Trivia

• Route 230 bears numerous similarities to Route 130 in Hoenn; Both routes have numbers that end in 30, they are both east-west sea routes, with no north or south exits, and both contain an island with grass, stairs, and a place to plant Berries. This island is also the only place to encounter a certain baby in the wild (Wynaut on Route 130, Togepi on Route 230). However, in Route 130's case, Mirage Island isn't always there.
• This is the highest-numbered route in the games so far.
