Route 15 is a lengthy east-west route located in southeast Kanto. Its eastern terminus is at Route 14. The western terminus is just west of a lookout station separating Route 15 from Fuchsia City.

Route description

The route is separated into two halves by a long ledge, placing the northern half on a hill. The northern half can be accessed by using Cut to remove a tree at its eastern entrance on Route 14. Trainers can travel from the northern half to the southern half at any time by hopping the ledge; however, the reverse is not possible.

Northern half

Only two items of interest are present on the hill: trainers and an item. In Generation III, the number of trainers was raised from one in Generation I and Generation II to four. The change is sensible considering that by using the northern half of the route, trainers can avoid a collection of no less than eight trainers (six trainers in Generation II) on the southern half.

In Generation I, the trainer is located in the center of the hill and the item ball contains TM20, Rage. Generation II removed the trainer from the hill and replaced TM20 with PP Up. Lastly, in Generation III, the trainers were spread out evenly over the western two-thirds of the route and the item of choice was TM18, Rain Dance.

The hill comes to an end just east of the lookout station, where trainers are forced to hop down to the southern half.

Southern half

The south half of Route 15 runs directly east-west between Route 14 and Fuchsia.

From the eastern terminus, the main path of the route passes the first of four grass patches that lines the ledge that separates the route. The first two trainers on the route (only the first in Generation II) are located here.

After a brief break in the grass, another patch begins near the next two trainers on the route. Five paces to the west, the second patch ends and the route encounters its largest area without grass. Two more trainers, as well as the Route 15 signpost, are found in this section.

Ten paces to the west, the third patch begins, followed by another brief break near another trainer and, finally, by the fourth and final grassy patch near the last trainer on the route.

The lookout station is located roughly four steps west of the final grass area. In the station, an aide of Professor Oak will give the main character an item if they've registered at least 50 Pokémon in their Pokédex. In Generation I, this item is an Exp. All. In Generation III, the item is an Exp. Share. There is no such reward in Generation II.

On the other side of the station, Route 15 continues for several paces before officially entering Fuchsia.
