In Pokémon GO, trainers around the world can participate in special events, which transport them to the universe of various key regions from the main saga. Thus, players can complete their Pokédex with Pokémon from different regions such as Sinnoh or Unova. Recently, users of the Niantic application realized that this very special objectcoming straight from Sinnoh, is in truth a tribute to video game licensing!
No, the Sinnoh stone is not a Badminton shuttlecock
The stones of each region are very useful to trainers for their evolutions. For example, the Sinnoh Stone makes Pokémon evolve into their evolutions that appeared in the fourth generation. In addition to some candies, the stones also evolve certain pocket monsters, and effectively fill the players’ Pokédex.
It was on Reddit that a mobile gaming enthusiast shared his observation. He realized only a few days ago that the Sinnoh stone was not a very pretty Badminton shuttlecock, but indeed a diamond and a pearl, the game title associated with the region. In the comments, many trainers are also surprised, and say they now realize that it is a nod to this extremely famous opus of the license. Once you see a Badminton shuttlecock, it’s hard to see anything else and notice the diamond and pearl!
“I just noticed that the Sinnoh Stone is literally a diamond and a pearl, like in the Sinnoh games.”

“That’s not the only wink”
One discovery sparked others in the comments of the Reddit post above. Indeed, the Sinnoh stone is not the only one to be inspired by games linked to these regions. For example, the color of the Unova Stone is representative of Pokémon Black & White. Of course, these seem like obvious nods to notice, but many trainers had not thought about it before discovering this post on social networks.
In comments, many users gently made fun of those who had not made the connection. One of them writes: “They will be so surprised when they see that the sun stone is a sun”. As you will have understood, dozens of trainers have learned a good thing thanks to this publication, and will surely see something other than a badminton shuttlecock when they have a Sinnoh stone in their inventory!
