'''Route 7''' is an extremely short road that connects [[Saffron City]] to [[Celadon City]]. Its eastern terminus is at [[Saffron City]] and its western end is at [[Celadon City]]. In the games prominently featuring [[Kanto]], the thirsty guard at the [[lookout station]] that separates Saffron from Route 7 on the west side of Saffron will not let anyone pass through to Saffron until someone gets them a [[drink]] (Tea in [[Generation III]]; Lemonade, Water, or Soda Pop in [[Generation I]]) from the [[Celadon Department Store]] located in Celadon City.

Route 7 is an extremely short east-west route; in fact, it is the shortest route in any region of the Pokémon world, serving only to connect [[Saffron City]] in the east to [[Celadon City]] in the west. From the guard house separating Saffron from Route 8, the route heads west, passing a field of grass and the building housing the {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 7-8}} before turning north, then west into Celadon. The Underground Path on Route 7 travels under Saffron and comes out on {{rt|8}} in the east, just east of the East Saffron guard house.

Route 7 can be accessed three ways: from the [[lookout station]] coming from [[Saffron City]] in the east, the {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 7-8}} which leads directly from [[Route 8]] in the south, or the road coming from [[Celadon City]] in the west. If Trainers enter the route from the Celadon terminus, they must go through a set of ledges, however, traveling south will lead Trainers through a gap in the ledge and east between the hillsides, until it comes to a split in the road. By traveling north, the route leads up to a large patch of [[tall grass]], however, the only patch of tall grass on the route, making it the only place to battle Pokémon as there are no Trainers on the route. By heading south, either by jumping a ledge or going through the gap between ledges, the route turns east to the {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 7-8}}, where Trainers are about the travel below Saffron City and end off at the eastern terminus of [[Route 8]]. If, however, Trainers chose to continue along east, they will find themselves at a [[lookout station]] where Saffron City follows.

===In Generation I and III===

In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{Gen|III}}, the layout of Route 7 is basically the same. The depiction of Route 7 is almost identical in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{Gen|III}}, however there are still several minor cosmetic changes in the made within the layout. The large patch of [[tall grass]] to the north of the route has increased slightly adding an extra portion on the eastern side of it, so in Generation III the entire area is covered with tall grass. The "gates" or the gaps in the ledges used for passed up them on the eastern segment were also widened significantly. Apart from this, most aesthetic features have been enhanced. Trees have become bigger, flowers are more visible, and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards.

===In Generation II===

In [[Generation II]], Route 7 is only a subject to several minor changes. The route has become slightly smaller and the large patch of [[tall grass]] to the north of the route has increased slightly adding an extra portion on the eastern side of it, making it cover the entire area is covered with tall grass. In Generation II, the {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 7-8}} is closed due to vandalism.

===In Generation IV===

In [[Generation IV]], the layout is different to that of previous generations. The ledge area at the end of the route is no longer the end of the route as the left side is blocked off by trees and has greatly decreased in size and the pathway extends past the area to a set of stairs that leads to Celadon City. The grass patch area also has increased in size slightly and there is no longer grass before the [[guard house]] door.  

==In other media==

===In the anime===

Route 7 is visited in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'' as a much different version of the route as the grassy layout in the game. After calling [[Professor Oak]], {{Ash}} and co. stop for lunch on the route, at which point they find a wild {{p|Mankey}}. Ash decides to capture it by merely throwing a [[Poké Ball]] at it. Mankey throws the rice ball which the Poké Ball captures, and it then hops off, clearly angry. Mankey charges and steals Ash's {{AP|hat}} and jumps up a tree. Ash manages to get high enough on the tree, but Mankey jumps off, sending Ash back down. Team Rocket steps out to confront them, but Mankey checks out Team Rocket. [[James]] kicks Mankey away. Brock tells Team Rocket to leave before it whips them. Team Rocket turns, seeing the angry Pokémon [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{p|Primeape}}.  

Primeape attacks them all, but before long, Ash gets serious and tries to capture Primeape. Primeape slumps as Ash tosses a Poké Ball at it. Primeape goes inside as the ball rattles. It stops, the capture an apparent success. The ball rattles again, but it stops a second time, this time inert as Ash claims the ball holding his {{AP|Primeape}}. At the end of the episode, Pikachu points over the cliff as they see Celadon City. Misty notes that Primeape’s chase sped up the trip. Ash puts his hat on, as he is excited to get the {{Badge|Rainbow|next badge}}. Meanwhile, Team Rocket lands in a field full of angry Primeape.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Route 7 first debuted in ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, where there was a lookout station which {{adv|Green}} was keeping a close eye on {{adv|Red}}. Suddenly after defeating a {{p|Primeape}}, Red's [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Ivysaur}}.

 

After "admiring" Red, Green wanted (and was able) to sell fake accessories to Red. Just then, a wild {{p|Pinsir}} appeared.  Red stuffed the Accessories onto [[Pika|Pikachu]] which caused Pikachu to lose, and Red found out the accessories were a rip off.
