Pokemon GO starting to tinker around with PokeStop nomination system

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments

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.
