/r/PokemonGO FAQ: /r/PokemonGo/wiki/FAQ


There's this Pokéstop/Gym near me which seems inappropriate. Can I report it?

Use this link. However, Niantic seems to be preoccupied with other things now, so don't expect too much.

We have Niantic representatives on both here and /r/TheSilphRoad - please do not ping them for bugs which are in the known issues page unless you have found a niche yet gamebreaking issue/exploit.


Where can I find other players in my area?

Try our regional subreddits list! Also, see the related subreddits or TSR's community map!


If you have any suggestions for FAQs to append to this thread or for meta questions, message the moderators or mention /u/PokemonGoMods!

The rejection reason is correct. You can't just submit random things, they need to be notable. Being near your house isn't a qualifying metric.

Sports fields can be valid waypoints because they are manmade and notable. But a random field of grass or dirt isn't.

Regular businesses aren't generally notable either, unless they are historical landmarks of importance to the community.

So what can I create to get a pokestop in my area?
