This week, Jamal and Chris dive into one of the most debated updates yet... AED PokéStops in Japan.
They break down what AEDs are, why Niantic may be adding them to the map, and the real-world impact this could have on player awareness and emergency preparedness. From clear pros like life-saving visibility and more stops… to concerns around safety, crowding, and unintended behavior, this one sparks a serious debate.
The conversation also expands into a bigger topic—should the Wayfarer map be global, or shaped by local communities? And is this even a Wayfarer issue at all… or just another example of the Pokémon GO team doing their own thing?
Plus:
All that, plus hockey talk, dad jokes, and the usual chaos.
Stick around for:
✅ Spatial / Scopely News
✅ Wayspots / Coal of the Week
✅ Dad Jokes (of course!)
