Route 7 (Japanese: 7ばんどうろ Route 7) is a route in central Kanto, connecting Celadon City and Saffron City. The western end of the Underground Path is located on this route.

Route description

Route 7 is an extremely short east-west route; in fact, it is the shortest route in any region of the Pokémon world, serving only to connect Saffron City in the east to Celadon City in the west. From the gate separating Saffron from Route 8, the route heads west, passing a field of grass and the building housing the Underground Path before turning north, then west into Celadon. The Underground Path on Route 7 travels under Saffron and comes out on Route 8 in the east, just east of the East Saffron gate.

Route 7 can be accessed three ways: from the gate coming from Saffron City in the east, the Underground Path which leads directly from Route 8 in the south, or the road coming from Celadon City in the west. If Trainers enter the route from the Celadon terminus, they must go through a set of ledges, however, traveling south will lead Trainers through a gap in the ledge and east between the hillsides, until it comes to a split in the road. By traveling north, the route leads up to a large patch of tall grass, however, the only patch of tall grass on the route, making it the only place to battle Pokémon as there are no Trainers on the route. By heading south, either by jumping a ledge or going through the gap between ledges, the route turns east to the Underground Path, where Trainers are about the travel below Saffron City and end off at the eastern terminus of Route 8. If, however, Trainers chose to continue along east, they will find themselves at a gate where Saffron City follows.

If Trainers enter the route from the Underground Path, they must make their way east and find the gap in the ledge, where they must travel north towards a large patch of tall grass. However, will lead to a dead end. The road just south of the patch of tall grass will turn west where Trainer will have to find another gap in the ledge, where they must travel north again toward the outskirts of Celadon City, where the route curves to the west towards Celadon. If Trainers begin their journey from the gate of Saffron City in the east, the contoured route will create a straight western path towards Celadon, which will then turn north to the toward the outskirts of Celadon City, where the route finally curves to the west towards Celadon. Trainers are able to make detours to the large patch of tall grass in the north, and the Underground Path in the south.

Differences among generations

In Generation I and III

The depiction of Route 7 is almost identical in Generations I and III; however, there are several minor cosmetic changes within the layout. The large patch of tall grass to the north of the route has expanded slightly on the eastern side, so in Generation III the entire area is covered with tall grass. The gaps between the ledges on the eastern segment were also widened significantly. Apart from this, most aesthetic features have been enhanced. Trees have become bigger, flowers are more visible, and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards.

In Generation II

In Generation II, Route 7 is only subject to several minor changes. The route has become slightly smaller and the large patch of tall grass to the north of the route has expanded to the eastern end of the route. The Underground Path has been closed due to vandalism.

In Generation IV

In Generation IV, the layout has changed significantly. The route is now a straight path between Celadon and Saffron. The ledge area at the end of the route is no longer the end and is blocked off by trees and has greatly decreased in size. A set of stairs is added near the Celadon entrance. The grass patch area also has expanded northward and there is no longer grass before the gate door.

In the anime

Route 7 is visited in Primeape Goes Bananas as a much different version of the route as the grassy layout in the game. After calling Professor Oak, Ash and his friends stop for lunch on the route, at which point they find a wild Mankey. Ash decides to capture it by merely throwing a Poké Ball at it. Mankey throws the rice ball which the Poké Ball captures, and it then hops off, clearly angry. Mankey charges and steals Ash's hat and jumps up a tree. Ash manages to get high enough on the tree, but Mankey jumps off, sending Ash back down. Team Rocket steps out to confront them, but Mankey checks out Team Rocket. James kicks Mankey away. Brock tells Team Rocket to leave before it whips them. Team Rocket turns, seeing the angry Pokémon evolving into Primeape.

Primeape attacks them all, but before long, Ash gets serious and tries to capture Primeape. Primeape slumps as Ash tosses a Poké Ball at it. Primeape goes inside as the Ball rattles. It stops, the capture an apparent success. The ball rattles again, but it stops a second time, this time inert as Ash claims the ball holding his Primeape. At the end of the episode, Pikachu points over the cliff as they see Celadon City. Misty notes that Primeape’s chase sped up the trip. Ash puts his hat on, as he is excited to get the next Badge. Meanwhile, Team Rocket lands in a field full of angry Primeape.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Route 7 first debuted in Wartortle Wars in the Red, Green & Blue arc, where there was a gate which Green was keeping a close eye on Red. Suddenly after defeating a Primeape, Red's Bulbasaur evolved into Ivysaur.

After "admiring" Red, Green wanted (and was able) to sell fake accessories to Red. Just then, a wild Pinsir appeared. Red stuffed the Accessories onto Pikachu which caused Pikachu to lose, and Red found out the accessories were a rip off.
