PokéStop Nomination Live in Turkey

Posted in

PokéStop submissions are live in Turkey! Turkey has joined the list of the following countries where PokéStop submissions are currently available: Sweden, Portugal, Finland, Singapore, Germany, India, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Denmark, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Peru and the rest of South America.

Do note that Pokémon GO was never officially released in Turkey, but it’s not banned either. Interesting developments, we expect more countries to be added next month!

PokéStop Submissions tips and tricks

  • Be sure to read thoroughly through our A Comprehensive Guide to S2 Cells and Pokémon GO article to really understand what will become a Stop and what will become a Gym
  • Currently the limit is 7 submissions every 14 days.
  • Every submission has it’s own cooldown.
  • Be respectful to players reviewing your submissions. These are real people who participate in Niantic’s OPR system. Read more here (a recent news item): Niantic adds incentives for OPR reviewers: OPR Upgrades
  • If you really want to support this system, you should play Ingress along Pokemon GO and become an OPR reviewer
  • You can find the official collection of PokeStop criteria here and here (fan made but accurate)
  • These categories are NOT considered an eligible candidate for a PokéStop:
    • Places without safe pedestrian access. All PokéStop nominations must have pedestrian access otherwise they will be rejected regardless of the quality of the PokéStop.
    • Private residences & surrounding private residential property
    • Locations that interfere with operations of fire stations, police stations, or hospitals
    • Places on the grounds of child care centers or primary/secondary schools
    • Natural features such as landscapes, mountains, waterfalls (however, man-made points of interest connected to these natural features are great, such as plaques or informational signs)
    • Objects that are not permanent (such as seasonal displays)
    • Adult-oriented stores or services (such as liquor stores, adult entertainment, shooting ranges, firearm stores, etc.)
