Some of the 7-Eleven (convenience store) sponsored gyms were downgraded to Pokestop, and if there were two 7-Eleven (convenience store) within 14 cells, the convenience store that was Pokestop became a gym, and if there was one 7-Eleven (convenience store), the Pokestop in 14 cells became a random gym or the Pokestop with many pre-worked dabongs was promoted to the gym.
There’s a lot of talk about this, but there’s a lot of speculation and there’s no official guidance anywhere.
I wonder if Niantic is aware of this issue.
Have similar things happened to other countries?
