Hello Good Day Admin. I already submitted my nominations but as we tried to review my nominations. Some of my friends cant see my nominations since there are over lapping of request submitted. Can you guys please try to have atleast a month of expiration for the nominations since to be honest alot of players already quitted the game due to an approved nominations. Specially in our community. Its been 10 years since the game has been released but not a spec of pokestops can be seen. Need to travel alot since the nearest pokestops is kilometers away. Some of my friends already quit. But i don’t wanna lose hope since the our younger generations once again have given interest to Pokemon Go. Also please try to put a sort or search function on the review page so we can easily advertise our nominations. Im not complaining its just that I only wanted to voice out the new and promising players who only knows how to play the game cant afford to voice out their complain. Thank you.
What you are trying to do is called review circle and subject to abuse ladder system. Asking fellow friend to accept your nomination is not allowed. Thats why the nomination range is quite big. You are supposed to review nomination objectively as per criteria.
If you are willing to share general area of your location , other wayfarer can help advise possible wayspot
Noted on that. But the availability of nearby pokestop one of the reasons why other players already lose their interest? Dont get me wrong your game is great but im talking about the game reaching out to players. In not asking for alot of stops. Maybe for just a few for my community. Also it will help for my community to be getting together. Knowing each other bonding thru your game. Isnt that something to look forward too? Be one of our foundation as a great community specially to the younger generation. Cant promise you guys anything. But for sure it will something to talk about in the coming days. Thank you …
As an RPG Player isnt that the idea of having a Gym? Like the ones shown on the Pokemon movies and animations. A gym of our own that we can defend from other players/visitors? Heheehe…just saying anyway… I hope my nomination can be approved. If not theres nothing I can do about it. Haahaha… Good day guys…
Thats a great idea. If you are willing to share your complete nomination we can advise on how to improve it. Alternately do you know about s2 rule. It will help you determine if your nomination gonna be pokestop or powerspot
Ah… Well… if you guys is going to help me to properly present it i will really really be happy about. I mean i will be honored just to put our local community in your local Map.
Can you share complete sceen shot ( title, description, foto, location, info) of your nomination? You can start with some with higher chance.
Already sent my revised nominations since my previous 8 didnt make it with the review. Once I did make a spot approved then I will know the proper format. I will put my entire local community to the map. Really really love you guys giving me a hand on this.

Please have a read through these for understanding what makes a good wayspot.
Eligibilty https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/criteria/eligibility
Acceptance https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/criteria/acceptance
Rejection https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/criteria/rejection
Also Wayspot Criteria — Wayfarer Help Center
Every wayspot needs to meet Social, Exercise of Exploration criteria. Start from that and see what you can find.
if you post a location, people will be willing to hunt on streetview (etc) and find possible things for wayspots.
I check on the links. And it does fits the description. Even if you guys check on the google earth with photo shoots. The problem is that am I missing something? It kinda feels sad that even though it is the foundation of our community it is still not a part of the map well kinda but not labelled at least.
The old well fits Exploration criteria and I would probably accept it provided the details are correct including the location. If something is not visible on streetview, you can use the web submission at Niantic Wayfarer which allows up to 5 supporting images, using these to provide evidence about the location.
I cannot tell what the other submission/s is/are, but a rice field is not suitable to be a wayspot. It may be something that multiple people work on, but this does not make in Social. To meet Social criteria, a wayspot needs to be something that is primarily intended as a social focus - cafe, library, community centre, church. Something where you can meet other people is not sufficient.
Exercise criteria means something that is primary intended to support/assist exercise, such as a sports field or trail marker. Somewhere where you can exercise is not sufficient.
Exploration criteria means something that is interesting, which people would divert to investigate and would be interested by, which you would show to others. For example, a sculpture, mural, unique natural feature.
Unfortunately farm is considered ineligible. I think you need to move on from this one.
The well might have social aspect. If its rejected ,you might want to consider getting better foto. Tidy up the place a bit is better.
I look into baruyan, calapan city, It seems the area is highly dominated by farm land. What i recommend is try finding these 1st:
- Religious place
- playground
- park
- Multi purpose building
- Cafe/restaurant/gathering spot/gazebo
- Scenery spot.
- Trail
- Etc
You might want to read here.
Last, you might want to learn about how s2 cell works. This will help if certain nomination is between 2 cells and possible to choose between powerspot and pokestop/gym. But dont use these knowledge to missplace wayspot into empty cells. Thats subject to abuse ladder sustem.
Thank you so much.. I learned a lot. I already have some photos to add for my nomination. And some new ones like the one you said about having a church and bridge we do have decades old probably older that us combine im gonna do some research with regards to details. Once again thank you so much. Also I think I get the idea of being specific with regards to spots… Thank you once again.
Im going to check the spot probably tomorrow when its day time. Hahaha… Thank you once again…
Magandang araw, kabayan!
I’m just commenting to inform you that what you see in game might not be properly submitted or outright ineligible. I’ve had reviews in this city using Streetview/third-party images, inclusion of submitter names/IGN, and some more problems that may cause issues with the guidelines.
Magandang Araw din Kabayan.
Well you guys can always check the Google Earth. To check if the location is legit or not. My primary concern like I said before is putting our community in the map. Which will also assist in bringing in new players in the game. Specially from remote locations such as ours. If my request is not granted who am I to force my rights as a player right. I am not the one who is in charge of pushing the button. Right… All we can do as players is wait whether or not the devs will approved it. Ill keep on uploading photos as long as im not violating other peoples rights.
Good Day…
The well is not yet on the map so i followed your instructions to upload it on the wayfarer together with five more photos. If this spot has been approved. I will finally fully understand how to upload a stop. More like giving meaning to “POI” getting others Interest to visit our location.. thank you once again Sir.
I did and found those issues from live wayspots, these are some of the most common behavior that can get accounts banned.
While bringing in new players and making a community is encouraged, you need to create it from a solid foundation. It comes with finding eligible POI and that is dependent on structures that already exists in real life.
Start here: 13.383076,121.135147
It’s a public basketball court. It easily falls into a great place for exercise and socialization.
Here are other POIs that you may find near you. Remember to take your own photos and anonymize the submission:
Eden Lakeview Resort: 13.3835555,121.1405526
EverLand Lake Resort: 13.3913634,121.1422386
Chapel (Check out if they have a patron saint to use in the title): 13.390636, 121.141527
Baruyan Covered Court: 13.388105,121.138950
I Love Baruyan Photo-op: 13.388113,121.138789
What seems to be a library: 13.3795757,121.1338146
IMO this areas are the ones that need similar experiments run through
These inputs are outside the scope at which we, players, can submit sadly.
