Route 2 is a north-south route located in west Kanto. The northern terminus of the route is at Pewter City. Its southern end is located at Viridian City. Route 2 has been featured in every Generation of Pokémon video games, with slightly different depictions based on the Generation.
Route description
This is a description of the route as it is shown in Generations I and III. For a description of the Generation II version of Route 2, see Differences Among Versions.
Heading south from Pewter, the route passes the first of two grass patches along the path as it turns to the west. At this point, trainers can take two routes to progress south. The first option is to remain on the main path of Route 2 and travel through the guard house and into Viridian Forest, a considerably long and inconvenient detour unless catching Bug-type Pokémon is the objective of the trainer. The second option, available to trainers who possess Pokémon that know and can use Cut outside of battle, is to remove a small shrub southeast of the grass patch to gain access to the eastern half of Route 2.
While the western half of Route 2 progresses through Viridian Forest, the east branch meets the northern terminus of Diglett's Cave, a lengthy northwest-southeast tunnel that leads to Vermilion City via Route 11. South of the cave, the first building on the route plays home to a trainer who is looking to part ways with a rare Mr. Mime in exchange for a Clefairy or an Abra. After taking out another tree, the route begins to slope downhill as it approaches a lookout station. Here, trainers that have at least 10 Pokémon types registered in their Pokédex can receive HM05, containing Flash, from one of Professor Oak's aides.
South of the lookout station, the western portion of the route emerges from the Forest and passes near the second grass patch on the route as it heads south. Meanwhile, the eastern portion continues downhill, linking to the Western path in two locations via tree-blocked passageways before ending at a dead end south of the second tree. Now a single path once again, Route 2 travels to the south towards Viridian.
