Pokémon GO will allow trainers to create new pokéstops

At Niantic, creators of Pokémon GO, they are well aware of the problems that users in rural areas are experiencing to enjoy their game. Or those trainers who, for some reason, have to travel several kilometers to find one of the game's pokéstops. That is why, albeit calmly, they have been working on a system to suggest the creation of new collection points for pokéballs and other items of the title.Of course, calm your anxiety because, for the moment, this service is in beta or test version and is only available in Brazil and South Korea.

This is the proposal system for the creation of pokéstops, and it will be released in its beta version shortly. In this way, and for the first time, it will be the coaches themselves who will be able to suggest the creation of these points of vital interest for the Niantic game. Now, they are still proposals. That is why those responsible for the title will evaluate each one of them and think about whether it is really reasonable to include a poképarada as suggested by these proposals.

Of course, not everyone will be able to suggest the creation of a pokéstop at the door of their house, which would be most convenient.In principle, this service is limited to trainers who have reached level 40, also excluding child accounts. And all this fenced off in Brazil and South Korea. Something that will be extended in the future to more countries and, perhaps, also to more players of not so much level. We must not lose sight of the fact that, for now, Niantic will start the system in the testing phase.

According to their website, these trainers can provide photographs and descriptions of the places where you want to place a pokéstop. However, it will be expert users who will analyze the proposals through the project Operation Portal Recon by Ingress. For those who do not know it, it is the other Niantic game that It has similar mechanics, with portals instead of PokeStops.

Of course, on the Pokémon GO support page, there is talk of evaluations through the community of players, who will vote for the most interesting proposals.Of course everything will be measured and controlled. In fact, even skilled players who meet the requirements to make a proposal will have a limited number of proposals

Requirements to create a pokéstop

Proposals cannot be launched lightly. And, of course, they cannot attend to selfish and personal interests. Proposals for places that cannot be accessed in a pedestrian and safe way, or that are inside private residences, will not be considered either. In addition, the correct circulation of police and firefighters is taken care of, so that the suggestions of pokéstops cannot hinder this transit In addition, proposals that are related to stores will not be approved and adult services.

The good thing is that Niantic has clarified what are the points that must be given in a proposal so that, if the community votes for it, it ends up becoming a real poképarada in the future.Safe places like Parks, Libraries, or Public Places of Worship Large public transportation stations are also interesting, if they don't already have a PokéStop. Niantic also suggests proposing hidden or little-known locations, or unique works of architecture and sculpture. Of course, the listed historical sites can become a PokéStop within the game.

How to Propose a New PokeStop

The process to create the proposal will be integrated into the game itself, so that the trainer with the requirements can do it comfortably. The process is simple, but requires will and detail for the proposal to be valid.

Just press the main button and access the game Settings menu, where there will be a future button called New PokéStop.

A virtual map of the area automatically appears to be able to specify, with a thumbtack, where exactly is the place of the proposed pokestop. Confirm the action and that's it.

Then you have to take a photograph of the place or the object in question that will star in the pokéstop. It must always be your own photograph, and it must be of good quality to be accepted as a proposal. Then it is also time to take photographs of the context of the place.

You must also enter a title and a description, without writing nicknames or writing links to web pages.

Finally, all that remains is to review the proposal and confirm. Of course, do not forget to specify that it is an important proposal so that the experts take it into account and end up in the vote of the coaching community.Now, if the proposal is rejected, you can still review it and modify any section so that it is taken into account again. If accepted, it will eventually become a PokéStop in Pokémon GO.

Of course, at the moment only expert Pokémon trainers who have reached level 40 can make proposals. As we said at the beginning of the article, the first to try this proposal system to create pokéstops will be Brazilians and the south koreans. However, it is expected that more coaches from different levels and more countries will soon access this useful service.
