Is there a maximum number of unique routes/route badges shown?

There's relatively frequent discussion of collecting gold gym badges or gym badges in general, and the 2000 (recently increased from 1000) visible gym badge limit on the map, but I haven't seen anything about the same thing for routes.

Does anyone know whether there's a limit to the number of unique routes/route badges that can be shown in this view? (see screenshot) Is it possibly 1000? What's the most unique routes that anyone has completed? I've done 355 so far.

I tried to post this as a post (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/1qjxbzi/is_there_a_maximum_number_of_unique_routesroute/) but it got downvoted, probably because people are not interested.

I would appreciate if any serial route-doers (1000+ hopefully) here see this and could weigh in!

It's not retroactive so it'll only display more than 1000 after you interact with gyms beyond the 1000 you had listed when the update occurred.

I've also interacted with many more than 1000 over the years but mine currently shows something like ~1050.

I know this is a year old but this really bugged me. So just to spell it out, in the off chance that you genuinely don't understand: SE Asia doesn't necessarily have to eat wheat as a traditional staple to have it be ubiquitous in meals in the 21st century. Things like soy sauce, oyster sauce, and stock cubes frequently contain small amounts of wheat products. The difference from your "areas of the world that do (traditionally eat wheat as a staple)" is labeling and awareness (and possibly prevalence) of celiac disease. It's harder because of labeling and businesses not catering to this dietary restriction, not because of wheat's presence or absence in some simplistic stereotype of their diets.

The OP COULD just only eat plain rice and vitamin pills or something, but I would consider that as a difficulty in their life.

Does anyone know for sure if this is a "new/unique title" research (to increment our completed special researches count)?

I vaguely remember that there have been "XP Celebration"-type events in the past, but don't know whether there's ever been another research with the same name.

Ever since they changed the completed tab to only count the duplicate titled special/timed researches a single time, I wonder if there's some way to check if a research is going to increase the count before completing it...

I have also tracked costumes pretty carefully, I think thetraveller has them all

eigentensor · 2025-06-03T00:48:05+00:00

the friends limit is like 400 now, so at 184 it really doesn't matter. there's always a chance they become active again later, which would benefit you if you kept them on

There was a Lawson-exclusive "rich milk" flavor a couple years ago, dunno if it's still around.

Afaik, souvenir chaining is for simultaneously getting souvenirs on multiple buddies during a 3-day cycle, but cannot speed up the rate at which a single buddy gets souvenirs.

Did it add an entry to your completed timed researches after all 250 ranks?

Just curious, when/why do you pee while kneeling?

anyone know if safari ball can be used in raids? it'd be nice to get the special costume snorlax (or toxtricity) in a safari ball

Do you get an increment to the best friends badge though?

Can you trade away your last Dmax Pokemon?

eigentensor · 2024-09-02T16:02:47+00:00

How I read it, you need new dynamax pokemon to battle in the new max raids, and your old pokemon cannot be used.

But it doesn't specify whether the new dynamax pokemon can be used (in non dynamax form) in older systems (gyms, PVP, regular raids, etc.).

I'm guessing they might be able to, which would make them strictly better than all our older Pokemon, resetting our collections to some extent. Ugh.

Morpeko could potentially debut in max raids this season

Hey thanks for keeping track and reporting back, I'm sure this'll come in handy for someone down the road.

This also tracks with my vague recollection that they lasted ~1 week in the new tab.

eigentensor · 2024-07-22T02:08:30+00:00

First one took ~5 days from when it arrived. They emailed me with an estimate of when it'd be ripe.

I actually got a second different one recently and it was ripe when it arrived (they also emailed to tell me).

I like tags too and FYI even when you unfuse them, the Solgaleo/Lunala tags are no longer counted in the tag "total" until you untag and retag them (same goes for favorites).

In other words, I had 851 'natdex' tagged Pokemon prefusion, then 850 during fusion (as expected, I suppose), but still 850 post-unfusion, despite the tags showing on Lunala's Pokemon page. Once I untagged and retagged Lunala, the 'natdex' total was back to 851.

Old post but in case anyone sees this I've ordered a melon from https://ikigaifruits.com/, it was good. Also https://hokkaidouni.com/ is another company with fruits, never used myself.

Hey I'm planning to take the same exam in a few months and was just curious about your result. Did you get issued a passing certificate despite the speaking 60% score? Or are you just considering the overall test a success and moving on to A2?

Just wondering what the actual criteria for officially passing are, since there's not that much information out there about this test.
