::::::::I realize. However, keep this in mind. Many cities have zoos, like San Diego and Philadelphia. They're named for the city. Are they to be called Zoo (San Diego) or Zoo (Philadelphia)? Zoos are landmarks... '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 21:00, 10 August 2010 (UTC) | ::::::::I realize. However, keep this in mind.

:::::::::No, but their name isn't Zoo. The routes are named "Route 1". The zoos are named "San Diego Zoo". Changing the name to "Kanto Route 1" doesn't seem right, because it is changing the name. The parentheses are to further disimbag the article when the real name is taken. I respect your decision, but your reasoning fails. <sub style="color:#00008B;">'''[[User:Blake|Blake]]'''</sub> <sup>[[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]]</sup> 21:42, 10 August 2010 (UTC) | :::::::::No, but their name isn't Zoo.

::::::::::Refer to the earlier example with the many state routes in the US and other countries that have large subdivisions in their federation. Illinois Route 1. Kentucky Route 1. Even internationally, there are routes called 1 that are named for their country. Plus, it flows better. People get pissy with parentheses.
