It has been a week of ups and downs in the Pokémon GO Community, as major news has come out of the Wayfarer camp. With only 2 days notice, Niantic Spatial has officially spun off, and Ingress is no longer connected to the Wayfarer system. This could have a huge impact on the future of the Pokémon GO gameboard, as PGO Trainers have relied on Ingress Agents to be the watchdogs of the map for years. Only time will tell how this will turn out.
We start off with a recap of the last week of gameplay including Spring Into Spring, Sparring Partners Raid Day, and the launch of the Horizons Event. Combinations of mechanics, old and new Pokémon, and new Shinies have given us plenty to engage with. Surprisingly, Sparring Parters Raid Day went over well with many Trainers tracking down Mega Heracross, while the egg locked Tinkatink has those on the single incubator grind sweating a bit.
Niantic has done a great job with giving us advanced notice on events, as GMAX Snorlax, DMAX Entei, Sweet Discoveries, Vanillite Community Day and Mega Kangaskhan Raid Day are coming our way fast. Plenty of gameplay, plenty of tickets. The $2 ticket doesn’t seem all that bad on its own, but when there are 4-6, $2 tickets a month, things really start to add up. With Max Battle and Raid Day tickets coming in at $5 a ticket, our wallets continue to be opened week after week.
With all that is going on with Wayfarer, we wonder if some Trainers will enjoy the bliss of not really being aware of the news, while others will take a proactive approach to keeping the map updated and accurate. Hopefully we see a strong group of PGO Wayfinders step up in order to compensate for the loss of Ingress players, especially in the reviewing process, as things with the PGO map may come to a screeching halt without them.
