    199. Wayfinder Wishlist
    Nov 9 2025
    On this week’s episode of the Wayspotters Podcast… We’re diving deep into the Wayfinder Wishlist — the features and fixes we wish Niantic would bring to Wayfarer. After reading through the latest AMA and the 2026 Roadmap, we’ve got ideas that didn’t make the cut… but probably should have. We’re talking about: Full game visibility across all Niantic titles on the new Wayfarer map Smarter duplicate detection powered by eMiLy? Reviewer reputation stats and accuracy feedback Detailed rejection reasons Nomination and review streak rewards And even a nomination age indicator to track review delays Stick around for: ✅ Spatial / Scopely News ✅ What We Want ✅Wishlist in Action ✅ One’s Gotta Go — Cartoon Cats ✅ Wayspots / Coal of the Week ✅ Dad Jokes (of course!)

    198. Did We Actually Learn Anything?
    Nov 2 2025
    In this episode, Chris and Jamal break down Niantic’s latest Wayfarer AMA — and ask the big question: did we actually learn anything new? The hosts review key updates like the upcoming Wayfarer Map and Web Submissions, giving Wayfinders more control to view, filter, and submit nominations directly online. They also discuss the return of “Generic Business” rejections, the promise of better reviewer education in 2026, and the ongoing mystery behind that claimed 99% accuracy rate. It’s not all bad news — the Wayfarer Map looks genuinely exciting — but much of the AMA reads like “we’re still exploring.” The crew dives into what Niantic got right, what still feels like PR filler, and how the community has reacted so far. Tune in as we separate what’s progress, what’s promise, and what’s just… more waiting. Plus, don’t miss: ✅ Spatial / Scopely News ✅ The AMA Answers ✅Was it effective ✅ Wayspots / Coal of the Week ✅ Dad Jokes (naturally) 🎧 Show Credits Hosts: Jamal Harvey & Chris Bell Writer: Chris Bell Producer: Jamal Harvey Executive Producer: Kate Konz Show Historian: Matty G Recorded: October 16, 2025 Published: October 19, 2025 Season 4, Episode 40 💬 Contact Us 📧 ⁠⁠wayspotters@pokemonprofessor.com⁠⁠ 📞 Voicemail / SMS: 704-426-3710 💖 Support the Show 🎁 Patreon: ⁠⁠patreon.com/PokemonProfessor⁠⁠ 🌐 Website: ⁠⁠wayspotters.com⁠⁠ 📱 Follow Us Instagram: ⁠⁠@wayspotterspodcast⁠⁠ Twitter/X: ⁠⁠@wayspotters⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠@imakewayspots⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠@WayspottersPodcast⁠⁠ Twitch: ⁠⁠twitch.tv/pokemonprofessornetwork⁠⁠ 🧭 Community & Friends Wayfarer Discord: ⁠⁠discord.gg/niawayfarer⁠⁠ German Wayfarer Discord: ⁠⁠discord.gg/ThTZCZH5⁠⁠ Facebook Group: ⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/2241761169257836⁠⁠ Agent X on TikTok: ⁠⁠@agentx_wayfinder⁠⁠ Chris Bell’s Articles: ⁠⁠pokemongohub.net/post/author/glawhantojar⁠⁠ Niantic Wayfarer: ⁠⁠@NianticWayfarer⁠⁠ 🎵 Music Credits Intro: “Game Over” – Danijel Zambo (Music Vine) Break: Heavy Trap Drum Loops – Loopmasters Outro: “Itty Bitty 8 Bit” – Kevin MacLeod Additional: Spanish Hard Trap – Steve Oxen 🎤 Vocal Recordings © Pokémon Professor Network 2025 ⚡ Pokémon and all respective names © Nintendo 1996–2025.

    197. The Future Is on the Corner
    Oct 26 2025
    This week, Jamal and Chris dive into one of the most unexpected Wayfarer updates we’ve seen in a while — Niantic’s new “Street Corner and Bus Stop Experiment” happening in France, Italy, and Spain. The guys break down: What these new “Niantic-generated” Wayspots mean for the Wayfarer system. Whether this is a bug, a test, or a hint of a larger criteria change. How this experiment could affect reviewers and nominators, especially when it comes to “generic” locations or player expectations for quality and significance. The potential upside for rural and low-density areas, which could benefit from more accessible PokéStops and gameplay opportunities. And, of course, what safeguards Niantic might need to prevent spam or confusion in the review queue. They also cover this week’s Wayfarer news, including reports that Emily may be down again. Stick around for: ✅ Spatial / Scopely News ✅ What It Means for Criteria ✅Bus Stops & the Wayfarer Experiment ✅ One’s Gotta Go — Dad Stuff ✅ Wayspots / Coal of the Week ✅ Dad Jokes (of course!) 🎧 Show Credits Hosts: Jamal Harvey & Chris Bell Writer: Jamal Harvey Producer: Jamal Harvey Executive Producer: Kate Konz Show Historian: Matty G Recorded: October 23, 2025 Published: October 26, 2025 Season 4, Episode 41 💬 Contact Us 📧 ⁠wayspotters@pokemonprofessor.com⁠ 📞 Voicemail / SMS: 704-426-3710 💖 Support the Show 🎁 Patreon: ⁠patreon.com/PokemonProfessor⁠ 🌐 Website: ⁠wayspotters.com⁠ 📱 Follow Us Instagram: ⁠@wayspotterspodcast⁠ Twitter/X: ⁠@wayspotters⁠ TikTok: ⁠@imakewayspots⁠ YouTube: ⁠@WayspottersPodcast⁠ Twitch: ⁠twitch.tv/pokemonprofessornetwork⁠ 🧭 Community & Friends Wayfarer Discord: ⁠discord.gg/niawayfarer⁠ German Wayfarer Discord: ⁠discord.gg/ThTZCZH5⁠ Facebook Group: ⁠facebook.com/groups/2241761169257836⁠ Solstice: 🎧 ⁠Spotify Episode⁠ • 📸 ⁠Unsplash⁠ Agent X on TikTok: ⁠@agentx_wayfinder⁠ Chris Bell’s Articles: ⁠pokemongohub.net/post/author/glawhantojar⁠ Niantic Wayfarer: ⁠@NianticWayfarer⁠ 🎵 Music CreditsIntro: “Game Over” – Danijel ZamboBreak: Heavy Trap Drum Loops – LoopmastersOutro: “Itty Bitty 8 Bit” – Kevin MacLeodAdditional: Spanish Hard Trap – Steve Oxen 🎤 Vocal Recordings © Pokémon Professor Network 2025 ⚡ Pokémon and all respective names © Nintendo 1996–2025.
