Some Bulbapedia members have formed a project to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about Routes in the Pokémon World. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or, if you would like to join this project, you can sign up below.
Project Routes
Scope and aims
Project Routes covers all articles about Routes in the Pokémon World.
The ultimate goal is to create and standardize articles for every route, numbered and not numbered, such as Hoenn's Jagged Pass or Kanto's Diglett's Cave, that has been featured in the Pokémon games and anime. Currently, this project covers every route in the regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and the Sevii Islands.

How you can help
You can help by opening the List of Routes in the Pokémon World and selecting any route in red (which means that there is no article for it yet) and starting that article, or opening any route that you can provide more information about.
Most of the existing route articles need to be modified to comply with the project standard (see below). You can open Category:Route articles needing work and review what has been noted to need work there. Also, you can check Category:Route stubs to see which articles need expanding.
Routes in Category:Routes needing screenshots have been converted to the new standard but are missing screenshots for the infobox. You can open this category, see which routes are listed and, if possible, upload a screenshot of that route to Bulbagarden Archives. Once the image has been uploaded, the Template:Routeimage tag can be removed.
Bulbapedia:Project Routes/To-do list
Structure
Infobox information
Articles should use Template:RouteInfo, and all known info should be supplied. Route maps may be taken from [1], as they are fair use.
Main Section
Untitled section that describes the route. Depending on the route this section may just name the direction (E/W or N/S) and termination points, or may go into considerable detail. However, the majority of detail, should be reserved for the next section.
Route description
This section is for describing the route itself. The progression of the main path of the route should be described from north to south, east to west unless it makes more sense to describe the route using other directions, such as Routes 3 and 25.
Items
A list of items found on the route as well as a description of their location on the route.
Pokémon
A list of Pokémon that appear along the route as well as encounter rates and times of encounter if possible. Lists should be separated by Generation using third-level headlines. If the route appeared in only one Generation, then the Generation heading is not necessary.
On routes that have multiple ways to encounter Pokémon, they should be listed in this order:
- Grass (Sand in the case of Route 111; Seaweed for Underwater pathways)
- Fishing
- Surfing
- Rock Smash
- Headbutt
- Dive
Any of the above items that does not apply to the route does not need to be listed.
The list should take the form of the following:

There are already several good examples of how to set these up, one of which is Route 2.
Differences Among Generations
If the route was featured in multiple versions and Generations of Pokémon, the differences between those should be discussed here.
Any trainer tips that are displayed on signs on the route in question should be listed here.

External links
Place all external links which are not references here.
Categories
All articles should use the following categories:
- [[Category:(Region) locations|Route XXX]] where (Region) is either Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sevii, or Sinnoh
- [[Category:Routes|Route XXX]]
All articles should use the following categories where applicable:
- [[Category:Red, Blue and Yellow locations|Route XXX]]
- [[Category:Gold, Silver and Crystal locations|Route XXX]]
- [[Category:Ruby and Sapphire locations|Route XXX]]
- [[Category:Emerald locations|Route XXX]]
- [[Category:FireRed and LeafGreen locations|Route XXX]]
- [[Category:Diamond and Pearl locations|Route XXX]]
For all categories, XXX is the route number (i.e. Route 1 would be 001).
"Best-Practice" Articles
Best-practice articles have been set up at Route 2, Route 38 and Route 111. These articles will serve as the model articles for the rest of the project.
Goals
- To organize, standardize, and expand the articles on Routes in the Pokémon World.
- Numbered route articles should be named "Route N" where N is the route number. Non-numbered route articles should be named after the route in question.
List
The list page for Project Routes is List of Routes in the Pokémon World.
