In Pokémon GO there are many different routes. A very curious variation has been discovered by a trainer who directly experienced what it’s all about.
Routes are one of the features in Pokémon GO that some trainers have no interest in. However, they are important if you want to find Zygarde Cells.
A trainer has discovered a particularly curious route and showcased it on Reddit. The community subsequently provided a valuable tip.
Route in the “Tangela Motiv”
What kind of route is this? As the trainer writes in his post, he discovered the route near his location. What’s interesting is the course of the route.
While routes usually cover a stretch from point A to point B and ideally pass through beautiful areas, the route that the trainer discovered runs in a small area back and forth.
The trainer himself calls it the “Spaghetti Route” and notes that it is in the “Tangela Motiv”.
We are embedding the Reddit post here for you:
What strategy is behind the route? In his post, the trainer notes that he had trouble following the route in the game. The trainer’s steps were not registered correctly.
The trainer Winter_Leg_4243 has a response on how to complete such routes. He writes:
This kind of route offers real advantages.
You start the route, activate “Adventure Sync”, close the app, put the phone in your pocket, and jog in place for a while. Open the app. It registers the 500 meters and your route is completed without having to move. Some people create such routes to complete their daily distance from home.
The trainer wdn also gives a hint on completing the route. He writes:
To complete a route, you only need to start at the starting point, arrive at the endpoint, and cover the distance in between – you don’t have to follow the path at all. Also, there is no speed limit for routes, so any slight GPS deviation counts.
What else does the community say? Besides these hints for completing such routes, there are further comments under the post. Some of them refer to the fact that many routes are rejected by trainers and do not make it into the game.
- “Genius. In a terrible way,” writes ProfessionalAd2911
- “How can such applications even be approved??? I submitted one in my hometown and had to appeal the rejection because it supposedly “went through private properties“, even though it was just a lawn,” wonders Haunting_Economics22
- “I see so many questionable routes and PokéStops, and still my application is denied every time I try to submit something in my remote village…” questions silverbullet1989
- “That’s really frustrating, lol. Half of the PokéStops I see in the UK are mailboxes. And still, I get automatic rejections for landmarks, public green spaces, and even mailboxes in my own damn village. And then people post routes like this and I could scream, lol,” notes silverbullet1989.
