Route 5 is a path running north to south from Cerulean City to Saffron City. In the games prominently featuring Kanto, the thirsty guard at the lookout station that separates Saffron from Route 5 will not let anyone pass through to Saffron until someone gets them a drink (Tea (Generation III); Lemonade, Water, or Soda Pop (Generation I)) from Celadon City.
Route description
Route 5 is a small pathway that is divided into three vertical parts: two pathways and a one-way, ledge and grass-filled middle that separate the two two-way paths. This middle section, accessible only from the Cerulean end, leads to the Pokémon Daycare just north of Saffron. The route is a simple north-south path with no turns other than those at the termini as it enters the cities of Cerulean and Saffron.
Route 5 can be accessed two ways from Cerulean City: by cutting the cut-able trees on the southern portion of the city, or by going around city from the house attacked by the Team Rocket grunt. At this point the route turns south, while Trainer's can choose between going down the ledges or by traveling around it. If Trainer's choose one of the pathways east or west of the ledged pathway, that will travel south until they get to the lookout station to Saffron City.
If Trainer's choose the ledged path, it is a one-way path around down the contoured hill. If a Trainer jumps the first ledge, they must travel south, jumping the two other ledges and traveling through the small patches of tall grass after each route. Once Trainer's have clear the two remaining ledges, there stands a small house of an old man running a Pokémon Daycare. Pokémon in the Day Care gain one experience point per step the player takes. It is free to put a Pokémon into the Day Care, and costs $100 plus an additional $100 for each level gained to take a Pokémon out.
There is also an Underground Path on the south-eastern corner of Route 5 that passes under Saffron and comes out on Route 6 in the south, north of Vermilion City. This path is to allow Trainers and other people to pass Saffron without traveling through the city itself, which comes to a convenience during the period when the the Officers at the city's lookout stations are thirsty and will not let anyone through.

Differences among generations
In Generations I and III, the layout is the same. In Generation II, however, the route was shortened slightly with the number of grass patches reduces from three to two and the Pokémon Daycare removed to the Goldenrod City area on Route 34. In Generation IV, the number of grass patches is reduced to one, and the layout has changed.
Trivia
- This is where Ash Ketchum caught his Bulbasaur. The Hidden Village is also somewhere on this route.
