Kanto Route 2: Difference between revisions

South of [[Pewter City]], the [[route]] passes the northernmost of two grass patches along the path as it turns to the west. At this point, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can take one of two routes to progress south. The first option is to remain on the main path of Route 2 and travel through the gate and into [[Viridian Forest]], a considerably long and inconvenient detour unless Trainers desire to catch {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The second option, available to Trainers who possess Pokémon that know and can use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle, is to remove a small shrub southeast of the grass patch to gain access to the eastern half of the route.

==Differences among generations==

===Generations I and III===

===Generation II===

Along the length of the route, the music has been replaced with a new track exclusive to Route 2, a remix of Viridian Forest's music. This remixed music is in major scale, whereas the normal Viridian Forest music is minor scale.

===Generation IV===

By traveling south past Viridian Forest, two Trainers can be found. The first one can be found by jumping off the ledge or go through the grass, while the second one can be found by traveling further south. Now a single path once again, Route 2 travels to the south towards [[Viridian City]].
