Route 20 is an east-west water route located in southern Kanto. Of the three water routes in Kanto, Route 20 is the longest in length. The eastern terminus is at Route 19 east of the Seafoam Islands, while the western end is at Cinnabar Island. The Seafoam Islands lay in the center of the route.

Route description

From the southern entrance to the caves underneath Seafoam (guarded by a trainer in Generation III), Route 20 curves west, passing south of Route 19's western terminus through a narrow channel before expanding to the width of Route 19 west of Seafoam Island. In every Generation, there is a small rest platform just west of Seafoam Island (though this has become an island in Generation III). This rest area is occupied by a trainer in Generation I and Generation III.

Depending on the Generation, the layout of Route 20 between this point and Cinnabar varies. In every Generation, however, the essence is constant, as the route continues directly west to Cinnabar, where it encircles the island and meets Route 21 on Cinnabar's north side.

Generation I

From the rest station, there are three more trainers, two of which are located very close to each other, before arriving at Cinnabar. There are also two more trainers along Route 20, one near the western shore of Seafoam Island and another just south of the Seafoam entrance on Route 20 in the water.

Generation II

The only item of interest between the rest station and Cinnabar is a lone trainer southwest of the platform.

Generation III

Unlike previous Generations, Generation III featured no less than four rest islands, two of which contain trainers. From the rest island present in all Generations west, the route passes north of a small island (with trainers directly to the north and west of it) before heading south of the largest rest island on the route, north of another small island with a trainer and north of another trainer before coming to Cinnabar.

Differences among generations

In addition to the changes noted in the Route description, Route 20 saw other changes in Generation II.

Generation II

The length of Route 20 was cut by half in the second Generation, which likely resulted in the number of trainers being cut to one. Also, the labyrinth of rocks that were present around Seafoam, prohibiting direct access to Route 19 from Route 20 and vice versa, were removed. Lastly, the southern entrance to Seafoam Islands became a Pokémon Gym to compensate for the loss of the Gym on Cinnabar, which was destroyed in a volcano eruption.
