Niantic launched Wayfarer for Pok\u00e9mon Go in 2019, and it continues to give hope to all of us who live in rural places. Through the platform, players can submit nominations for new Pokestops, gyms, and Max spots so that you don\u2019t have to travel as far to find what you need to hatch and evolve those \u2018mon. Now, Niantic takes it a step further, with the announcement that you\u2019ll soon be able to find out exactly how many players have used your nominated spots to gain goodies and fight fierce battles in the game.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not all the stats Wayfarer can send you. You can also find out how many of your nominations are approved, how you help expand the map, how many reviews you submit, and edits you successfully make to other people\u2019s Wayspots. Of course, you\u2019ll need to have contributed to Wayfarer to get the stats, which are sent to your email every month.<\/p>\n
To submit nominations, your Pok\u00e9mon Go level must be 35, so if you\u2019re hoping to achieve fame in your local area, you\u2019d better get catching. The system isn\u2019t without its critics, of course. Some fans over in the game\u2019s subreddit say they can\u2019t get nominations through because of poor AI judgments, including subpar knowledge of accessibility routes, words triggering censors incorrectly, and false assessments of the level of danger. Hopefully, with increased eyes on the Wayfarer system after this announcement, some of these issues will be ironed out.<\/p>\n
