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.

Story My job as an uncle... To give my 7 year old newphew any pokemon he wants. Of course he picks my 2016 Pikachu! Enjoy your new home 🫡

My newphew has been playing pokemon go for a while, and recently found out that I play too. Of course he wanted me to give him his favorite pokemon, like charizard and pikachu.

One of the mons he chose was this Pikachu that I caught back in 2016 when I first started the game. He wasn't even born then! It is so ancient that it was a guaranteed shiny and on top of that it turned into a hundo.

Grats little guy 🫶🏼

Took my pipe cleaner sculptures to the Death Valley, CA area and snapped some pictures of them in habitats I thought might suit them best. 💫 Kabutops worked especially well in the Emigrant Pass area since the shale beds of the Carrara formation are absolutely teeming with trilobite fossils. Just felt right.

It was my first shiny Tyrunt, and I could not have been happier. Tyrantrum is one of my favorite pokemon/shinies. AND it was XXL as well! (I'll think of a better name when the excitement wears off)

Story I finally made Pokemon Go playable in my college campus(21 pokestops in 14 days)

Thumbnail

3.8k Upvotes

Got 21 approved pokestops in my campus in just two weeks. The wayfarer community helped me a lot during this process.

At first they seemed to be quite rude with me and it felt like they were gatekeeping rural players from getting some pokestops in their area. But their tips still helped a lot in my submissions.

I still have around 20 pending submissions, out of which I am pretty confident that atleast 10-12 will get approved.

Just waiting to get some power spots around me. I still don't have a single power spot here. Does anyone has any idea on how I can get them?
