Pokestopupload doesnt get any response?

Hello,

My parents got a bar which i tried to upload as a pokestop (or gym). I did this months ago and it doesnt get any acceptation/denial. With the other pokestops i try to upload (more recent ones), i get like instant response within 2 days. Hows that possible?

Welcome to the forum!!


Those fast decisions were probably made by the ML (machine learning ai) model. My guess is that those emails say “our team” instead of the community. I think this one has been left for community review.

Yea sure



Is there any way to ask for a gym instead of a pokestop? Since lots of people meet here?
Just asking :).

Thanks in advance

It can take anything from a day to a year to resolve…although things have improved more recently.

But unfortunately that is not the main problem.

The rules for Pokémon Go mean that there can only be 1wayspot taken from the database into Pokémon Go per Level 17 cell (green boxes on the map above) and the trail marker already occupies that cell. This means the cafe - lovely though it sounds will not appear in Pokemon Go.

You think you are requesting a pokestop or gym but it is a wayspot and whether it then ends up in the game is down to Go developers.

You need to learn about cells https://pokemongohub.net/post/article/comprehensive-guide-s2-cells-pokemon-go/
It’s frustrating but that is how it is.

So basicly if i try this 1 cel more to the left it should work?

The cafe is within that cell. If you try to place it where it is not, then you will be in trouble. So don’t try to deliberately miss place the cafe.
What you can do is try to find other objects or places in the unoccupied cells and submit them.
Gyms are created depending on the number of pokestops in the larger red outline boxes when you reach have 2 one is a gym, reaching 6 gives a second gym and on reaching 20 a 3rd gym. You can’t request a gym.

Okay, thanks for the info!

Oh and by the way, if the cafe is over 2 cells (its the whole orange looking building) could that still bring me in trouble if i upload that as a pokestop? :stuck_out_tongue:

What gets you into trouble is pinning things where they are not actually in order to place them in an empty cell. If what you are pinning in the empty cell is actually there, then it is allowed. Restaurants are very hard to get accepted so really provide evidence that this is more than just another place to eat if you submit it.
