"[Discussion] The Travel Event could be even better with new Pokestops"

#PokemonGO: New Ingress portals still do not get converted into Pokemon Go. And we still don't know if they ever will.What we do know, however, is that it's not a bug that all the new Pokestops were removed on October 11 and new ones were never being added again.Don't get me wrong, the new event is great! I'm not here to complain. This post is only meant as constructive criticism for this event. Because the event could actually be better with all the new Pokestops we could have had by now from Ingress.Same was true for the Halloween Event, where the issue was first exposed to a greater percentage the playerbase on reddit, because of this post.We know that this is not a bug, because NianticGeorge recently commented on this issue (finally, but still only indirectly) that they "refresh" certain areas (Brazil and Korea only), so the new portals get converted into stops or gyms.So they do have the ability to make new Pokestops and Gyms appear, but they don't do it in the majority of the world.But the truth is:We would have a lot more spawn points with all these new stops, especially in rural areas, where there are less overall.People would actually travel more, because there would be more locations to travel to.And if Niantic would finally convert every new portal (that is not too close to an existing one) into Pokestops or Gyms, more (rural and suburban) players would participate with even greater motivation in this event.So why are they still not updating every area in Pokemon Go for more locations to visit? via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2zlAQqg
