In Pokémon GO there are various places that can be visited as PokéStops. A trainer from the community has shared a very special stop.
What is a PokéStop? A PokéStop is a location in Pokémon GO where you can receive items and gifts with postcards for your friends by spinning the stop. You can also obtain field research tasks and deploy lures here.
You have the opportunity to apply for your own PokéStops, which might, with a bit of luck, make their way into the game. A trainer from the community has done this and created a unique PokéStop that touches the community.
Memory Forever
What kind of stop is this? The PokéStop submitted by the trainer and approved in the game shows a playground located near the trainer. The image also features a female dog beside the playground.
And this is not just any female dog that happened to be on site when the picture was taken. It is the trainer’s late dog. He writes that she passed away last year and that he has now managed to “immortalize her in a PokéStop” this way.
This is not only a very beautiful gesture but also a small surprise. Typically, images submitted for PokéStops should not show people or animals.
The trainer himself writes: She was my Pokémon walking buddy. She patiently waited while I battled in gyms or found a large spawn cluster. She always brings a smile to my face when I pass by this PokéStop. RIP Bonnie.

Speaking of PokéStops: The postcards you can receive by spinning the stops are quite popular in the community. You can also decorate them with suitable or even unsuitable stickers. Some trainers have recently showcased which postcards they find the most successful: Pokémon GO rewards trainers with postcards that are so cool that players are now showing off their best ones.
