?

You can appeal the removal if you think they have been removed in error.
