Its been a long time since I could comfortably call myself a hardcorePokemon Goplayer.
Then the pandemic happened.
I moved house, out of a bustling city centre and into a quiet suburb.
As lockdowns lifted, Pokemon Go communities never recovered.
Id be lucky to get five dedicated Raiders on any given city centre excursion.
However,I still play on holiday.Even in countries where the game is banned.
It involved following the new Routes feature in the game, which barely worked.
In my suburban area, they were hard to come across.
Tired, bored, and fed up, I threw in the towel.
However, Pokemon Go is different in Japan.
The Showcases are full, the Raids are busy, and the Routes make sense.
The first Route I followed provided me with that green glow.
My first Zygarde Cell.
Perhaps Routes were bugged on release, I thought to myself.
Perhaps Id missed all the obvious signs.
One down, 249 to go.
I followed more Routes, as the next research step required me to follow five to completion.
Perhaps my game wasnt bugged back in 2023.
Perhaps theyre just this rare.
Zygarde Is Pokemon Gos Most Pointless Quest
Changing Zygardes form is just too Zyg-hard for me.
I dont want to do it.
I gave up hunting Zygarde Cells in Japan,a country where Pokemon Go is better than any other.
I applaud anyone who has collected enough Cells to get an Origin Forme Zygarde in Pokemon Go.
You have far more patience than I.
But I must ask one thing: was it worth it?
Was the reward worth all those Routes you followed?
All those directionless paths that led you directly away from where you really wanted to go?
I hope so, I really do.
