Up to [[Generation IV]], there are 112 numbered routes in the Pokémon world, all identified simply as ''Route'' followed by their number. Routes numbered {{rtn|1}} through {{rtn|25}} (and {{rtn|26}} through {{rtn|28}} as well in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]]) are in [[Kanto]], routes numbered {{rtn|29}} through {{rtn|46}} (and {{rtn|47}} through {{rtn|48}} as well in [[Generation IV]]) are in [[Johto]], routes numbered {{rtn|101}} through {{rtn|134}} are in [[Hoenn]] and routes numbered {{rtn|201}} through {{rtn|230}} are in [[Sinnoh]].

Hoenn and Sinnoh's routes do not follow sequentially from the previous generation's focused-on region, likely due to the fact that the regions introduced in previous generations are not able to be visited in games focusing on Hoenn and Sinnoh. This is unlike what was the case with the games of [[Generation II]], where Johto's routes picked up where Kanto's left off, and Kanto was able to be visited. As of yet there are no regions with routes numbered to fill in between Johto's and Hoenn's (which would number 49 to 100) or from Hoenn's to Sinnoh's (which would number 135 to 200).

Although not official named "Terrain routes" but considered rather "normal" routes, these routes are located on land and are the first most Trainers come across. These routes can come in the form of forests, deserts, plains, mountainous, swamps, beaches or just grassland. As accordance to these routes comes certain [[weather conditions]], which are features implemented onto each route. Most of the time, the route retains a sunny, normal climate, however, sometimes the route can suffer from weather conditions like heavy rain, sandstorm, fog and even snow. These conditions can create an extra effect, not only in battle, but out on the field, for example, heavy fog covers the route in a thick blanket of fog so obstacles and Trainers are difficult to see and can be cleared with {{m|Defog}}. Clouds will occasionally gather over [[Route 213]], darkening the area, while a thunderstorm can occur on [[Route 120]], though it may clear halfway through the route.

Most routes are associated with [[tall grass]] in which [[wild 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]].
