Dear Niantic Team,
I’m an active Pokémon GO player and a Wayfarer contributor, and I wanted to share some feedback regarding Power Spots.
Recently, one of my Wayfarer nominations, a very good-looking statue of a portuguese woman, was accepted and is now appearing in Pokémon GO as a Power Spot. While I’m very happy to see it included in the game, I noticed that Power Spots do not display the Wayspot photo or description, unlike PokéStops and Gyms.
Many Power Spots are based on real, interesting locations such as artwork, statues, and landmarks. Showing the photo and basic information would:
- Help players appreciate the real-world place behind the Power Spot,
- Highlight the work of Wayfarer contributors,
- Encourage exploration and respect for local points of interest.
Even a simple option to view the primary photo (similar to a PokéStop photo disc) would greatly enhance immersion and community engagement.
Thank you for your continued work on Pokémon GO and the Wayfarer program. I appreciate the opportunity to share this suggestion and hope it can be considered for future updates.
