Niantic Wayfarer is a new tool developed by Niantic, which will allow you to nominate and review PokéStops in Pokémon Go, and points of interest in other games such as Ingress Prime.
Previously, if you wanted to nominate a PokéStop, you had to be a level 10 Ingress player or meet the criteria and be in a country eligible for the PokéStop nomination beta.
Niantic Wayfarer will be especially useful for all Pokémon trainers who live in rural areas, which lack a good number of gyms and PokéStops.
How do you review a PokéStop nomination using Niantic Wayfarer?
Once you’ve nominated a couple of PokéStops (our PokéStop nominations guide can help), you can continue helping the Pokémon Go community by reviewing PokéStop nominations.
There are nine steps you must complete when reviewing PokéStop nominations.
For almost every step, you will be asked to give a rating using a scale of 1 to 5 stars. The highest rating you can give is 5 stars, with 1 being the lowest.
Steps that do not use this scale are: ‘Supporting information’, ‘Check for duplicates’, ‘What is it?’ and ‘Additional comments’.
1) Review the quality of the nomination
This step will ask you to rate your overall first impression of the PokéStop. If you need help, check out the criteria for what makes a good PokéStop nomination.
2) Title and description
Make sure the description and title of the PokéStop are spelled correctly and appropriate for all audiences.
3) Supporting information
In this section, the nominator may have provided additional information about why they think their nomination will be a great PokéStop.
You don’t need to rate this section, but it’s worth considering what the nominator has to say about the location, especially if you can’t visit in person.
4) Check duplicates
During this step, you will find yourself looking at a small map of the local area surrounding the PokéStop nomination.
This map will contain all of the PokéStops currently available for this area, allowing you to ensure that the nomination has not already become a PokéStop.
Make sure the PokéStop is unique both in location and visually.
5) Historical or cultural importance
For this section, you need to consider whether this nomination has any important meaning to the local area or history as a whole.
Does the nomination celebrate a famous historical event or did it take place here? Does the proposed PokéStop have any cultural significance to the local city? Is it a work of art or a local popular spot?
6) Visually unique
PokéStops should be easy to find and, for this reason, they should stand out visually from the rest of the world.
You will be shown the image of the nominated PokéStop again, and this time consider whether you could find this PokéStop in the real world.
7) Secure access
No one wants to die playing Pokémon Go, so you need to make sure every PokéStop nomination is safely accessible.
Is there a road junction nearby? Is the PokéStop in the middle of the park?
You should also ensure that players can access the property without crossing onto private property. This means you can’t turn yours or your neighbors’ front porch into a PokéStop.
8) Location accuracy
Location accuracy is, as it suggests, ensuring that the PokéStop pin is where the PokéStop actually is in real life.
During this stage, you will find yourself looking at a Google Map page with a pin for PokéStop. You will be able to move this pin exactly where you think the PokéStop should be.
You can also use Google Streetview if available for this area or you can use other methods, such as visiting the PokéStop in person, to make sure the pin is where it should be.
Lastly, you will also have to rate the pin location with 5 stars. 5 means the pin location is perfect, 3 means the pin is close to the proposed location, and 1 means the PokéStop pin is in the completely wrong place.
The Season of Adventure Abundance is here! The Halloween event has returned, bringing with it Greavard and Houndstone. Party Play, Pokémon Go’s multiplayer feature, is here, along with the Welcome Party quest. You can also work on the Timed Investigation: Master Ball mission and compete in Go Battle League. Be sure to compete in Shadow Raids, complete routes, use Daily Adventure Incense for a chance to encounter Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos, and Galarian Moltres. This incense can also give you encounters with other rare Pokémon in Pokémon Go.
9) What is it?
In this step, you must choose a category or subcategory to describe what the object, building or area that has been nominated actually is.
Choose the closest descriptor from a drop-down list, including “Building”, “Object” and many others.
10) Additional comments
Finally, you have reached the last stage. Here you can add any little additional comments that you personally want to add about the PokéStop.
This can be a little note on why this area really needs a PokéStop or why it is a dangerous place to place a PokéStop. You can also, if you wish, leave this space blank.
