Route 8 (Japanese: ８番道路 Route 8) is a route located in eastern Kanto. It connects Saffron City in the west to Lavender Town in the east. The eastern terminus of the Underground Path is located on this route.

Route description

Route 8 is a unique route traveling along east to west from Lavender Town to Saffron City. The dirt road between the two towns winds around in a sideways "S" pattern, traveling past fields and meadows. Starting from the eastern side, Trainers exit Lavender and make their way west, where they come to a forest of trees blocking the path, which must be avoided by turning south and then west again to continue on though the route. The route then makes its way north past a field closed off by a fence, which can be entered from a small gap which is filled by a cuttable tree.

If Trainers enter the field with Cut^{RBYGSCFRLGHGSS} or the Secret Technique Chop Down,^PE they will come up to a spotted patch of tall grass surrounded by red flowers; this is the only patch of tall grass on the route. Rare, Version-exclusive Pokémon such as Growlithe^RGCFRHGP and Vulpix^BSLGSSE inhabit the tall grass. There is another small gap which is filled by another cuttable tree on the western side of the field that Trainers can exit, cutting the corner around the field.

At the western end of the route travelers can either continue west or head north. The western path goes through a gate to Saffron City; this will not be opened until later in the game in Generations I, III, and VII. Passage will be granted once the guard in the gate has had a drink^RBY or the Key Item Tea.^FRLGPE The northern route is the one players must first traverse in Generations I, III, and VII. It bypasses Saffron City via an Underground Path and heads further west to Celadon City.

In Generations II and IV, the gate to Saffron City is open and the Underground Path is closed.
