Route 226 is a water route on the northeastern island of Sinnoh, that links Survival Area with Route 228 and Route 227, leading to Stark Mountain. There is only one place of note to visit on this route: the house on the island, inhabited by a multilingual traveling Meister.

Route description

If starting from the eastern end of the route, those wishing to cross Route 226 must first make their way through a brief patch of tall grass. Surfing around a few rocks, players will soon encounter the Meister's house. He is a multilingual traveler who lives alone in a house on a small island. Inside Meister's house, the player may trade a Finneon for a Magikarp. This apparently unfair trade will unlock the multilingual Pokédex entries option, as the Meister's Pokémon is German in origin. Certain Pokémon, once imported from non-English games, will display their Pokémon entries in the language of the country it has arrived. In Diamond and Pearl, the Pokémon and language lists are limited, but from Platinum, all Pokémon are supported by this feature.

The remainder of the route is simplistic in nature. There are a few Trainers with high-leveled Pokémon, and many wild Pokémon on both land and in the water. HM08 (Rock Climb) is required in order to access the Survival Area.

Trivia

• If the player has not collected any fishing rods, and brings only the Finneon required for the trade when he or she visits the Meister, he or she will be unable to continue any further in the game as Magikarp is unable to learn Surf.
