Through recent travails past certain areas and information by certain members of my raid group, I've noticed that some areas are not what they used to be. Sure, there are many new PokéStops and Gyms in those areas, but a number has been found to be missing as well for one reason or another, which is quite unfortunate. Because of the situation, I want to take a post for the remembrance of these missing PokéStops and Gyms in their locations.
In my area, there have been two Gyms that have, unfortunately, been removed. One was removed as a result of a shift that led to unfortunate consequences, and another was removed with no warning - in fact, the latter one was the "library" Gym I mentioned in a post a long time ago, perhaps by someone knowing that the library no longer existed and using this information to report the Gym. While few PokéStops appear to have been removed, there are several PokéStops that have the potential to be removed, especially if they are marked for AR Mapping and/or contain questionable content. It may be well to hope that the phenomenon can be prevented or at the least minimized.
In a faraway area that I haven't been to in a long time, a couple of Gyms that I've encountered for a fact have disappeared, and even this has occurred prior to the present. A few PokéStops also appear to have been shuffled around to make room for new ones, with or without any of them having disappeared; obviously it's tough for me to be really observant about this with limited time in the places of concern, but the process surely has occurred. And they likewise suffer from the same effects of AR Mapping and questionable content as with local PokéStops and Gyms, or for that matter any area. But it is obvious that these two are of current and particular concern.
I and other Trainers are certainly disappointed that some PokéStops and Gyms have disappeared from the overworld map, whether in our local area or a faraway area. New PokéStops and Gyms may have replaced them in filling the void of their locations, but they will never replace them in spirit. For that reason, it is well worth it to remember their service, with the hope that whatever fills the void may live up to their expectations of service.
