Genuinely a really cool thing. I’m excited to see what my numbers look like!

Wish that these emails could be controlled in the Wayfarer settings, not PoGo. I don’t need to get excessive offer and event emails from the game, since that info is easy to find online.

Echoing the above, I am an Ingress refugee that doesn’t play Pokemon, but I would still love to see how I might have impacted the game board for other games.

The thing I don’t understand is, that it is monthly. Does that mean we won’t ever see how our older wayspots have impacted the game?

Great point! Doesn’t seem fair for the Ingress players that have been grandfathered into Wayfarer to not have an option to get these emails.

Since the systems are disconnected from each other I doubt there is a way to include Ingress players now. Perhaps best suggested to Ingress on bsky instead to start a system of their own like this.

That’s really up to Spatial to decide if they want to have an email like this. Right now, only edits, mainly title and description, are being accepted by the Recon team, and the Recon site isn’t fully up and running.

How will you define ‘a brand new area’?

Are you talking about L14 cells
.? :wink:

I love this idea- would really love to get an “ever” version if possible as well and the monthly update is very cool

Hi @AMG7070,
Depending on the section you’re talking about this could be true. So for example, you won’t get the monthly visit stats for every month since your nominations got accepted. BUT if you made a nomination in August and it got accepted in September, then that WILL be captured in the email coming in October. Hope this helps.

Hey @DTrain2002 and @InvestigateXM,

Thanks for asking. So you won’t be able to see how your Ingress nominations made an impact in Ingress since they are no longer linked with Wayfarer. Regarding how your nominations from Ingress made an impact in PokĂ©mon GO, I’ll surface this to our team and see what workarounds we might come up with.

Hey @cyndiepooh,

Trust me that the Ambassadors suggested this too knowing you and several others are on the same boat. Unfortunately our forum isn’t connected to our other data tools that collect the stats in the email. However, while they might not be connected in the same email, this does open the opportunity to look into what emails and stats we can do specifically for the forum.

I don’t know if I’ve ever said it explicitly, but being able to see how many people are interacting with the stops I’ve made is something I’ve wanted for a really long time.

To be clear, the interaction stats you get involves interactions amongst all of the pokestops you’ve ever made in aggregate every month, right?

Hey @tomwe,

Great question! This will display in your email when your Wayspot nomination is approved in a brand-new area of the Wayfarer Map. :wink:

lol that is the majority of my 1000+ accepted nominations. this just became a lot less cool for me. but i love it for newer or pogo-only submitters. glad y’all are continuing to brainstorm new ways to engage people.

Edit: nvm

Wait, i was right the first time

well phooey

huh?


I will just wait and see what is or is not in the email if I get one.

Hi @NianticTintino

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it

Your answer already cleared up most concerns for me.

But I still don’t quite understand fully.

Let me give an example.

Let’s say a nomination I got accepted in Januari 2025, will I see the stats for that waypoint too or is it only for newer waypoints from the previous month that the stats will show in the Email?

Thank you again

It’s not necessarily the nominations, but the reviews they’re doing. If they are active and doing reviews, there should be a way for folks to opt-in on the forums so they are able to see the contributions they are making in reviews
