If you haven’t already, try checking Campfire for routes. There’s a button that will have them pop up on the map. Gives you a way bigger and better picture of routes in your area than the game menu does.
I do agree that it does really suck though if you can’t find any near you 🙁
Niantic says “Pokémon GO move to bustling city if you want to keep playing.”
Are you Level 40 or do you know anyone who is? You should hopefully be able to create a route yourself. I had one approved next day, although that isn’t always the case. If you have a park near you try a circuit of it…and stop one Pokestop short of a full circuit. There’s a theory that that helps.
Campfire. Unless you are in a super rural area. They are out there.
create one in a park, sometimes instant approval.
Parks and downtown city areas. I live downtown and near a park and there are 8 within view of my apartment. More if I go a few blocks in any direction
I feel ya. The only route near me was locked inside a gated community. It got reported and removed.
Routes are a joke and you can’t convince me otherwise
Yeah I have yet to go anywhere near a route. Even when I went on vacation a few weeks ago I kept checking. Nothing. Are they only in major cities or something that my corn field living ass does not want to go to
There’s one route near me but it involves trying to cross a very busy road twice.
Routes feel like a user safety blunder to me. You’re making a set path, where people (when they can find the damn things) will be walking phone in hand and distracted.
Where I am, there are only 4 routes available and 3 of them have at least one stretch that feels a bit sketchy.
I created one at work . Have to do regular patrols and boom personal route
I’m lvl38, can’t get to 40 in time for this 🙁
Yeah, it’s a pain. There was one I found in our city center that was actually really nice, led you from the train station to a cool spot downtown, but it just disappeared this week. Who knows how Niantic is “handling” all of this. (Poorly, if nothing else.)
Am I the only one who likes routes
I live in a town of 10k but thankfully some higher level players made many, I’m sure Id feel the same as everyone if I had no access to routes either
I’m in the same boat brother
I am the same. Level 50 here- have had 6 under review since July where I live. Campfire also isn’t an option as I live in a country where it is not even enabled yet!
I’m stuck camping this week, its a 30 min walk to a pokestop. I don’t think this event is for me this year lol
I can’t do this either no routes near me tried to crate two, one is now over a month old and still under review tried to make another one and that one is close to a month old now
Same boat, I’ve submitted a couple but they have been under ‘pending review’ for several weeks
Stop complaining and go and make one. All you need is a stop. I live in the suburbs, so I created a stop at the closest kids playground and then created a route that starts and finishes at the playground in a big loop of the neighbourhood. Not a quick process, but more productive than the constant complaining on this sub.
I’m lvl 42 and decided to create a route and it was instantly approved then I did 2 more by my work and neighborhood and those were instantly approved. How is everyone else not able to get routes?
Closest route to me according to campfire is in this tiny village with about three hundred inhabitants. Part of my family is actually from there, it’s a ferry ride, twenty minutes drive, and another ferry ride away.
My 10 000 inhabitant town has none according to campfire. They have two.
(And I’m not high enough level to make one. I am guessing the same person made both of the ones in that village, just find it kind of funny.)
i’m one of the lucky few who basically live at the start of 6 different routes lol
The requirements for making a new route should be “lever 40 OR top 10 active player in your area”
Drive to your nearest big city and make a whole day of catching Pokémon. Put time aside this weekend to go somewhere you haven’t been and see what you can find. You never know what you’ll find
I didn’t have a route by me, so I created some. Most got approved quickly. Now I have routes.
Stupid question but are Routes temporary? I ask because there was one near my home a few days ago but now I can’t find it or get a notification that one’s near anymore
Op just learned that Niantic doesn’t give a fuck about its consumers.
Couldn’t you just create one?
