Hi, one of my nomination ( the treasure fountain located at Chater House HongKong open space) is being accepted for two weeks, but it doesn’t show up as a pokestop in Pokemon Go, want to know if it will turn up any time?
The second nomination is a pavilion for people to take a rest, it is in queue for almost a month now. ( located in Tai Wai, Hong Kong) also wonder when will it appears in the Pokemon Go as a pokestop, and since there a a few pokestop in the nearby, can the pavilion be upgraded to a Gym?
But it should be at least shown in the game you originally submitted for. Like I submitted via Pokemon Go and it got accepted, but it is not showing there. No wonder more and more people are leaving the game.
Although you are submitting a nomination via the game it is up to the game to decide if it is subsequently used.
And that can be frustrating and I personally don’t think the language used is helpful.
Until the introduction of Powerspots the only in game options were stops and gyms. For years some wayspots that sat unused and are now being used in the game as powerspots.
Recently a wayspot I know of had sat unused for 7 years but because of a change in the pokestop that blocked it, it is now in the game.
So perhaps we should view it more as it is not being used right now, but might be at a later date. That is up to the game developers.
If you would like to share the GPS coordinates of a wayspot that hasn’t appeared we will happily explain the situation you have and perhaps look for other submittable things.
This not entirely true. Most unused wayspot that dont appear as pokestop/gym might appear as powerspot( it is used in rotation) unless it is too close to another wayspot
