Pokémon GO is currently seeing an increase in new arenas popping up to replace existing Pokéstops. This would actually be a reason to be happy, but the pattern in the distribution of locations is causing confusion within the community.

Since October 30, 2021, something has been happening in Pokémon GO, or more precisely, on the mobile app’s map. That’s because, as numerous players report on Reddit and elsewhere, new arenas are popping up all the time in the area. Apparently, this does not apply to every region in the world, but in some areas, up to 40 new arenas appeared within a very short time after a map synchronization.

New arenas do not adhere to S2 cell rule

Because Niantic has not commented on this yet, fans are currently eagerly discussing the cause of this sudden change. The fact that the locations of the arenas do not follow the normal distribution scheme causes additional confusion. This is because normally the developers use a clear rule for the positioning of new arenas, the so-called “S2 cells”.

Arenas can basically appear in Pokémon GO according to the following principle:

• The map of Pokémon GO is divided into individual segments, the cells.
• Depending on how many Pokéstops are in a cell, arenas can also be present in the same cell.
• Two Stops in a cell justify an Arena.
• Six points of interest (including Pokéstops and arenas) warrant one more arena.
• At 20 points of interests, there may be a third arena.

However, the arenas that have now appeared since October 30, 2021, completely out of the blue, do not adhere to these rules. Players report that arenas are appearing even where there aren’t enough Pokéstops according to the S2 cell scheme.

As a result, fans are still holding back on their excitement about the new arenas. Some Reddit users also suspect that it could be a massive bug and that the developers will soon remove the additional arenas. In any case, we’ll wait until Niantic makes an official statement about this. As soon as we have new information on this topic, we will inform you promptly.
