The last few weeks have been so depressing and overwhelming, so Pokemon Go could not have come out at a better time. I may be wasting away my days and gas money but it’s been so nice to have something fun and distracting in between going to rallies, just to keep my spirits up. It’s been really nice to see other people talk about friends their making and how happy they are playing it. Then of course something had to ruin it. This shit is not okay. The landmark descriptions on Pokemon Go come from an older app and weren’t vented very well because obviously there’s a lot of ground to cover. This needs to be changed ASAP.
PLEASE REPORT THIS AS AN “ISSUE WITH A POKESTOP”!
The address is 11833 Hamilton Ave Highland Park, MI 48203 United States.
Keep in mind that the people fielding these requests may not be familiar with the subject matter so please explain that this is a mural of an innocent dead child who was racially profiled and murdered. Where it says add file use these screen caps above! (I cannot find the original post for these, feel free to inbox me if you have the link.)
Hi everyone, just wanted to add onto this post by saying you can also report things via Pokémon Go!
Click Pokeball
Choose “Settings”
Choose “Report High-Priority Issue”
Choose the respective problem under “Gameplay Questions”
Fill out form.
Note that this will close Pokémon Go, and open your web browser! If you’re conserving data, take a screenshot and follow the link OP embedded above. Consider bookmarking it as well!
Unfortunately, as OP said, landmark descriptions were carried on through an older app that allowed user submitted locations. So chances are it might take a while before any changes will be made if Nintendo/Niantic are not notified! Not only this, but hateful/inappropriate player names are getting banned fast once they are reported.
Please don’t allow hateful trainers into a place meant for everyone to feel safe
Also for reference: here is the page and what is on it
I know some of my friends have wanted to report…. less awful pokestops then this for just normal inappropriateness (ex: making them from people’s graves w/out asking first) and team/name changes so this is apparently how you do it
