Summary
APokemon GOplayer has made a really interesting observation related to the Sinnoh Stone, which is quite easy to miss despite semming so obvious in hindsight. ThePokemonfranchise is known for its secretive references spanning both the anime and the games, and this marks yet another instance where the creators had hidden an Easter egg for fans to find while playingPokemon GO.
One of the most notable allusions discovered lately was inPokemon Legends Arceus. Nintendo recently announced the next game in the franchise,Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which had caught the whole community by surprise. However, a fan discovered that the main character fromPokemon Legends Arceuswears a shirt similar to the one inX and Y, possibly hinting at the fact that the next game could be set in Kalos. While many thought it was just a homage to the games whenLegends Arceuswas released, it turned out to be much more significant than that. Now, aPokemon GOplayer has discovered an interesting connection to another game in the franchise.
In a post on thePokemon GOsubreddit, user Hawkster69 highlights how they discovered that the design of the Sinnoh Stone is inspired by the games set in the same region. The Sinnoh Stone is actually made of a piece of diamond and pearl, which issymbolic ofPokemon Diamond and Pearl. Considering that the Sinnoh Stone was released all the way back in 2018, it is quite surprising to see that a lot of other players in the community had missed this intricacy.
Pokemon GO Fans Realise Sinnoh Stone Is Not A Badminton Birdie
In fact, a lot of players mention that they had thought it was a badminton birdie, which has got the community in splits. That’s not all, either, as some even considered it to be aPokemon GOcandy, which is not surprising considering the fact that the diamond part of the stone resembles a wrapper to an extent.
Others have highlighted that this is not the only item that is influenced by the region’s respective games. For instance, the Unova Stone’s color isrepresentative ofPokemon Black and White. Unspurprisingly, there are quite a few detail-oriented players in the community who have already noticed this, with some of them jokingly suggesting that others would be surprised to see that a Sun Stone resembles the Sun. While this discovery might not be of much significance, it serves as a testament to the meticulousness of the franchise as a whole and has been appreciated by those who were previously unaware of it.
