A '''route''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|どうろ|dōro}}''' ''route'', '''{{tt|すいどう|suidō}}''' sea route) in the [[Pokémon world]] is a passage permitting Trainers and others to travel between locations with relative ease. Usually what defines a route is a location between two or more cities, however many passageways between cities are too long, thus, this passageway can be broken down into several routes, each joining onto another route at its terminal. Routes are depicted as a long, narrow, and sometimes winding roads, riddled with obstacles such as rocks, trees and even [[ledge]]s blocking the pathway. Although routes are a barricaded area, they are difficult to maneuver around and are a maze of winding paths that Trainers strive to explore. Route in the [[Pokémon games]], unlike the [[Pokémon anime]] are formed as a straight path with two or more termini and therefore depicted as a bordered off, barricaded area. To make this so, there are trees that are so thick that even Trainers cannot penetrate its barrier-like form, surrounding routes acting as barriers to stop players from venturing further, rocks acts as the barriers on water routes. The barriers are there to make it seem as there is only one possible path instead of a wide field going nowhere. | A '''route''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|どうろ|dōro}}''' ''route'', '''{{tt|すいどう|suidō}}''' sea route) in the [[Pokémon world]] is a passage permitting Trainers and others to travel between locations with relative ease.

Most routes are associated with [[tall grass]] in which [[wild Pokémon]], including [[Roaming Pokémon]], can be found. If the player enters a patch of tall grass, they may randomly enter a wild Pokémon battle. Tall grass is found on most routes of the Pokémon world, with some routes containing more tall grass patches than others. People are generally warned to stay out of tall grass if they don't have a Pokémon due to the possibility of being attacked by wild Pokémon. Some areas in the [[Pokémon world]] have larger patches of grass than usual. These patches of grass have grown longer and more widespread than the usual grass patches, hiding many different species of Pokémon. Because of the length and thickness of the grass, it is impossible to ride a [[bicycle]] or [[Running Shoes|run]] through the patches in [[Generation III]]. | Most routes are associated with [[tall grass]] in which [[wild Pokémon]], including [[Roaming Pokémon]], can be found.

Pokémon Trainers localize themselves in routes to train their Pokémon. They do this normal by battling the wild Pokémon that live in the tall grass, however, many Trainer wish to gain experience further by challenging other Trainers to a battle, and no matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow - when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a battle. However, not all people traveling through a route wish to have a battle, many just want to get to another town or city easily, and therefore will sometimes help other Trainers with friendly advice. Trainers also carelessly drop items on the ground while passing by a route, and so another Trainer is able to come by and take it. Although, these ground items can be obtained through natural means, items are very often found by Trainers throughout every route. These ground items are called 'Item Balls' because they are spherical containers resembling a small [[Poké Ball]]. However, finding items on the ground is not always as easy as seeing it and picking it up. Many items are hidden from view, and can only be obtained by a very lucky chance or, more commonly, through the use of an [[Itemfinder|item finding tool]]. | Pokémon Trainers localize themselves in routes to train their Pokémon.
