Summary
Nearly allPokemon GOPokeStops from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California are now gone, according to members of the localPokemon GOcommunity.Pokemon GOplayers are extremely confused by the situation, as the disappearance of PokeStops can stifle community growth and trainer progression in the area.
Pokemon GOSeason 14is currently underway, with various limited-time events being planned leading into June 2024. Throughout these new events, PokeStops serve as useful hubs for players as they prepare for raid battles, gather items, accept Field Research tasks, and meet up with fellow trainers. What’s more,Pokemon GO’sPokeStop Showcases give players another opportunity to gain additional rewards, such as Incubators, Star Pieces, Incense, Lure Modules, and much more. These resources may become scarce at the University of the Pacific campus in Stockton going forward, however.
Reddit user Fudgenuggets980825 and otherPokemon GOplayers are disappointed to see almost all the PokeStops from the University of the Pacific disappear. Only one PokeStop remains on the Stockton campus grounds, and many players are worried that the removal of the PokeStops may negatively impact thePokemon GOcommunity in the area. For example, the lack of PokeStops may cause players to look elsewhere for meet-ups andPokemon GORaid Day events. Other players speculate that the removal of the PokeStops may have been a decision influenced by the university’s president.
Almost All Pokemon GO PokeStops Were Removed from the University of the Pacific
The reaction from the player community on Reddit is mostly negative since similar situations have caused players to look outside their local area or favorite spots for PokeStops, Gyms, and more suitable areas for events likePokemon GOWeather Week. Exploring the nearby area is less viable due to the lack of PokeStops and items that players can accrue. SomePokemon GOplayers, like Reddit user Alitmos, are optimistic that the PokeStops may return if the community voices their concerns properly and respectfully to Niantic and the university’s higher-ups.
The loss of these PokeStops deals a great blow to thePokemon GOcommunity in Stockton, and any students who attend the university and playPokemon GOlikely won’t be pleased either.Pokemon GOplayer activity on the campus will likely be concentrated on the last remaining PokeStop, and players wanting to team up for raids will need to venture to Gyms in a different area. This is also troublesome for locals wanting to participate inPokemon GO’sMarch 2024 Community Day eventand catch the featured Pokemon, since PokeStops are often used to refill Poke Balls.
