Unova Route 2: Difference between revisions

Route 2 is similar to other early-region routes, being forested and featuring some of the player's first Trainer battles. In this case, there are four, the fourth of which is against [[Bianca]], one of the player's [[rival]]s. To the south an [[item]] can be found, after using {{m|Strength}} on a large boulder. From the Accumula Town entrance, there are two paths. The player will then have to travel through a patch of [[tall grass]]. Upon exiting the patch of grass, the player will meet another Trainer. The player can then choose to go south and jump over the [[ledge]] to travel back to [[Accumula Town]]. After defeating the Trainers situated along a small path that travels eastwards, the player will have to cross another patch of tall grass. After traveling north through the grass, the player can either choose to continue north to enter [[Striaton City]], jump over ledges to go back to Accumula Town, walk east to go up stairs to obtain an item, or walk west to obtain an item after using {{m|Cut}}.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, this route is one of the ''last'' routes the player can access. In addition to the higher levels of the Pokémon on the route, the player can also spot graffiti on the back of the northmost sign. It reads "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. [[List of Medals in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Medal]]s await the adventurous!" Once it is read, the player can earn the Graffiti Gazer medal.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Route 2 appeared in ''[[PS469|Welcome To Striaton City!!]]'', where {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}} were shown traveling through the route in order to reach {{adv|Black}} in [[Striaton City]]. On the way, Bianca ran into a wild {{p|Audino}}, which she tried to battle with her {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}}, but was defeated.

* A graphical artifact happens in this route: there are two buildings in the north of Accumula Town that should be seen from a section of the road, but they don't get rendered due to a process of {{wp|Clipping (computer graphics)|clipping}} activated when exiting the [[gate]] to route 2. [[Cheating|By cheating]], it is possible to exit Accumula Town through the trees and view the buildings not clipped.

* The sign at the northern end of the route (near [[Striaton City]]) simply says "Route 2." However, in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, reading the sign from the back displays the message that there is some graffiti on the back of the sign. Doing this earns the player the Graffiti Gazer [[List of Medals in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Medal]]. After receiving the medal, it is no longer possible to read the graffiti, and reading the sign from either side will only read "Route 2."
