Gyms Upper limitation

General Discussion

Dear Team,
Is it possible to increase Gyms Upper limitation in Level 14 cell?
(because the gap between 20~64 is big but the gyms number already stop increasing)

When I started learning about the cell rules in the game, I noticed something interesting.

My hometown already has 3 Gyms, but there are only around 20+ PokéStops. And I’ve noticed that many other areas are in a similar situation.

It made me wonder: does the current Gym limit actually reduce the motivation to keep exploring and finding new Wayspots?

Finding good places to nominate already takes a lot of time, especially when exploring areas you’re not familiar with. And honestly, getting nominations accepted isn’t always easy either.

Even when a new Wayspot gets approved, once an area already has 3 Gyms, there isn’t much motivation from the Gym side to keep going.

That feels a little strange to me, especially because a Level 14 cell can contain up to 64 Level 17 cells. There’s a pretty big gap between reaching 3 Gyms at around 20 Wayspots and potentially having many more Wayspots in the same area.

I originally wanted to keep exploring my hometown and find more interesting places to nominate. But after having several nominations rejected by the automated system, and realizing that there was no longer any chance of creating another Gym, I started losing some motivation to keep exploring.

That’s when I started thinking that maybe the Gym limit itself is part of the reason.

So I wanted to bring this up as a suggestion: maybe there could be another Gym milestone after 20 Wayspots, such as at 30, 40, or even 50.

It wouldn’t have to be easy to reach. The idea is simply to give players another reason to keep exploring and finding good Wayspots instead of feeling like they’ve already reached the end once an area hits 20.

I think this could make exploring and contributing feel more rewarding, while also keeping the game more active in areas that still have plenty of room for new Wayspots.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my observations and thoughts.

The Wayfarer staff do not acknowledge the community observations about gym promotions. The process is independent from Wayfarer. You may want to try to contact Pokemon Go support with your concerns about gym density.

For example

This is the Wayfarer Help Chat. To reach Pokemon Go support, try

A chat box pops up there, too. I have not tried to deal with them this way, but Pokemon Go and Wayfarer are separate.

I was thinking about this. My idea was to change the quota so that each gym requires adding as many stops as the previous one +2.

This preserves gyms 1 and 2 at 2 and 6 (+4), inserts a third gym at 12 (6+6), keeps the now fourth gym at twenty (12+8), then goes 30, 42, 54, allowing densely packed grids up to seven gyms (the next increment is above the total number of cells that exist).

Inserting the gym at 12 is the key here, as it would greatly benefit a wide range of communities… not just the places that are able to build up to 30+. And these numbers provide a simple mathematical progression that works off of the established numbers for the first two.

Agree. I think your formula is great.
we don’t want the Gym density too crowd.
But 20+ Pokemon spots are really not enough :rofl:
