Wow Welcome to the forum

[K9Thought]

Huge number congrats, how many ish Wayspots have you submitted to get this?

[EeveeEvolved]

I counted back to 348 accepted wayspots in the last three years and three months and stopped because I wasn’t even halfway through the list so… a lot. I started submitting in April 2020.

I’ve just received the recognition email. Since I have submitted Wayspots in very varied areas (multiple contients, but mostly in nature reserves, a lot in and around a small town and very few in large cities), I’d like to know how those locations influence the overall Visit and Player counts, and for some, if they are used at all.

Therefore, I’d have a feature request: I’d like to nominate e.g. 5 Wayspots for which I’d receive the individual visit and player counts in the email for the next month.

[salixsorbus]

The numbers for visits and visitors were huge and actually quite scary. I’m glad to see people with similar numbers. My wayspots got over 20,000 visitors in September !?

[hankwolfman]

Considering that the majority of my submissions are in a medium sized town with a fairly small Pokémon Go community, I’m surprised these numbers are as high as they are. It’s nice to see the counts though!

[cyndiepooh]

I honestly thought this would be a lot higher. But I do tend to stay away from population dense areas.

to be clear, i still shared the screen snip on our local discord =)

I really wanted something that would let me share the award certificate on social media like X and invite everyone to join in.

It was extremely disappointing that they posted something meant for personal enjoyment instead.

[TrungLatias]

Still nothing :((((

[CrownFeather]

I’ll take the provisional lead for now🙂
I’ve been slacking off on submissions🙃

[ElfFromSpace]

Nice work! You’re one of only 2 I’ve seen so far that have more than me. I’m sure there are people in big areas with a lot of interactions. How many approved wayspots do you have? I have 1889 approved.

[llmiconll]

At tourist spots, it seems one trainer visits many PokéStops.

Approval counts are around 800.

[basaltic]

This seems really neat-- I’m excited to see how my stops have impacted the community! With that said, I had the email setting off to avoid spam. If I turn it on now, will I receive the email? Or will I have to wait for next month’s email to go out?
Still a fun concept.

Edit: Whelp, just saw the 48 hour part. Oh, well.

[CrownFeather]

Over 1800 is amazing. I’m not even sure if mine is 300, let alone half that. Mine was active in the central downtown area, so that should be reflected.

[RGTGO]

You can try emailing them after 48 hours

[TrungLatias]

Only 8320 players??? So small.

[P1dg3ySlayer]

Here’s the verdict from my email. I thought I had 16 nominations, so it seems I can’t count…

Also, I notice that my ign in the email is all in lower case. Not a big deal and am not triggered by it, but am wondering how I could get that changed?

[patsufredo]

I’ve disabled that email thingy, what’s my punishment? @NianticTintino
