'''Route 3''' is a rugged mountain road located in northwest [[Kanto]]. Its western terminus is at [[Pewter City]] and its eastern terminus is at the western foot of [[Mt. Moon]]. In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] games, the main character isn't allowed to set foot on Route 3 until [[Brock]] has been defeated.

==Route description==
For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level route. Heading east, trainers must turn north after the route opens up and progress east along the northern half that, in Generations I and III, is packed with trainers. The southern half of the route is only accessible by hopping down ledges that will lead trainers into the paths of more rival trainers.

East of the second pair of ledges, the route curves south before returning east near a large patch of grass containing [[wild Pokémon]]. This patch, which contains another trainer, follows the route until the path turns north ahead of a hill. From this point, the route makes a backward "S" curve, turning east, south, east and, finally, to the north, passing the second patch of grass on the route.

There are no obstacles along the remainder of the route as it proceeds north towards Mt. Moon. Just before the entrance to the cave, there is a [[Pokémon Center]], one of two in Kanto that is not located in a populated area (the other being on {{rt|10}} near the north portal of the [[Rock Tunnel]]). In [[Generation III]], {{m|Fly}} will be able to return to this location instantly, but not in previous Generations. In the center, a man attempts to scam trainers by selling the extremely common {{p|Magikarp}} for outrageous prices.

In {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the meteorites that change Deoxys's Forme are located on this route, likely due to its proximity to [[Mt. Moon]].

==Differences among generations==
===Generations I and III===
The only changes along Route 3 between these two Generations are cosmetic, such as the reconstruction of the surrounding landscape. Otherwise, the route design remains the same.

Image:Route 3.png|Route 3 in Generation III.
</gallery>

===Generation II===
Many changes were made to Route 3 in Gold, Silver and Crystal. First, the route was shortened significantly. Also, the number of trainers along the path was reduced to four. Similarly, the size of the grass patches were reduced by nearly 50%.

</gallery>

===Generation IV===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, an additional area at the southwest end of the route allows players to exchange their [[Form differences|current form]] of {{p|Deoxys}} by interacting with different meteorites. In addition, the number of trainers along the path was increased from four in Generation II to eleven. The [[Pokémon Center]] remains at the entrance of [[Mt. Moon]].

==Trivia==
* When [[Bug Catcher]] Colton first comes up to the {{player}} he says "I saw you in [[Viridian Forest]].", though there is no Bug Catcher named Colton in Viridian Forest. He also says "You beat me again!" after defeat. This is also true in the Japanese versions, as there is no Bug Catcher named Hisashi in Viridian Forest. This error is a carryover from Generation I, where no Bug Catcher, nor any other Trainer class aside from [[Elite Four]] members and [[Gym Leader]]s, had specific names (making it presumable that one could encounter the same Trainer twice in different areas).
