PokéStop Nomination Beta System finally arriving

[bobandbill]

Hurrah! Only took a couple years to reach a beta stage for something already available in Ingress. :V

So happy this is finally happening! Hopefully it will help out players in areas that don't already have a high density of pokestops/gyms (and hopefully they'll have some kind of system to prioritize reviewing submissions from areas with no/very few pokestops over major city centres etc. with a lot of them)

About time! I only have one pokestop where I live which makes hunting hard. If I had to pick another pokestop, it would be either the war monument close to a church social hall or a fire hall nearby.

Sssssiiiiiiii! I'll be able to propose pokéstops!
Those abandoned fluvial ferries and those silos
with graffiti below will become pokéstops! And
so will a few other locations in places where pokéstops are few, like Niue-wait...what?
Lv.40?!?!?
Niantic, why? Is it because someone decided
to turn a bunch of chewing gums sticked on the pavement into a pokéstop?
... well, even if I'll probably have to wait 3000 years,
I can still propose descriptions for existing pokéstops...
which they will probably ignore or never see.

Huh...? I didn't see any utility to propose portals on Ingress... let me guess, it requires high leveling there too, does it not?
Also, I've just read "Natural features such as landscapes, mountains, waterfalls" are not
eligible... what the heck Niantic? Are you going to remove the Limu pools, the sole pokéstop of Niue?
... whoops, there's a sign there! Looks like the Limu pools won't be going anywhere!

(however, man-made points of interest connected to these natural features are great, such as plaques or informational signs)

I don't play Ingress but yes, I believe that is the case.

I imagine they may open it up to trainers lower than level 40 eventually (they say as much on their website); it is a beta system after all. Depends how many submissions they get I suppose from just level 40s.

They're all going to propose chewing gums sticked on the pavement...

I want to cry...

 

[Ho-Oh]

I'm excited to be level 39 honestly! It means I'm gonna hit that awesome level 40 zone muuuuch sooner than most ;)

But the good news? We have a freaking million level 40's here so we're gonna be raking in the stops lol

? Forgive me for the bump, but I ran into the first screenshots of the utility's beta version.
? I can't be too sure, but from the looks I'm assuming one has to be on said location in order to propose it.
? No way I'm taking planes to propose stops around the globe... I guess Niue and other places will most likely remain with a sole pok?stop,
? quite a shame for a place where actual Pok?mon coins are MINTED AND USED!
