Here are some tips to request new Gym or Pokestop.
A few weeks ago, Pokemon Go let players submit requests for new Pokestop locations and gyms. To file a request for a new Pokestop location, players could go to the support page at one point in time, according to a report from Gamestop.
They used to be able to go the support page and select an option 'How do I create a new PokeStop or Gym?' Players had to include the address, the kind of location, the name of the Pokestop and an image. It is not known what criteria Niantic would use to choose a new location. Unfortunately, this was also taken down.
According to reports, the submission process is now closed because when Niantic let portal submissions for the Ingress game, it was flooded with submissions and the process was misused.
If Pokemon Go restores this option, players can look to Ingress to guess how it will select which gym requests to OK. The Ingress map was utilized to create the initial base map for the game's Pokestops and gyms.
For Ingress, players had to submit a form requesting that a place be turned into a portal. Ingress ceased accepting submissions in September last year. The place had to fulfill one of these requirements to become a new portal.
The location is a place of historical or educational value. It has unique art or architecture.The location is a famous local spot. It connects individuals to one another, such as places of worship or libraries.
Owners of places where Pokestops were eliminated are submitting a complaint by filling out a complaint form on the company's support page or tweeting to Niantic on Twitter. Some people are using in-game submission form or the same form to request new Pokestops.
It is not known whether any Pokestops or Pokemon gyms have been added from these forms. However, it is worth a try. According to reports, a user filed a report using ingame support and had some gyms and Pokestops added to his town. A Redditor has recommended using Ingress to find portals and update the information.
Recently, a third party tracking service Pokevision was shut down. The service let gamers to go online and view what Pokemon were in their area. However, it was shut down at the request of the developer Niantic. The company has shut down apps and websites because they negatively impact the servers of the game.
