There the trainer can see the Nomination Guideline to see how many pokestop can be requested within the time lime. Remember, you need to be at the location where the pokestop is requested.

2. Choose the Location

Upon choosing New Pokestop, a map will open. The place you are requesting is marked with an orange pokestop symbol, while other pokestop are blue. Drage the orange pokestop symbol to the desired location. Then make sure the location you are requesting is no too close to other pokestop, or it will not meet the requirement.

3. Take Pictures

Next, you have to take a picture of the location where you are requesting the pokestop. Take a clear picture of the place and place the main object in the middle of the picture. A low-res picture will not meet the requirement.

Make sure there the picture is clear from a person or any body parts, animal or images with copyright, or the request will be rejected. Fyi, you have to take the picture yourself and not use an image from the internet.

4. Take a Photo of the Nearby Area

You should take a picture of the area nearby. It will help the evaluator to judge whether the place is secure and accessible as a pokestop. Is it possible to create a pokestop on a cliff? The picture is not used for the pokestop but rather for the evaluator.

5. Create a Name and Description

Next step, you create a name and description of the place you are requesting. Ideally, you use the actual name of the location or the object you are requesting. If the place or object doesn’t have a name, then you should give it a name as interesting as possible.

For the description, make sure it attracts other trainers like historical events or something similar. Make sure that you are not referencing HTML or URL. The name and description can be written in any language, but it’s best if you write it down in the native language of your country.

6. Preview Pokestop

After taking a picture and giving the place a name and description, you can preview the location of the requested area. This is your last chance to see whether you have met the requirement before the request is sent to the pokestop evaluator.

7. Sending the Request

There is another step before sending the data of the requested location. You have to explain why the location/object should become a location. Explain why the place is suitable for a visiting place for Pokemon GO trainers. Is the place wonderful? Does the location have historical value? Or does the place great for a short trip?

You can explain all of that in your native language, make sure the description is interesting, so it has a bigger chance to become a pokestop. This information is just for the evaluator and not included in the game. When things are set, then click submit.

You will receive a confirmation email after sending the pokestop request. If your request is accepted, you will receive a congratulatory email. Fyi, not all pokestop requests, even those who meet the requirement, will be included in the game.

The place you requested may appear in other Niantic games like Ingress and/or harry Potter Wizards Unite.
