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 {{DL|Tall grass|Long grass|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]].

Pokémon Trainers localize themselves in routes to train their Pokémon. They do this normally 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 travelling 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 [[Dowsing Machine|item finding tool]].

Although each region has its own set of numbered routes, there are numerous other passages throughout the Pokémon world, all of which are named, that can be considered routes as well.

Up to [[Generation VI]], there are 157 numbered routes in the Pokémon world, all identified simply as ''Route'' followed by their number. The route numbers in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]] avoid overlapping with each other, but the route numbers in [[Unova]] and [[Kalos]] forego this consideration.
Up to [[Generation VII]], there are 174 numbered routes in the Pokémon world, all identified simply as ''Route'' followed by their number. The route numbers in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]] avoid overlapping with each other, but the route numbers in [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]] forego this consideration.


Kanto and Johto contain 48 consecutively numbered routes, with {{rtn|1|Kanto}} through {{rtn|28|Kanto}} in Kanto (only through {{rtn|25|Kanto}} in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}) and {{rtn|29|Johto}} through {{rtn|48|Johto}} in Johto (only through {{rtn|46|Johto}} in [[Generation II]]). Hoenn and Sinnoh's route numbers are not consecutive with Kanto and Johto's or with each other, possibly due to the fact that these [[region]]s are not directly connected. Hoenn contains routes numbered {{rtn|101|Hoenn}} through {{rtn|134|Hoenn}}, while Sinnoh contains routes numbered {{rtn|201|Sinnoh}} through {{rtn|230|Sinnoh}}.

After Generation IV, the new regions ceased attempting to avoid overlapping route numbers with the old ones. This may imply that Unova and Kalos are distant from the other regions and each other, and therefore uninfluenced by their routes. Unova contains routes numbered {{rtn|1|Unova}} through {{rtn|23|Unova}}, while Kalos contains routes numbered {{rtn|1|Kalos}} through {{rtn|22|Kalos}}.

The numbering of the routes in the Pokémon world may 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]].
