Route 1 is a short north-south path located in west Kanto. Its northern terminus is at Viridian City and its southern terminus is at Pallet Town. The contour of the route is designed to be an express route heading south and a trek through numerous grassy areas heading north, both fitting considering the early portion of the storyline of Generations I and III takes trainers along Route 1 numerous times.
Route description
Heading south from Viridian, trainers can either hop down ledges to completely avoid any contact with wild Pokémon on their way to Pallet or they can travel through the grass patches, the required path for northbound travel. Following the grass-lined path, the route turns east then south as it enters the first patch. After a small break, the path of the route enters another patch of grass as the route turns west.
Route 1 then makes an "S", turning to the south, then to the east before returning south and west, passing through the third grassy area. The path then juts south, entering another patch before curving to the east then to the south as it enters Pallet.
There are no opponent trainers on this route in Generations I and III. However, a man who works at the Poké Mart in Viridian City will give out a free sample of Potion to trainers who chat with him.

Differences Among Generations
The route layout in Generations I and III are identical except for the fact that the Generation I version has grassy patches to both the east and the west of the route itself.
In Generation II, the route remains the same but two trainers have been added to the mix. Also, the Viridian Poké Mart employee is no longer present and a Bitter Berry tree has sprouted along the northwest portion of the route. Lastly, the grass patches outside of the route have been removed but the spacing between the route and the surrounding forest still remains.
