'''Route 27''' (Japanese: '''２７ばんどうろ''' ''Route 27'') is an east-west route located in extreme southwest [[Kanto]]. The route is the first location in Kanto that Trainers encounter in [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. This route, featured only in games featuring both Johto and Kanto, is one of the longest routes in Kanto history. The eastern terminus is at {{rt|26|Kanto}} east of [[Tohjo Falls]]. The western terminus is at the [[Johto]]-Kanto border, where Route 27 becomes part of [[New Bark Town]].

Route 27 begins as a water-logged route at its western terminus, requiring trainers to {{m|Surf}} east from New Bark to reach the first area of land along the route. After making landfall for the first time, a helpful Trainer near the shore will notify other Trainers that they have officially entered Kanto. The route continues east to a three-way intersection. The east path leads to the lower portion of a ledge and, ultimately, a dead end. The lack of a through route to the east forces trainers to the north, where the path meets the western portal of [[Tohjo Falls]].

A Trainer awaits at the eastern portal, battling unsuspecting Trainers who exit the area. Also around this area is a house owned by a woman who can detect how devoted a player's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is to them. If a Trainer shows her that their lead Pokémon is attached to them, the woman will give them {{TM|37|Sandstorm}}. This prize is only attainable once regardless of how many different Pokémon are shown to her. South of the house is the aforementioned ledge used to bypass Tohjo Falls when heading west along the route.

The route crosses a pond before resuming its course on land. This area of the route is home to the lone patch of grass along Route 27. The path of Route 27 follows the grass southeast, passing a trainer amongst the grass, before arriving at a bridge. There are two trainers near the starting point, with a third, {{tc|Ace Trainer}} Reena, on a north-south segment east of the starting location. The beginning of this segment is also the western terminus of an express path that originates on Route 26.

After battling, Reena will offer to exchange phone numbers for rematches.

There are two water paths which are optional.

Directly south of the west entrance to [[Tohjo Falls]] is a shoreline separating the land-bound route from a water path. The path on water turns east shortly after heading south from the shore, paralleling Route 27 to its terminus on a tiny patch of land containing a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}.

The eastern water path is a southern extension to the large water body that encompasses most of eastern Route 27 and southern Route 26. The start of the path is at a whirlpool southeast of Reena's location. The use of {{m|Whirlpool}} is necessary to pass. The path then turns east, landing on an island containing {{tc|Bird Keeper}} Jose, another Trainer who will offer to trade numbers, as well as {{TM|22|SolarBeam}}{{sup|GSC}} or {{TM|02|Dragon Claw}}{{sup|HGSS}}.

==Trivia==

* In [[Generation IV]], after beating the [[Elite Four]] for the first time and boarding the [[S.S. Aqua]], the battle music in Route 27 (as well as {{ka|Victory Road}}, {{rt|26|Kanto}} and [[Tohjo Falls]]) changes from the [[Johto]] to the [[Kanto]] style. This change was not present in [[Generation II]].

* In Generation II, this route uses only Johto sprites, but in Generation IV the scenery changes from Johto-style on the west end to Kanto-style on the east end.

* The player is unable to {{m|fly}} to Johto from this location, but can fly to both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] from Route 26 despite Route 27 being closer to Johto. The same is true of {{rt|28|Kanto}}.
