Pokémon world routes

Route 1 is a short north-south path located in west Kanto. Its northern terminus is at Viridian City and its southern terminus is at Pallet Town. The contour of the route is designed to be an express route heading south and a trek through numerous grassy areas heading north, both fitting considering the early portion of the storyline of Generations I and III takes trainers along Route 1 numerous times.

Route description

Heading south from Viridian, trainers can either hop down ledges to completely avoid any contact with wild Pokémon on their way to Pallet or they can travel through the grass patches, the required path for northbound travel. Following the grass-lined path, the route turns east then south as it enters the first patch. After a small break, the path of the route enters another patch of grass as the route turns west.

Route 1 then makes an "S", turning to the south, then to the east before returning south and west, passing through the third grassy area. The path then juts south, entering another patch before curving to the east then to the south as it enters Pallet.

There are no opponent Trainers on this route in Generations I and III. However, a man who works at the Poké Mart in Viridian City will give out a free sample of Potion to Trainers who chat with him. In Generations II and IV, the Poké Mart employee has been exchanged for two Trainers and a Bitter Berry/Black Apricorn.

Differences among generations

The route layout in Generations I and III are identical except for the fact that the Generation I version has grassy patches to both the east and the west of the route itself.

Generation I and III

The grass on the sides was removed since in Generation I, trainers could enter the grass using the walk anywhere glitch and, upon doing this, the game would freeze. This was because the grassy area contained no data for cities, routes, or even wild Pokémon, and the game would crash upon trying to retrieve the missing data.

Generation II

In Generation II, the route remains the same but two trainers have been added to the mix. Also, the Viridian Poké Mart employee is no longer present and a Bitter Berry tree has sprouted along the northwest portion of the route. Lastly, the grass patches outside of the route have been removed but the spacing between the route and the surrounding forest still remains.

Generation IV

In Generation IV, other than graphical updates, the route remains the same as Generation II but the number of trainers have been increased from two to five. Like Generation II, the Viridian Poké Mart employee is no longer present. The Bitter Berry tree has been changed into an Apricorn Tree. Lastly, a Lookout station is added between the route and Viridian City.
