Pokemon GO opens Route creation to level 40 Trainers and above

Niantic has made another small update to Pokemon GO that some Trainers will no doubt be happy to see. As of today, Trainers who are level 40 and above have the ability to create a Pokémon GO Route.

A Route is a pre-defined path that you can follow while exploring. These paths may be made by Niantic, official partners, or other Trainers, like you! As you follow a Route, you may discover Pokémon and receive special bonuses while following the Route and completing Routes will grant you rewards. Completing a Route will earn you the badge associated with that Route, featuring a custom photo from the start or end point.

In the future, Trainers can expect for Routes to continue to spring up around the world as more are approved. Please note that Route creation in general is still being rolled out, so keep an eye on your email to see when this is ready for you.
