Route 11 (Japanese: １１番道路 Route 11) is a route located in eastern Kanto. It connects Vermilion City in the west to Route 12 in the east. The southeastern terminus of Diglett's Cave is located on this route.

Route description

From its junction with Route 12, Route 11 passes over a short bridge before heading west through a clearing in the forest that lines the west side of Route 12. The route becomes more built-up as it approaches a gate, becoming fenced on each side. This station is seen by some as the eastern terminus of Route 11.

Inside of the station in Generation I and Generation III, Trainers who have collected data on 30 or more Pokémon species in their Pokédex will be able to obtain the Itemfinder from one of Professor Oak's aide. In Generation VII, the aide gives them the judge function after collecting data on 30 or more Pokémon. Also, in Generation I and Generation III, a Trainer will trade a Nidorina or a Nidorino for the Pokémon of the opposite gender. The Pokémon requested varies by version. In Generation II, the gate has been torn down.

West of the station, the route is completely surrounded by grass patches. To avoid encounters with wild Pokémon, Trainers can follow beaten dirt paths through the field. The first such path begins just west of the gate. The path turns south before resuming a westward alignment and turning north to intersect a short path that travels to the west. The main path continues north, then west to come to a near four-way intersection. The north and south paths ultimately lead to a dead end surrounded by grass while the west path continues toward Vermilion.

Several paces west of the four-way intersection is another three-way junction. The two routes, which isolate a small patch of grass from the rest of the route, rejoin east of Diglett's Cave. In Generations I, III, and VII, the route runs along the north bank of a narrow channel as it meets the southern portal of Diglett's Cave and enters Vermilion. In Generation II, however, the junction that rejoins the two routes is located just east of the Vermilion City limits. The channel is also non-existent and Diglett's Cave actually emerges in east Vermilion.

In Generation IV, the southwestern exit leads to Vermilion City's eastern harbor.

Differences among generations

Route 11 in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Generations I and III

At the east end of Route 11 is a sleeping Snorlax, blocking not only Route 11 but also Route 12. To move it, a Trainer must play the Poké Flute to awaken the Pokémon.

Generation II

In the most noticeable change, the number of Trainers on the route had been cut from ten to four. Just as noticeable is the removal of the gate on the east end of Route 11 and the moving of Diglett's Cave from Route 11 to Vermilion City.

Generation IV

The layout of the route is different to previous generations. The Snorlax blocking the intersection between Routes 11 and 12 has been moved to the front of Diglett's Cave (which is now part of the route again instead of Vermilion as in Generation II). The method of moving Snorlax is the same as the Generation II games. A new hill is added in the west, before the entrance to Vermilion City. The road that goes through the tall grass is designed differently. The gate is present unlike Generation II. Fences are added as well as a new section at the southwest that leads to a new part of Vermilion. A signpost is added near the gate and the Berry tree, now replaced by an Apricorn tree containing a Grn Apricorn, has moved to the center of the route. Most of the trees placed in this route are backwards, as well as several other textures, compared to other locations.

Red, Green & Blue arc

Route 11 made an appearance in Wake Up—You're Snorlax!, where a bike race sponsored by Miracle Cycle went through here. The race started on Route 11, went through Route 12, and ended at the finishing line near Lavender Town.

The first hurdle was at a narrow bridge, with numerous Tentacruel swarming in the river below. A Swimmer used his Slowpoke to get across the river, while Red used his Poliwrath's Ice Beam to create himself an ice bridge.

Next Red decided to take a shortcut through a forest. Though a Bug Catcher warned Red not to enter the forest without a Repel, Red instead used his Pikachu's Thunder Shock to defeat all the Bug Pokémon they came across and Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf to cut through the dense trees. At one point, Bulbasaur accidentally attacked a Beedrill nest, causing Red and his Pokémon to be attacked by a swarm of angry Poison Bee Pokémon. Despite this setback, Red managed to bypass many competitors who hadn't taken the shortcut.

How I Became a Pokémon Card

Route 11 appeared in PW10, where a Bug Catcher passed through it on his way to Celadon City. The guard almost didn't let him pass through the gate, but thanks to a distraction provided by Blue, he was able to get through.

Trivia

• All the Gamblers/Gamers on this route use a type which is the same as that of a Kanto first partner Pokémon: Grass, Fire, Water, and Electric.
• Of the four Gamblers/Gamers on this route, one claims he has never won, and another claims he has never lost.
• Engineer Bernie uses a level 18 Magneton, even though Magnemite do not evolve into Magneton until level 30.
