Up to [[Generation | Up to [[Generation V]], there are 130 numbered routes in the Pokémon world, all identified simply as ''Route'' followed by their number. Routes numbered {{rtn|1|Kanto}} through {{rtn|25|Kanto}} (and {{rtn|26|Kanto}} through {{rtn|28|Kanto}} as well in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]]) are in [[Kanto]], routes numbered {{rtn|29|Johto}} through {{rtn|46|Johto}} (and {{rtn|47|Johto}} through {{rtn|48|Johto}} as well in [[Generation IV]]) are in [[Johto]], routes numbered {{rtn|101|Hoenn}} through {{rtn|134|Hoenn}} are in [[Hoenn]], routes numbered {{rtn|201|Sinnoh}} through {{rtn|230|Sinnoh}} are in [[Sinnoh]], and routes numbered {{rtn|1|Isshu}} through {{rtn|18|Isshu}} are in [[Isshu]], starting the system over. | ||
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). | 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.

Isshu systematically begins at {{rt|1|Isshu}}, which parallels Kanto's route numbering system. This was likely due to show that Isshu is distant from the existing four regions, with its routes following a new numbering system. | ||
The numbering of the routes in the Pokémon world may also be a reference to Japan's own national route system, which goes from {{wp|Japan National Route 1|1}} to {{wp|Japan National Route 58|58}}, then skips directly to {{wp|Japan National Route 101|101}}, and afterwards skips several numbers. Despite this, the routes do not run concurrent with their Pokémon counterparts, and indeed in Japan there exists a {{wp|Japan National Route 135|Route 135}}, a {{wp|Japan National Route 231|Route 231}}, and so on, up to {{wp|Japan National Route 507|Route 507}}. Strangely, the only numbers skipped are routes whose numbers are used in [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]]. | The numbering of the routes in the Pokémon world may also be a reference to Japan's own national route system, which goes from {{wp|Japan National Route 1|1}} to {{wp|Japan National Route 58|58}}, then skips directly to {{wp|Japan National Route 101|101}}, and afterwards skips several numbers.
