I follow Pokemon Go on Facebook and don’t see any mention there.

I wouldn’t have had a clue about it unless I followed wayfarer specific channels or was on the forums here. Not seen it mentioned at all anywhere wider.

I suppose the Pokémon GO Brazil account at least mentioned the Brazil challenge?

and there’s a blog post about it, just not for the global Edits one.

Yeah, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen the FB page for PoGo post about the Edits Challenge. As for the Brazil review challenge, Twitter/X is most used in Brazil.

I can say that not even PoGo Hub posted about either challenges on their site or social media, and I know that they used to, along with other larger 3rd party Niantic game sites.

I thought this challenge was only for ingress players

I’m surprised that Pokémon GO Hub didn’t.

I don’t read it, but I think that @Glawhantojar writes up anything Wayfarer related so I would have thought it would go up about the Edits Challenge?

I don’t know if they have any Brazil staff who would be looking at those feeds though.

I’m always checking PoGo Hub, especially for raid guides.

It still doesn’t hurt to post about an event that might bring in more Wayfarers.

I agree. I just don’t read it myself, nothing on those who do. Wherever is easiest/best for you to get your game news from.

I meant to, but honestly, I didn’t have time to get to it before it started.

I’ll get the next one.

Got my edit challenge rewards, and I submitted 131. As for the community, all that is noted is that over 500,000 edits were submitted. Nothing mentioned about how many edits ML resolved.

So then just waiting :rofl:
Think they will do it like the last ones.
First Pogo only
Second ingress only
Third both games

Or something like that

I wasn’t quite expecting them yet, so was a little surprised to get them.

Did surprise myself with how many I submitted. Didn’t surprise myself with the quality of the text edits I submitted vs others in my area. Sure, it’s a church, but give me a little more of a description then that!

I did 86 in total, not close to what you guys managed! Lol, 1 incubator. That tells me exactly what Niantic thought of my efforts.

You also got 5 Super Incubators based on the code ending in XB2.

Got the rewards. Thanks for the speedy turnaround. Would have been nice to have more, but appreciate the rewards nevertheless.

That was for community efforts
The 1 single incubator was for my individual reward - ie - what you did was pretty much worthless, thanks for nothing, the community carried you.

I understand your point, and it would have been nice to get more… But I am on the fence on this one. I know edits require some work in researching, going to the location (for Pogo players) and editing the Wayspots, but I am wondering if the effort is more than someone nominating a new Wayspot. But, I’m on the fence… not sure how to react strongly either way.

I don’t know what you expected? It was clear in the post.

You did more than 50 edits, but not 100 so it’s one Incubator for the Pokémon GO rewards.
