'''Route 12''' is a route in eastern [[Kanto]], connecting [[Lavender Town]] and {{rt|13|Kanto}}. This route is also known as the '''Silence Bridge''' (Japanese: '''サイレンズブリッジ''' ''Silence Bridge'') between its southern terminus at {{rt|13|Kanto}} and the gate just south of [[Lavender Town]]. | '''Route 12''' is a route in eastern [[Kanto]], connecting [[Lavender Town]] and {{rt|13|Kanto}}.

On the west shore of the island, the Silence Bridge resumes, making an upside-down "U" as it proceeds south. After a short time, the bridge makes a turn to the east. This segment of the bridge comes to an end roughly 15 paces east of this point, but Route 12 has already turned off onto another bridge segment, a north-south stretch, by this point. About eight paces south of the intersection between the two segments is the designated "Sport Fishing Area" at the intersection of Routes 11 and 12. | On the west shore of the island, the Silence Bridge resumes, making an upside-down "U" as it proceeds south.

Continuing south, the bridge turns to the southeast just ahead of another island. On this island in every [[generation]] is the home of the [[Fishing Brothers]]' younger brother, who will give a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}} to anyone who expresses a passion for fishing. In [[Generation III]], he rewards players with {{Ball|Net}}s for showing him record-breaking {{p|Magikarp}}. | Continuing south, the bridge turns to the southeast just ahead of another island.

West of his house, the bridge resumes, traveling to the south and east before coming to an end just after an intersection with another segment. This segment carries the route south to a series of intersections. The two westward routes in this area lead to a peninsula containing a forested area accessible only by using {{m|Cut}}. The lone eastward path leads to another fishing pier. Just south of the southern peninsula path, the route briefly turns to the east before returning south. | ||
At the next intersection, the main path of the route continues south while a westward path leads to the only grassy patch on Route 12. Cut is required for access, however. | At the next intersection, the main path of the route continues south while a westward path leads to the only grassy patch on Route 12.

The route is very similar between the two generations. Route 12 was shortened considerably in Generations II and IV. Other notable changes included the removal of all grassy areas along the route, the removal of the gate between the Silence Bridge and Lavender Town, and the isolation of the former location of the grassy area, now accessible only by {{m|Surf}}ing. The number of Trainers was also reduced to three in Generation II, down from eight in previous and future Generations. Also, it is important to note that in HeartGold and SoulSilver, if the player beat Snorlax, | The route is very similar between the two generations.

In Generation II, the signpost at the north end of Route 12 now reads "Fishing spot". To compensate, the Route 12 notice present on this sign before was moved to the former "Sport fishing area" sign at Route 11. The signpost on Route 13 just southwest of Route 12's end, however, still reads "Route 13: North to Silence Bridge". | In Generation II, the signpost at the north end of Route 12 now reads "Fishing spot".

Route 12 debuted in ''[[PS012|Wake Up-You're Snorlax!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, where a bike race was taking place, but a {{p|Snorlax}} was blocking the road, a male {{tc|Swimmer}} and a {{tc|Bug Catcher}} wanted to get past. A Solution was later made by {{adv|Red}} by using the [[honey]] that had fallen from {{p|Beedrill}}'s hive onto [[Saur|Bulbasaur's]] head as bait to get the Snorlax to budge which later worked and won Red the race. | Route 12 debuted in ''[[PS012|Wake Up-You're Snorlax!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, where a bike race was taking place, but a {{p|Snorlax}} was blocking the road, a male {{tc|Swimmer}} and a {{tc|Bug Catcher}} wanted to get past.
