Pokémon world routes

Route 16 is an east-west route located in central Kanto. The eastern end of the route is at Celadon City. Its western terminus is at the northern tip of Route 17 on Cycling Road.

Route description

Main path

Like Route 18 at the southern end of Cycling Road, Route 16 runs directly east-west for its entire length.

Five paces outside Celadon, a Cut-able tree blocks a passage leading to the north half of Route 16. Several paces west of this spot, Route 16 narrows before widening just east of a lookout station. In this station, trainers are forced to board their Bicycle or, in the event that they do not own a Bicycle, are forced to return east to Celadon. In Generation III only, one of Professor Oak's aides is present at this station, giving trainers who have collected data on at least 40 Pokémon an Amulet Coin. West of the station, Route 16 becomes part of Cycling Road.

Now on the bike path, the remainder of the route is filled with Bikers possessing mostly Template:Type2 Pokémon. Near the middle of the group, Route 16 turns south for a short distance before becoming Route 17 north of Route 17's grassy area.

A sleeping Snorlax is often found at the point where Route 16 becomes narrow in Generation I and Generation III. To move him, trainers must play a Poké Flute to awaken the Pokémon.

Northern half

The northern half of the route proceeds directly north of the Cut-able tree before turning west at the lone patch of grass on Route 16. In Generation III only, just west of this patch are a pair of trainers. Five paces west of the grass is the north half of the lookout station.

On the other side of the station, which does not require trainers to ride a bike in this area, the only item of interest is a house, used as a secret resort, owned by a reclusive trainer. In exchange for keeping her whereabouts a secret, she will give trainers HM02, Fly.

The route terminates in a dead end just west of the house.

Differences among generations

Generation II

The route was shortened by nearly half in Generation II. Also, every trainer was removed from the route and the lookout station on the northern path was eliminated. Finally, the recluse trainer is no longer present and may have moved to Route 28.

The amount of grass was also reduced.

Generation IV

In Generation IV, the route increased in length slightly and due to this had its layout tweaked. The route starts out as a straight path exiting Celadon City and then turning south and going down a longer path with the cut-able tree from all previous generations leading to the side path on the left side of the end of the main path. The path then turns west again and up two sets of stairs into the guard house. Like Generation II, there are no trainers to be found. The rest of the route is the same as Generations I and III.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Route 16 has appeared in Tauros the Tyrant, The Jynx Jinx and A Tale of Ninetales in the Red, Green & Blue Chapter. When it first appeared Team Rocket was after Green and Red had disquised himself as a Team Rocket Grunt. Team Rocket wanted a disc of Mew that Green had stolen so they could make their Monster. Team Rocket had surrounded Green with grunts and a Machamp, Hitmonlee and a Graveler but it didn't work, until Koga had a Tauros that with one swish of its tail can hypnotise a Pokémon. It worked well until it backfired and all their Pokémon were after Team Rocket.

Next Mew had appeared and Team Rocket used a Jynx to capture Mew but didn't succeed. Next Red and Blue had switched Pokémon by bumping into eachover. Suddenly a rampaging Graveler, Rhydon and Marowak were attacking some girls, but Blue's Pokémon were not listening to Red causing them to lose. 3 days later Red had only captured a Krabby and a Diglett, but just then Red saw a Ninetales and Pikachu under the ownership of Blue had learned a move called Tail Strike. Red suddenly used Blue's Machamp which evolved into a Machamp. Red wanted the captured Ninetales but Blue snatched it off him.

Trivia

In Generations I and III, Route 16 technically has the second-largest lookout post after the Pokémon League Reception Gate, it being a theoretical two-way intersection outside of Celadon City.
