Not every route is known by a number. Some routes have a unique, descriptive name, such as the seventeen named paths and the small cave between the main cities and major landmarks of the [[Sevii Islands]]. Kalos routes that are numbered also have names, such as {{rt|10|Kalos}} also being known as the Menhir Trail. {{rt|1|Alola}} in Alola, and {{rt|8|Galar|Routes 8}} and {{rt|9|Galar|9}} in Galar have sections of the route that are named, but the entire route itself is not. | Not every route is known by a number.

==Trivia== | |||
===Origin=== | |||
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]]. | |||
