A Pokemon GO player who left their Shiny Gible in a gym has realized that getting them back could prove to be a problem. They shared their thoughts with other Pokemon GO fans, who seemed largely sympathetic, and offered some idea of how long the player might have to wait. While it's not mandatory by any means, participating at Pokemon Gyms offers a lot of benefits to players. If a player comes across a gym that's controlled by another team, they can fight the Pokemon there to take over the gym for their own team. When happening upon a gym that's already controlled by one's own team, the player can choose to support the Pokemon there or add their own if there's a vacancy. This is what one player did far from home, only to realize that they might not get their rare Pokemon back.
Pokemon GO Players Make Surprise Realization After 6 Years

A Pokemon GO player has made a really interesting observation related to the Sinnoh Stone, which is quite easy to miss despite semming so obvious in hindsight. The Pokemon franchise 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 playing Pokemon GO.
One of the most notable allusions discovered lately was in Pokemon 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 from Pokemon Legends Arceus wears a shirt similar to the one in X 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 when Legends Arceus was released, it turned out to be much more significant than that. Now, a Pokemon GO player has discovered an interesting connection to another game in the franchise.
In a post on the Pokemon GO subreddit, 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 is symbolic of Pokemon 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.
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 a Pokemon GO candy, 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 is representative of Pokemon 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.
