Some Bulbapedia members have formed a project to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about Routes in the Pokémon World. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or, if you would like to join this project, you can sign up below.

Project Routes

Scope and aims

Project Routes covers all articles about Routes in the Pokémon World.

The ultimate goal is to create and standardize articles for every route, numbered and not numbered, such as Hoenn's Jagged Pass or Kanto's Diglett's Cave, that has been featured in the Pokémon games and anime. Currently, this project covers every route in the regions of Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn.

Participants

How you can help

You can help by opening the List of Routes in the Pokémon World and selecting any route in red (which means that there is no article for it yet) and starting that article, or opening any route that you can provide more information about.

Most of the existing route articles need to be modified to comply with the project standard (see below). You can open Category:Route articles needing work and review what has been noted to need work there. Also, you can check Category:Route stubs to see which articles need expanding.

Routes in Category:Routes needing screenshots have been converted to the new standard but are missing screenshots for the infobox. You can open this category, see which routes are listed and, if possible, upload a screenshot of that route to Bulbagarden Archives. Once the image has been uploaded, the Template:Routeimage tag can be removed.

To-Do List:

Bulbapedia:Project Routes/To-do list

Structure

Infobox information

Articles should use Template:RouteInfo, and all known info should be supplied.

Main Section

Untitled section that describes the route. Depending on the route this section may just name the direction (E/W or N/S) and termination points, or may go into considerable detail. However, the majority of detail, should be reserved for the next section.

Route description

This section is for describing the route itself. The progression of the main path of the route should be described from north to south, east to west unless it makes more sense to describe the route using other directions, such as Routes 3 and 25.

Items

A list of items found on the route as well as a description of their location on the route.

Pokémon

A list of Pokémon that appear along the route as well as encounter rates and times of encounter if possible. Lists should be separated by game version using third-level headlines and should be grouped as follows and in this order:

Pokémon Red/Blue
Pokémon Yellow
Pokémon Gold/Silver
Pokémon Crystal
Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire
Pokémon Emerald
Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen

If the route was not featured in a version, then that version can be omitted from the list.

Optionally, Pokémon can be listed by Generation, especially on routes that have been featured in many Generations.

Differences Among Generations

If the route was featured in multiple versions and Generations of Pokémon, the differences between those should be discussed here.

References

Place all references here, using the <ref></ref> tags in the article and the <references/> tag in this section.

External links

Place all external links which are not references here.

"Best-Practice" Articles

Best-practice articles have been set up at Route 2, Route 38 and Route 111. These articles will serve as the model articles for the rest of the project.

Goals

To organize, standardize, and expand the articles on Routes in the Pokémon World.
Numbered route articles should be named "Route N" where N is the route number. Non-numbered route articles should be named after the route in question.

List

The list page for Project Routes is List of Routes in the Pokémon World.

Template:RouteInfo. An example is to the right.

Cut and paste this into the route article:

{{RouteInfo 
|article_route=
|alternate_name=
|direction_a=
|terminus_a=
|junction=
|direction_b=
|terminus_b=
|region=
|generation=
|before=
|after=
}}

Substitutions as follows (if you have no info, then enter the tag with the equalsign and no value):
image (optional)	is the name of the image file name at Bulbagarden Archives. (If omitted - Route num.png, num representing the Route number.
article_route	is the number of the route (e.g. 2 or 12 or 112)
alternate_name	is any alternate names of the route (e.g. 17 is Cycling Road)
direction_a	is north or east
terminus_a	is the northern or eastern terminus of the route
junction	is a list of the major junctions with other routes (e.g. Route 46 with Route 29) not including termini
direction_b	is south or west
terminus_b	is the southern or western terminus of the route
region	is the region the route is located in
generation	is a list of all generations of games this route has appeared in. Handy template shortcuts include {{subst:Gen\|I}} for Generation I, {{subst:Gen\|II}} for Generation II, and {{subst:Gen\|III}} for Generation III.
before	Route prior to the article route
after	Route following the article route
