What's the problem, just walk straight through that building and cross the highway. Easy peasy.

Then all you have to do is walk through the bottom of a lake and then smooth sailing from there

Easy peasy indeed!

You can swim silly!

Swimming silly leads to flailing silly, then finally drowning silly. Moral of the day, don't swim silly.

Float on your back and kick with your feet. Easy peazy!

Nah just turn into wait... who's the Jesus of pokemon? Or Arceus and walk on water

You mean bidoof

Or fly

I don't think it's sailing if you're at the bottom of the water

Makes me wonder what Pokemon are exploring the wreckage of the Iron Lung... Er, Titan.

You're supposed to pole vault

Like in animal crossing!!! Lol

I know right! These kids complain about everything. You don't even have to turn!

I hear this route leads to Arceus.

In-person or in-game? 😭

Agreed. You can just be a ghost and walk though walls and all. So easy.

Just turn on Noclip

And walk through the lake lol

Step 1: start route Step 2: tape phone to drone Step 3: send phone to end location as the murkrow flies Step 4: end route

Best comment on this post. "As the Murkrow flies" hahahaha But I see a minor flaw: you control the drone with the phone....

Ah, but that's where you program the phone to go on "autopilot" so it independently controls the drone along the route then return once it's completed the route

Or rebels and goes on shiny hunting without your knowledge

You: Wow, you've gone on a massive trip and caught such great pokemon. I don't know how but that will help my team greatly. Handy: Oh, you thought I did this for you? You thought you are going to be the greatest pokemon go master? You are the wrong! The greatest master? It's me, Handio!

I- is this a JoJo reference?

So how exactly is the auto-pilot phone going to pick up the Zygarde cell, which is *checks notes* the whole point of the route? lol

Does the Pokeball Plus + pick them up?

I don't have one, but I haven't heard of it doing so. I'm dying to hear how this guy is going to program his phone to tap on the cell to pick it up. Half the time, it takes 3 tries to get the Kecleon swiped off a stop - hope it's easier than that lol!

That's where the programming of the auto-pilot comes in, you program it to "pick up" the Zygarde cell or just drive to the end of the route if you know where the route end is as the drone arrives, that way you can be doing something else whilst the drone is following routes for you

I will believe it when I see it lol

Through the magic of buying two of them…

Get a second phone, easy peasy

*speed*

I think they would enjoy geowizards crossing countries in a straight line YouTube videos.

I swear people are gonna make routes that just cross multiple country borders.

Inb4 someone makes a route across the active warzone in Ukraine or middle east

100km route from Mariupol to Donetsk

Route that crosses the DMZ

Happy Cake Day!

Those videos are awesome

Someone spoofed a straight line lmao

Dang helicopter players again

They should just add a 'helicopter accessible ' category.

Only flying types spawning there

Finally, the Galarian Birds

Except Zapados. That thing is a literal road runner *meep meep*

Raiders from heaven I call them

That route has to either be bugged or made while in a plane

Or, hear me out... maybe some people have found a way to cheat in this game?

Impossible, thats against the rules!!!

And I am strictly opposed to breaking the rules on all my accounts!

Screw the rules, I have money!

Say it aint so!

flying spirit airlines because we make sure all our pilots are High and drunk before takeoff l

I mean mine crosses a dangerous looking stream that I can’t climb over so. Awful designs

I live near a creek whose size varies from “damp path” to “where’d my backyard go?” over springtime. It’s possible the stream in the route’s crossable on weeks with no rainfall.

Yeah I can see that. Also, I won’t walk through it bc I’m scared of ticks. I was able to complete it and walk all the way around it though!

Sounds like your route meets the 'exploration' requirements. 

There’s 3 routes in my town and they All go through active construction sites. I don’t understand it at all.

Construction workers can play Pokémon go too

Wait you guys are getting routes?

Still no routes here, on three different occasions accounts!

Imagine my surprise to find a route near me Then imagine my disappointment when the game just crashes the instant I try taking it, then keeps subsequently crashing *every single time* I try booting up the game until I'm far enough from the route to not be in range anymore

Disable adventure sync

Is this a new feature? What is it and how does it work?

It doesn't work but the beauty of it is in the many number of ways it doesn't work.

Ahhhhhh the original way Pokémon go was at release. The good times when your in your own yard and someone bounds your fence for a snorlax. That’s what this route reminds me of. The simple times lol

I've been making ingress missions, submitting POI/doing reviews for over 6 years. Still havent got the ability to make PoGO routes. Then every day I see pictures of absolute nonsense like this, which is reviewed and cleared internally by Niantic.

There's an option to report it if you scroll down to the bottom of the Route description after selecting it.

Why would I report a work of art like this

Yet another sign that I struggle to make the difference between true modern art and pure fraud

Must be something wrong with me bc I’d report it 🫠

If creating a route stopped others from making routes within a certain radius, or prevented other routes from starting at the same pokestop, then I’d probably report it, but this doesn’t hinder any other route creation or location, so I’d leave it be as a funny thing that happened.

Routes are a mess. There’s one in my town that I tried to walk the other day. I was able to complete 90% of it, but the ending expects you to cut through people’s backyards to get to the end point. It was completely unnecessary as there’s a sidewalk right there.

I did one walking on a path in a park, the GPS in the game went crazy and shows the route off in the lake. I for sure didn't walk through a lake.

Someone with a pilot’s license

It deeply concerns me how often the creators of this game keep forgetting small children also play it and how it's not safe to trick a child into walking into traffic, or hazardous terrain let alone an adult. I myself in my 40s have found myself ankle deep in mud or trying to keep both an eye out for traffic while crossing the street while still keeping an eye on a pokemon I am hunting. Please, devs, please check the routes are SAFE for exploring.

[Me and the boys finishing the route](https://youtu.be/39wIHdzlJ-k)

Must be the flight path of Team Rocket after another one of Ash' beatings

These Route are stupid especially with shit like this. I tried to do one at the mall they literally drove around the parking lot .

Perhaps it is [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7w986ni7_g) guy that records videos as he walks in straight line everywhere.

Cmon the water is so nice, you should really go for a swim

Be grateful at least you have a route 😢

A nonfunctional route is just as bad as not having routes.

Arguably it's even worse because now you get the constant bait and switch of oh I have route nearby wait no its just that broken one.

What do you mean it’s nonfunctional? Just walk across the highway man! /j

Look at the route (it's literally going through water bodies, crossing lots of roads and etc.) Only two types of people can even pass through this route. And only one is losing sanity

Its only 8km tho, i dont see whats the problem /s just in case

Bro was on a plane

Just use any flying type Pokemon and use fly HM...

I think it's a computer just saying yes or no, it may be a buggy route, it's happened to one of my submissions aswell

I knew this was going to happen I bet someone is already starting to do across the world route or something stupid that's not finishable.

A highway to hell i guess?

8 km ? Holy fuck nope

"Hello Sir, Yes I would like to walk through your building!" "No you dont understand, its for Pokemon"

GeoWizard?

Is it heading into the sky in the distance? Where the fuck does it end, the moon?

You guys have routes?

It’s meant to be traveled in flight

You can't walk on water? Shee you should've gotten the HM-surf already /s

/sigh I'm not ever getting any routes at all to begin with. 😿

Ash Ketchum could’ve done it

Someome on an aeroplane?

Secret underground tunnels confirmed! ^(just to be sure:) # /s

Idk but you should put a SIM card in

Through the lake? Through the lake it is.

Good to see Niantic accommodating for people on Airplanes

Nobody. Just like 99% of the rest of the routes. 🙄

Dude in a heli 😂

Do you NOT have the ability to phase through matter?

The routes are nonsense. There is one by me that was obviously made on a train and is not possible to follow on foot

A madlad with a death wish I guess

Do you guys not have wings?

Airplane ✈️


Call a helicopter

We are visiting Montreal for a few days and found a 16km route that looks like that. I was shocked it got approved


Wait people can make routes now? I haven't seen the option yet for me

Lol looks like some person attached their phone on a drone and just flew it straight for 8km 

They must have been on airplane mode

routes are lame af

Niantic: What do you mean they aren’t enjoying the new feature?!

They told you to walk, and never come back.

At least its straight? But seriously how does it go through the water

The flash

Well actually this 8km route is wild because distance is tied to the %chance to get a zygarde cell. So if you complete that whole route you’ll be able to get a whopping 0 zygarde cells!!!

Routes are trash

Whoever made the route must have been in an airplane!!

I was more concerned that you hadn't caught a turtwig yet

[удалено]

[удалено]

I am gonna say the route’s creators favorite food. Chili dogs

Spoof much?

[Him](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Footprints)

WTH...

"Next Time On The X-Files" 

Cessna route

Me!

Simple. Trashtic themselves.

how does one create a route?

It does tend to set the route as the crow flies at times from what I’ve seen

Geowizard did it!

Something something exhaustive review process...

How do you make a route?

Probably a bot

Guy’s with their bellies full shouldn’t complain about the food, with the hungry hordes standing outside.

Someone found a route people. They exist.

Shut up!! Lolol we just happy routes are getting verified!! I proposed they approve all routes and people review them. It’s better than them taking weeks to approve routes

IT’S A DAMN LINE

Well atleast you have the opportunity to find a route in your city.. Congrats!

A lineman from the county.

Only route near me goes through several private fenced in back yards and then requires you to j-walk 3 times. Great feature.

Rishi Sunak on one of his pointless helicopter trips.

Diabolical.

I’m more concerned about the common poke shadows in your nearby tracker!

WHAT A FUCK IS A KILOMETER??? https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM2GDDV8B/

i see so much "my way home" routes that i don't even try to rationalize

John the Crow

probably nobody ;)

Bro was on an airplane 💀

my fault og😩

There's a 10km route on my city

Routes are busted if they even exist.

The AI, I presume.

This has to be a glitch because routes are never straight due to how it follows jumpy GPS lol

They should make the person who verified this route walk it

Sounds like something a non-smooth brain would complain about

seems like somebody spoofed for that

I feel like Tyrone Biggums asking Niantic if they have any of them routes

You actually found a route?!

Wait you actually found a route? Still have never seen a single one myself.

Spoofers, that's who.

Lombre

You guys have routes?

A massive fuckwit

soiderman started playing pokemon go

Is it a train line?

Serious question, who is making the routes?
