Niantic will soon be rolling out the first beta test of a new PokeStop nomination system in Pokemon GO. Initially, players in Brazil and South Korea will be able to participate, though their Trainer level will need to be level 40 – and child accounts are excluded.

This marks the first time that Pokemon GO players will be able to submit locations in Pokemon GO. These submissions will be considered for future inclusion in the game by experienced users in the Ingress Operation Portal Recon (OPR) project.

More information can be found on the Pokemon GO support page here.

Niantic posted an update to its blog today recapping activity from the summer. Of course, the company provided an update on Pokemon GO here.

Pokemon GO did well this summer, as activity was up 35% since May. Niantic further says that since social features were added at the end of June, over 113 million friend connections have been made and 2.2 billion gifts have been sent to friends.

Work continues on Pokemon GO. This fall, Niantic says there will be “surprises” on the way “to give Trainers even more ways to play together.”
