Kanto Route 12: Difference between revisions

'''Route 12''' is a lengthy north-south route in east [[Kanto]]. This route is also known as the '''Silence Bridge''' (Japanese: '''サイレンズブリッジ''' ''Silence Bridge'') between its southern terminus at {{rt|13|Kanto}} and the gate just south of [[Lavender Town]], its northern terminus. As a whole, the route is a large bridge built over water, making it a popular gathering spot for {{tc|Fisherman|fishermen}}. The middle point of the Silence Bridge connects to a gate on {{rt|11|Kanto}}.

Continuing south, the bridge turns to the southeast just ahead of another island. On this island in every [[generation]] is the home of the [[Fishing Brothers]]' younger brother, who will give a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}} to anyone who expresses a passion for fishing. In [[Generation III]], he rewards players with [[Poké Ball#Net Ball|Net Balls]] for showing him record-breaking [[Magikarp (Pokémon)|Magikarp]].  West of his house, the bridge resumes, traveling to the south and east before coming to an end just after an intersection with another segment. This segment carries the route south to a series of intersections. The two westward routes in this area lead to a peninsula containing a forested area accessible only by using {{m|Cut}}. The lone eastward path leads to another fishing pier. Just south of the southern peninsula path, the route briefly turns to the east before returning south.

A sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} is often found blocking the intersection between Routes 11 and 12. To move it, a [[Poké Flute]] is required. Also, in [[Generation III]], [[TM16]] was replaced with [[TM48]], and after the Fishing Guru's younger brother gives the player a Super Rod, he will give away a [[Net Ball]] if he is shown a Magikarp of a certain size.

Route 12 debuted in ''[[PS012|Wake Up-You're Snorlax!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, where a bike race was taking place, but a {{p|Snorlax}} was blocking the road, a male {{tc|Swimmer}} and a {{tc|Bug Catcher}} wanted to get past. A Solution was later made by {{adv|Red}} by using the [[honey]] that had fallen from {{p|Beedrill}}'s hive onto [[Saur|Bulbasaur]]'s head as bait to get the Snorlax to budge which later worked and won Red the race.
