I had a new location of a pokestop approved and it disappeared but has not shown up on the new location so it is gone. The stops first location was in Pokemon Go and the new location should be in the same game not another game. Of course I want the stop to appear in Pokemon Go if I edit the stop, not having it removed from that specific game. I want this corrected since there is no point in helping with existing pokestops if they get moved to another game.
“Grillplats i Kasper Höjers park”
The old location was incorrectly placed behind a little hill and the new location is at the exact location.
Hey @Luss3bull3 ,
Welcome to the Wayfarer Community Forum.
When a Wayspot is moved to a new location, there is an automated review that determines whether the new location is an appropriate fit for each particular Scopely Explore game. Each game has its own set of criteria for this step, so some nominations may be accepted into one game but not another.
The most common reason that a Wayspot is removed from Pokémon GO after relocation is that the current location is too close to existing PokéStops or Gyms. If an existing game location is removed or the criteria change, the nomination may appear within Pokémon GO at a later time.
Please keep in mind that while this is a common reason, it is not the only one.
Best,
Hi
The new location is not close to another stop. It just seems like the process put it in another game for no reason.
I would like someone to look at it and put it back in Pokemon Go or give a motivation to why it cant appear at the new location since it has affected the community negativley to have one less stop in he area when the intent only was to make its location more correct.
Regards Josefin

It doesn’t work like that.
I have reviewed the location and can confirm that it is working as intended.
In what game is it working?
It doesn’t need to be available to a game. It is in the database though.
The inclusion rules of Pokémon GO can be seen here, it is not dependant on just the distance between stops but much more complicated:

Hello and Welcome,
If you post the Title and Location we can take a look and show you what the issue is.
The wording isn’t the greatest. This basically means that it isn’t suitable to be included in Pokemon Go but “could” be used in any of the other games.
Good Luck.
The wayspot is now in the correct position, and can become a powerspot, but it can’t be a pokestop/gym anymore, as in this cell there is already another pokestop (Kasper Höjers Fotbollsplan).
But there is hope, the stop Kasper Höjers Fotbollsplan is also a little bit incorrect, and the pin should be placed just outside the soccerfield, not in the soccerfield. If the pin is placed in the correct position, this could potentially free up this cell.
Edit: moving a wayspot to get it into the game is not allowed, but moving it to make it more accurate is allowed. In this case, a wayspot in the middle of the field is not where it should be, so I would request a move.

It was suitable for Pokemon Go before and if the location is the only thing changed it should be able to get into the same game?
Thank you!
Thank you. I think this was written while I responded to another answer.
I dont quite understand the cells since there are really many really close to eachother in cities?

No it is the same everywhere
Warning: Moving waypoints that are deemed as Correct can lead to warnings / suspensions to both wayfarer and GAMES accounts.
Now I have said that, It does seem that “Kasper Höjers Fotbollsplan” is placed in the field of play which is incorrect.
You could suggest a Location edit to move this to behind the goal which is a different cell. Note that staff will make their own final decision so may decide to move it to a different location.
If this did work there are 2 “not in game” wayspots, one of them could be used as a Pokestop / Gym.
Good Luck
If it had been submitted in the correct spot, it would also not have been in the game (the soccerfield was submitted in 2019), this wayspot was submitted in 2024, and should never have been a pokestop.
The wording is a bit confusing but even though “wayspot in other game” wont appear as pokestop, it might appear as powerspot which actually also useful in pogo.
Ok now I understand, thank you!
