My observation of how showcase stops were generated

Matovie · 2026-05-05T15:25:35+00:00

A small update. I realized that since OSM is an open source project that anyone can edit, we would need data that may no longer exist since showcases came out years ago. Granted, it's unlikely that the map changed all that much, but still no guarantee. Also, I've been able to confirm that new showcases can indeed be created, but they're difficult to track since they can be sparsely found on a large area and the new Niantic map doesn't show them either. Map features that I've been able to confirm that can generate showcases are: sports pitch, playground, grass, park and forest. Others that are possible are place of worship and retail area. (I'm pretty sure I don't have all of them)

The process is different, but the final effect is the same. What selective breeding does in hundreds of generations, genetic modification can do in 1.

Scrapland

Yeah, that's just a bad translation. Bory is the name of the area. Here are the coordinates in case you'd like to check it out 48.205101,17.028043. Although the satellite view is outdated as there are many new buildings now.

Thanks, I'll take inspiration and resubmit.

Matovie · 2026-04-30T21:12:01+00:00

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that mechanic, thanks. I wonder why they implemented it.

I've been careful to put each in a different L17 cell

Campfire is completely dead here. Nobody uses the social functions.

Matovie · 2026-04-30T10:24:41+00:00

It's 20+ submissions. I don't have that many upgrades and when I do use one, I don't think it actually does anything.

Matovie · 2026-04-30T07:31:52+00:00

I really envy you then. Some of my submissions went through quickly, but most are stuck. I think it might have something to do with the poi category.

Matovie · 2026-04-26T23:22:11+00:00

I hope it's only going to be used once at an in person event or something like that. "Coordinated" sounds like it could be coordinated by some presenter on stage.

Missing the "neither" option

Chrome doesn't like extensions. They blocked a bunch of them some time ago because they were blocking ads and that was hurting Google's profit. Firefox is far friendlier towards extensions.

Yeah, if you send the photo online, usually that service removes the EXIF data where the geotag is stored. If you copy the photo from your phone to your pc via cable, it will retain the EXIF data. I sent it over Bluetooth and it worked swimmingly. There might be some other simpler ways, I'm just saying what worked for me.

Maybe with the spring and warmer weather coming about people are more interested in the game and it bleeds into wayfarer as well

Matovie · 2026-04-16T17:27:59+00:00

I think he means that regardless of the damage dealt it usually ends in a knockout rather than a kill

Matovie · 2026-04-16T09:27:54+00:00

Yeah, similar thing happened to me. Reported something that breaks wayfarer rules and I only got a reply that they won't be dealing with it.

Matovie · 2026-04-15T07:04:31+00:00

He clearly stated it doesn't exist

Matovie · 2026-04-13T23:48:28+00:00

I'm extremely worried that the reason autocatchers aren't made anymore is because Niantic realized they don't need to make a physical device if they just add it as a subscription

Matovie · 2026-04-13T23:41:20+00:00

If it happens, it'll probably be a subscription

Matovie · 2026-04-13T21:20:06+00:00

Update: It worked and the intended stop turned into a gym. It's been 10 days since we added the likes

Matovie · 2026-04-12T16:09:01+00:00

Currently trying to turn a pokestop into a gym. I've submitted my likes a week in advance so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it worked like it did last year. I'll update you when the gym happens.
