VR Play Zone Pokestops¿

Hello! I don’t usually post much but I would like to know your opinion about a PokéStop that has been rejected. The reasons it:

-lacking uniqueness or historical and cultural meaning (¿?)

-Gramatical error on the description (that’s not true)

It is a playground for playing Virtual Reality video games. It is an enclosed area where you enter, usually in groups of 5 people, choose a Virtual Reality game, they equip you (with glasses and controllers) and enjoy the experience.

Zero Latency Miramar Google Search

I found it a very interesting place, because it is the only one in all the city, quite popular and, in addition, it is in a very busy shopping center.

I think it qualified well to be a Pokéstop. But after the rejection and, although I have appealed, I now have doubts. Can you help me a little?

I’m actually surprised it was rejected, in my view certainly a good candidate for a wayspot (assuming the location was accurate)

We have compared enough rejected nominations here to be fairly sure this rejection reason from the community means they selected “Generic business”. There is a lot of misunderstanding about what it means to be a generic business. I also think this looks like something I probably would have accepted. Let us know how the appeal goes.

I cant check the grammar since i am not local so i am gonna check the other.

Can you share the coordinate shown in thank you email?

Google map show it around 36.528621,-4.632030

It seems the coordinate in map is not as per what you submit.i dont know if the location in google map is correct or no. The submitted location seems to put the nomination in empty cell. If this is not right, you will need to improve your nomination

Please know that missplacement of wayspot submission into empty cell for game purpose is subject to abuse ladder system

Object wise personally i would approve it, as long there are no other issue within submission.

That’s the coordinates (36.529242, -4.632245) I uploaded the PokeStop from the same door, after taking the photos, so I have been guided by my own location.

What are those rectangles in your last photo? I didn’t see on my map…

This is not good way to submit wayspot because you are relying on gps which may or may not correct, especially inside building. Concerning this particular submission, if i am looking into the building map in google map, it seems missplaced. Please read about s2 cells first.

But know that niantic doesnt acknowledge s2 cell and we cant directly share tool that show it. You can read more below

I don’t understand. In the map you show me that place is in the corner, but Zero Latency is in front off the Karting, not there… I’m very confused.

Today another Pokestops was rejected and I don’t understand why…

Coordinates: 36.528552, -4.632518

Reasons:

lacks uniqueness or historical/cultural meaning

Not permanent or distinctive

I really don’t understand anything… Is a bowling park in a shopping center. The only bowling park in all the city, is the fiat time we have one in year’s…

I don’t understand why the fist one was rejected and with the last one… :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Your supporting foto should help proof its location.

Put yourself in reviewer shoes. Reviewer cant just blindly accept your nomination where you pin it. But the problem is google map is not showing it where you pin your nomination. What make it worse, if google map is right, your nomination wont appear as pokestop/gym because that cell already have wayspot and pinned location is at empty cell. To reviewer it looks like you are attempting to manipulate gameboard by missplacing wayspot submission into empty cell. When this happen, its still submitter duty to prove the location since you are the one submitting it.

If you said its next to Karting, you can take panoramic foto infront of Zero and Karting or other visible vendor so that you can prove that google map is wrong.

Regarding your bowling and arcade, i would appeal it assuming its positioned correctly. You have 2 appeals, each with 15days cooldown

Ok! I understand now your point!

Thank you for your help!
