Pokemon Gofans have reacted with disbelief after one player shared their near-completion of an “insane” six-year journey that has left the community stunned.
Posting a screenshot of their current Field Research progress onRedditaccompanied by the caption “6/7, just one more year!”, all five stamps were recorded as being obtained on July 28.
Only the first completedField Researchtask on any given day counts towards the weekly reward. Any additional objectives ticked off after the first provide rewards but no stamp.
To have obtained six consecutive stamps sporting the same date means the dedicated PoGo player completed just one quest a year for the last six years.
Naturally, responses were baffled by the impressive but functionally useless achievement, with one user responding, “Whaaaat, that’s insane. Weird Flex but kinda cool,” while another admitted there was “No way” they would “have the willpower to wait a whole year between tasks.”
“This is the most commitment I’ve seen to insanity in quite some time,” commented a different trainer, while others pointed out how many rewards the player would have missed by committing to the bit: “Dude you missed on a few years of Legendaries.”
Fortunately, the thread’s author wasn’t too bothered about FOMO, as they admitted, “It surely helps not being an active player anymore,” before adding that they’ve had an alarm set for the last six years as a reminder to log in and claim a stamp.
