Too many Pokémon, not enough waking hours to catch them all. That seems to be the crisis for many of the 7.5 million people (in the US alone!) who’ve downloaded Pokémon Go, the mobile game that has people exploring their cities, getting exercise and meeting strangers IRL.

But some frustrated players are opening the app to find … nothing. App users in geographically isolated regions, including rural towns and small villages, are complaining that their game maps are mostly empty. They see few PokeStops (if any) to stock up on ammo. No gyms to do battle. Low Pokémon spawn rates. No possible way to catch ’em all.

Redditor XplayGamesPL, who lives in a small village in Poland, posted in Reddit’s Pokémon Go community and called upon developer Niantic to add more play portals to these areas, stating that as things are now, the game is unbalanced with city players having a major advantage.

The redditor shared a map showing the few PokéStops nearby.

Other rural and suburban dwellers echoed the sentiment.

Some have pointed out the irony of the issue—in the classic Pokemon games, the first place to encounter wild Pokemon is in wide open spaces, particularly “the tall grass.”

Redditors are signing a Change.org petition, created by Colton Gerber of Madison, Wisconsin. With the title “Add Pokéstops, Gyms and Pokémon In Less Populated Places,” it states:

What’s worse than server issues with Pokémon Go? Logging in for the first time and seeing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Yes, while some of us have been catching every last Pidgey/Rattata/[insert basic Pokémon here] we can find, frantically swiping Pokéstops for items, running all over town racking up steps, and instigating hostile (but friendly) takeovers of Gyms, fellow would-be Master Trainers have been completely left out.

It gives the backstory of why the game was made this way:

Niantic, Inc. (the developers of Pokémon Go) previously created a game called Ingress. In Ingress, players try to take over “portals” (think Pokéstops and Gyms) to connect them together as part of a network. Once upon a time, users could submit requests to Niantic for places/structures/objects of “cultural significance” to be added as new portals to improve gameplay in their area. However, the number of players grew to the point where the number of requests became too great and the ability to get new portals was disabled. THIS IS IMPORTANT because the location data for Pokéstops is entirely sourced from Ingress. With a few exceptions, every portal in Ingress became a Pokéstop or Gym in Pokémon Go. This idea, while ingenious, impacts the functionality of Pokémon Go in an even greater way than it did Ingress. Without the ability to submit new requests for landmarks, players in geographically isolated regions or even places where no one HAPPENED to play Ingress have a limited or essentially nonexistent Pokémon Go experience. There should be a system to submit requests for Pokéstops and Gyms, even if it takes a while to get them approved—even if the only requirement is that there isn’t another one RIGHT next to it. Then, where there are Pokéstops and Gyms, have Pokémon spawn. Simple as that.

The petition currently has 565 signatures. Redditors are also offering ideas on how to make the game more fair—and fun—for all players.

People in non-cities need Pokémon action, too. In a passionate call to action, Gerber writes, “This franchise, which has captivated so many of us since childhood, has somehow magically brought people out of their homes and away from their computers and TVs to start experiencing the world once again. People talk to each other on the streets, go places they never would have before, get exercise, and have an incredible time because of this game. Those of us who have witnessed this phenomenon firsthand owe it to everyone else to make heard the need heard for functionality that allows the rest of us to be included in this crazy, glorious, Pokémon-filled world.”
