'''Route 8''' (Japanese: '''８{{tt|番道路|ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 8'') is a route in central [[Kanto]], connecting [[Lavender Town]] and [[Saffron City]]. The eastern end of the {{OBP|Underground Path|Kanto Routes 7-8}} is located on this route.

Route 8 is a unique route traveling along east to west from [[Lavender Town]] to [[Saffron City]]. The dirt road between the two towns winds around in a sideways "S" pattern, traveling past fields and meadows. Starting from the eastern side, Trainers exit Lavender and make their way west, where they come to a forest of trees blocking the path, which must be avoided by turning south and then west again to continue on though the route. The route then makes its way north past a field closed off by a fence, which can be entered from a small gap which is filled by a {{m|cut}}-able tree.

If Trainers enter the field, they will come up to a spotted patch of tall grass surrounded by red flowers; this is the only patch of tall grass on the route. Rare, [[game-exclusive Pokémon]] such as {{p|Growlithe}} and {{p|Vulpix}} inhabit the [[tall grass]]. There is another small gap which is filled by another {{m|cut}}-able tree on the western side of the field that Trainers can exit, cutting the corner around the field.

At the western end of the route travelers can either continue west or head north. The western path goes through a gate to Saffron City; this will not be opened until a late stage in the game to prevent {{player}}s from reaching an area in the game where their Pokémon would not be strong enough to continue through the storyline. Passage will be granted once the guard in the gate has had a [[drink]]. The northern route is the one players must first traverse. It bypasses Saffron City via an {{OBP|Underground Path|Kanto Routes 7-8}} and heads further west to [[Celadon City]].
