This form can also be used to try and let Niantic know about PokeStops and Gyms that may feel a little out of place. Nevertheless, diehard fans have managed to find a few blindspots where they can manage to play the game, particularly in one town perched in the country’s northeast.
Contrary to the stereotype of a solitary game player glued to a display in a room, Iwata believed everyone is a child-at-heart, eager to go outside and play, interacting with the world and other people.

It is all for the love of the game! Kids who loved Pokemon when it was first introduced now have the opportunity to relive a favorite childhood activity in a new and exciting way.
