'''Route 1''' is a short north-south path located in west [[Kanto]]. Its northern terminus is at [[Viridian City]] and its southern terminus is at [[Pallet Town]]. The contour of the [[route]] is designed to be an express route heading south but a trek through numerous grassy areas heading north, both fitting considering the early portion of the storyline of Generations {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}} takes {{pkmn|Trainer}}s along Route 1 numerous times.
 
==Route description==
Heading north from [[Pallet Town]], [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainers]] must make their way around a large but very primitive route, that will become their very first route they will explore on their journey. The route is riddled with large patches of [[tall grass]], and [[ledge]]s that contour from far east to all to the far west, blocking off most of the route making it hard to travel north, only to have small gaps by which the road has been broken into it.

From the narrow "gateway" into Route 1, the route will make its way west as a ledge will block the road, however patches of tall grass be found by traveling east. After traveling north past the gap in the ledge, there will be a small clearing, where a man working for a [[Poké Mart]] can be found giving out a free {{DL|Potion|Potion}} to Trainers. Heading away from the small clearing, the route makes its way eastern, and creates an "S" shapes as it winds around tall ground, as well as long ledges. Route 1 then travels northerly through two consecutive patches of tall grass, one larger than the other. It then finishes of by curving westerly, and then north as it enters Viridian.
 
Heading south from [[Viridian City]], Trainers can either hop down ledges to completely avoid any contact with wild {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on their way to [[Pallet Town]] or they can travel through the grass patches, the required path for northbound travel. Following the grass-lined path, the route turns east then south as it enters the first patch. After a small break, the path of the route enters another patch of grass as the route turns west. Route 1 then makes an "S", turning to the south, then to the east before returning south and west, passing through the third grassy area. The path then juts south, entering another patch before curving to the east then to the south as it enters Pallet.
 
There are no opponent Trainers on this route in Generations {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}}. However, a man who works at the [[Poké Mart]] in Viridian City will give out a free sample of {{DL|Potion|Potion}} to trainers who talk to him. In [[Generation II]], the Poké Mart employee has left and two Trainers appear instead, while in [[Generation IV]] five Trainers are on the route. A [[Bitter Berry]] grows here in Generation II, while a [[Blk Apricorn]] does so in Generation IV.

==Differences among generations==
===Generation I and III===
The [[route]] layout in Generations {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}} are identical except for the fact that the Generation I version has grassy patches to both the east and the west of the route itself. The grass beyond the barrier was removed since in Generation I, [[Pokémon Trainer|trainers]] could enter the grass using the [[Cheating|walk anywhere]] glitch and, upon doing this, the game would freeze. This was because the grassy area contained no data for cities, routes, or even wild Pokémon, and the game would crash upon trying to retrieve the missing data.
 
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.
 
===Generation II===
The route remains mostly the same apart from a few minor changes to the gameplay. Heading south from [[Viridian City]], Trainers can either hop down ledges to completely avoid any contact with wild Pokémon, which have now introduced {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Furret}} and {{p|Hoothoot}} to the route, on their way to [[Pallet Town]] or Trainer's can alternatively travel through the patches of grass.
 
On their way down, Trainer's can find two other Trainers waiting for battle. One can found near the northern side of the route, while the other can be found in the near the middle in the clearing. He has replaced the [[Viridian City|Viridian]] [[Poké Mart]] employee who gives away Potions, however there is a [[Berry#List of Berries|Bitter Berry]] tree that sprouted along the northwest portion of the route. Lastly, the grass patches outside of the route have been removed but the spacing between the route and the surrounding forest still remains.
 
===Generation IV===
Other than graphical updates, the basic layout remains the same as previous generations, but the route is no longer flat, due to hills being added to give feeling of depth to the route. Heading south from [[Viridian City]], a [[lookout station]] has been added between the route and Viridian City, in order for the game to load the different tilesets used between the areas.
 
The Bitter Berry tree has been changed into a [[Blk Apricorn]] tree, which can be found between the two ledges located on the northwestern side of the route. By traveling east, Trainers are able to battle a [[Schoolboy]], and by jumping off the ledge and heading east, another Schoolboy can be challenged, with Pokémon similar to the other Schoolboy in Generation II.
 
By jumping down the ledge and going through the tall grass, the route soon turns into the clearing. Like in Generation II, the Viridian Poké Mart employee is no longer present and is replaced by a Trainer. However, a photographer is present on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays who will take a picture of the player and his or her party.
 
There is a male [[Ace Trainer]] just south of the photographer, as well as another female [[Ace Trainer]], with Pokémon similar to the other Cool Trainer in Generation II. Route 1 makes the "S", turning to the south, then to the east before returning south and west, passing through the third grassy area. The path then juts south, entering another patch before curving to the east then to the south as it enters Pallet Town.

==In other media==
===In the anime===
Route 1 is introduced in the first episode of the Pokémon anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash who has just received [[Ash's Pikachu|his Pikachu]] and is still trying to get a handle on the rebellious Pokémon, sets off on his journey beginning with Route 1. He first finds a {{p|Pidgey}} and is eager to catch it, but Pikachu doesn't want to help him and instead, runs up a tree. Frustrated, Ash decides to try and catch the Pidgey without Pikachu's help. He throws a Poké Ball at it, but the Pidgey breaks out easily and runs away. Ash turns and sees that a {{p|Rattata}} is digging through his bag.
 
Ash turns and saw a group of Pidgey in the field, and throws a rock at them, which only scares them away. However, he sees another bird Pokémon in the field and throws another rock at it, which hits it in the back of its head. When it turns to look at him, however, he realized that he didn't hit a Pidgey and learns that this is a {{p|Spearow}}. The Spearow swoops several times to attack him and Pikachu.
 
They later meet [[Misty]], [[fishing]] for water Pokémon. He steals the girl's [[bicycle|bike]], putting the injured Pikachu in its basket, and rides away, promising that he would bring it back someday. They are attacked, once again by the Spearow, however Pikachu uses a massive electrical attack to take out the entire flock. Once the storm has cleared, Ash and Pikachu both rise from where they were knocked back on the ground, exhausted but victorious. Ash looks up and sees {{an|Ho-Oh|an unknown Pokémon}} majestically flying through the sky, over the rainbow that had been left after the storm, but his Pokédex could not identify the species.
 
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Route 1 made a brief appearence in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, when most of [[Professor Oak]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's Lab]] had been set free accidently by {{adv|Red}}. Oak went out across this [[route]] on his [[bicycle]] searching for the Pokémon, and Red tagged along.
 
==Trivia==
* A remix of the theme on this [[route]] was used in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* This is (obviously) the first numbered [[route]] in the Pokémon games.
