Is there any way to get my wayspots that have been approved added into pokemon go? I live in a very small town and have been trying to grow the game here. My last 3 approved wayspots haven’t appeared in the game. I know its not guaranteed that they will but as i said previously it is a very small town and we have limited options for wayspots to nominate. It just seems rather unfortunate that wayspots i nominated specifically for pokemon go can’t be used in the game.
Hello,
This may help explain why your approved Wayspots are not showing up in PoGo:
Hi,
That is a very frustrating situation.
There is the possibility that some may become Powerspots. I try to think of these as sitting on the substitute bench in case something happens to the current pokestop.
If you would like some support looking for other things to nominate we will be happy to help.
I posted this in another thread but it seems it could help here for future submissions.
When objects have a very specific location, such as fitness equipment, picnic shelters, then you don’t have much choice where to put the pin, so the cells (re proximity rules for Pogo) don’t really matter. if it doesn’t become a pokestop, it may become a powerstop.
When objects have a choice of location, such as a playground set, then knowing the cells can make a difference if you want a pokestop rather than a powerstop (or the other way round!), as you can choose where to put the pin when nominating and there is a legitimate choice of positions.
What you can’t do is try to move things after they are accepted in order to make them appear as a pokestop, if they are already in a good location and you are just moving them to a just-as-good location. People do that when they know about the cells and the proximity rules and are trying to tweak the gameboard.
