I Played Pokémon GO's Biggest Event on a Deserted Island

The pokestops with no photo and description were added by Niantic themselves a few years ago in some countries that didn’t have much Pokémon Go activity. It was done using some automatic system that made most random businesses and points of interest POI in game. They just added these in Brazil a few days ago too

The next video title. I participated in the Rayquaza raids while on a meteor in outer space.

In Turkey too, these no-picture stops emerged about 3 years ago. Over time as people took their pictures, the number of no-picture stops decreased but at least my group and I stopped taking pictures. They all appeared out of nowhere one night so yeah it is probably automated from Niantic's end

The best Pokemon go content on youtube since 2016... Please bring back the OG trainer tips theme

I know YT algorithm probably doesn't favour this kind of videos/schedule but your travel videos are always my favourites. Good for Chance for not wanting to be on camera, I hope you had a nice family trip despite the stomach bug.

The photoless PokeStops were imported by Niantic from a database called Foursquare. They used these imports to populate more Pokestop in rural countries (Turkiye, Brazil, India, Phillipines.). Alot of those imported locations don't even meet the actual approval criteria of Wayfarer.

Chance! We miss you! Hope he's doing well, good to see your family out playing with you again. 😊 I love these videos, playing in interesting places where no one else does. PoGo is such a fun tool for exploring a new place. I think even if I get do one day stop engaging with the continuous content additions, I'll still open the app every time I go somewhere new.

Hi Nick! I will be 68 next month, and my heart smiles every time I see you playing Pokemon go with your Mom. I hope your sister was able to heal up quickly 💓 so she could enjoy the rest of the trip, but sorry you got sick too! I hope you all are back to good health by now. Good to see your videos again. Y'all take care! 🥰

bro actually putting out quality content

Actually cool concepts for pogo YouTube videos

Two options. A few years ago Niantic did a sweep and just added Pokestops of certain points of interest and if they didn't have photos within their mapping data they look like this. The other option is Niantic didn't used to sweep strictly for copyright photos now they do so sometimes stops wont get pulled but the photos will if the algorithm thinks the photos might be infringe on copyright. Either way the solution to this is to add photos to the stop and it will get approved and add the photo where it is missing.

Imagine trying to 'spin a new pokestop' after a week of being there

So cool to hear Chance was chillin behind the camera, home the lad is doing well!

Thanks for chance reveal @ 15:45 ! Clutch sunglasses angle

That thumbnail is 10/10. Amazing concept and visual.

Lol it was funny to see that Nick didn't have his mom added as a friend on Pokemon Go

I just love this so much. You're not getting heaps of hundos or shinies, but this video truly is an adventure, all your videos are.

What a coincidence, I have already been there. I was there 3 years ago, with the intention to play Pokemon go. I was trying to visit places that were so remote, the chances of Pokemon being knocked out of gyms would take more than 24-hour. I had to use work vacation time. So why not do something fun. I even controlled all of the Pokemon gyms for Mystic for almost a week. It took me less than a day to go over the whole entire Island and take over everything. I think one of my Pokemon is still in one of those gyms on the island. And that was well over 3 years ago now.

Photo-less PokéStops in Pokémon GO are PokéStops that appear on the game map without a corresponding photo or image in the game’s database. These PokéStops are usually created from real-world locations submitted by players through the Niantic Wayfarer program, but the photo submission may not have been approved, or there may have been an issue during the submission process.
