Can you guys create an app only made for pokemon go?Nominations, most of us think it will be a great idea.I don’t play the other games.It feels like it’s a waste of time since I only play pokemon go. I’m only a pokemon go fan. I have nominations at my park that went to the other games that sucks for me.And all the people who place pokemon with me. Trying to be a good ambassador while waiting for approval. not eligible to be used in Pokemon Go. And if the game board changes, a Wayspot that is not currently being used in Pokemon Go can be promoted. Is there one?
Welcome to the forum!
There is some confusion around submitting. Despite what the prompt tells you, you do not submit Pokestops. You submit Wayspots, which may or may not be eligible to become Pokestops or gyms. This is a good article explaining community observations on further rules to be included in game: https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/
That message about being used in other games is misleading. It should just say not eligible to be used in Pokemon Go. And if the game board changes, a Wayspot that is not currently being used in Pokemon Go can be promoted.

So can you guys make an nomination.app only 4 pokemon go player’s i agree.What’s the point of nominating?If it goes to the other games that we don’t play
The point is that we’re building a map of points of interest that the Niantic Scopely games can utilize for their game boards. Some of the things that are approved may end up as Power Spots in Pokémon GO if they are not eligible to become a Pokéstop or a Gym.
If you would like to read the article @cyndiepooh provided, it will give you some insight into what typically may appear on the Pokémon GO gameboard based on what the community believes are the game’s inclusion rules.
I must caution you, though, that manipulation of Wayspot pin locations to benefit any of the game boards is considered Wayfarer abuse and could lead to your Pokémon GO account being suspended.

Can you guys make one please
What is it exactly that you would like made?
Even if they made an app just for submitting Pokéstops, those submissions would still have to get passed the inclusion rules of Pokémon GO, which is outside of the scope of the Wayfarer program.
So the option that you want is…
A: You have an app that allows you to nominate which then ignores the inclusion rules so all the nominations will appear?
This is unlikely unless Pokemon Go change the inclusion rules which I don’t see happening any time soon.
B: It allows the nomination, checks the Inclusion Rules, if it fails these and won’t appear in Pokemon Go then it doesn’t appear anywhere?
Seems more of a waste to me, I would prefer nominations that are not suitable for Pokemon Go to be used elsewhere if possible…

If it matters so much to you then learn about the S2 Cells (link above). At least then you can confirm that it is likely to appear if accepted.
Copying @Glawhantojar warning…

CorrectBut it will help out a lot of people on pokemon go.Because we wake up and we’re trying to get pokemon stops at our area.It’s nothing more hurtful than seeing it go to another game that you don’t play.And everyone’s wondering where’s the pokemon stop at most people stop playing where i’m at?Because most of the pokemon stops didn’t go through pokemon.Go and went to another game can someone please figure this out and fix it before?It becomes a pokemon go problem
We have explained. Have you read the explanations?
It is on you if you don’t want to learn what the community has discovered about what makes points of interest go live in Pokemon Go when submitted as Wayspots. It is not on the team to develop an app that will only allow you to submit in locations which are eligible to be used in Pokemon Go.

While I understand the frustration of having Wayspots approved and them not show up in Pokémon GO, I again will reiterate:
“Even if they made an app just for submitting Pokéstops, those submissions would still have to get passed the inclusion rules of Pokémon GO, which is outside of the scope of the Wayfarer program.”
Just because the system says the Wayspot is in a different game, that doesn’t block it from showing up in Pokémon GO. The Pokémon GO inclusion rules are responsible for that. Wayspots can appear in multiple games. The concern you have is not a Wayfarer concern but instead a disagreement with Pokémon GO’s inclusion rules.
I suggest that you read through the replies from myself and others you’ve received in this thread and take the advice you have been given. There is nothing that anyone from Wayfarer can do.
Just hoping you guys can find a solution. Because we’re having a lot of people stop playing Pokémon, go or they stop nominating on Pokémon, go because it goes to a different game.
Again, the solution you are seeking is something that needs to be taken up with the Pokémon GO team.
It is not a “only allowed in 1 game” so going to another game does not stop it going in Pokemon Go as well.
The Inclusion Rules are what is stopping it appearing in PoGo so even if there was a app just for PoGo they still wouldn’t appear.
The link above explains this in detail but I will try to simplify with a graphic…
This shows the new map with extra add on installed to show the Cells.
- The Red wayspot is a Gym.
- The 3 Blue wayspots are Pokestops.
- The White wayspot was accepted but is unable to become a Stop or Gym as it’s cell already has a stop.
If you planned to make a nomination you could check it’s location first and confirm whether it was likely to appear if accepted due to it being in an empty cell.
Repeat Warning: Always place the nomination in the accurate location where it is in real life. Incorrectly placing to try and get it to appear may get both wayfarer and Pokemon Go accounts suspended.

No it does not.
Every wayspot that is accepted goes into the wayfarer database.
Each Scopely game then independently decides which wayspots it will use. Each wayspot may be used by none, some or all of the games.
I understand that all you guys have to do is move it around. I was just wondering, could y’all event one that goes straight to pokemon go
No.
