202. Wildest of Speculations

In this episode, Chris and Jamal dive into a chaotic week in Wayfarer, starting with a broken rollout of the new web submission system and Niantic’s quick rollback. Then the guys dig into a surprising datamine revealing two new conditional quest types — and what that might mean for the future. Are we finally getting Wayfarer special research? Is this Scopely’s influence? Or are we just headed toward MOAR STOPS? They also explore rumors around possible temporary or daily PokéStops, what they could look like across Niantic games, and all the potential upsides and chaos they might bring. Plus: two stellar Wayspots of the Week, and a particularly sooty Coal of the Week. Another fun, speculation-heavy episode you don’t want to miss!
