'''Route 27''' (Japanese: '''27ばんどうろ''' ''Route 27'') is a route in southwest [[Kanto]], connecting {{rt|26|Kanto}} and [[New Bark Town]] in [[Johto]].
'''Route 27''' (Japanese: '''27ばんどうろ''' ''Route 27'') is a route in southwest [[Kanto]], connecting {{rt|26|Kanto}} and [[New Bark Town]] in [[Johto]].
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after beating the {{DL|Elite Four|Kanto/Johto Elite Four|Elite Four}} for the first time and boarding the [[S.S. Aqua]], the {{pkmn|battle}} music in Route 27 (as well as in the [[Tohjo Falls]], {{ka|Victory Road}}, {{rt|26|Kanto|Routes 26}} and {{rtn|28|Kanto}}) changes from the Johto style to the Kanto style. This change was not present in the original {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} nor in {{game|Crystal}}.
In [[Generation II]], although it is located in Kanto, this route uses only Johto tile sets as opposed to Kanto's. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the tile sets are instead Johto-style on the west end and Kanto-style on the east end.
Like on Route 28 in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the {{player}} is unable to {{m|fly}} to Johto from this route but can fly to both Kanto and Johto from Route 26 despite Route 27 being closer to Johto. In Generation II, the player cannot fly to Johto from anywhere in Kanto, which includes Routes 26 to 28.

==Route description==
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.
After {{pkmn|battle|battling}}, Reena will offer to exchange numbers in the [[Pokégear]] for future rematches.


East of Reena, the bridge turns east once again, becoming Route 26 eight paces to the east.

There are two water paths which are optional.
There are two water paths, both of which are optional.


===Western water path===
===Western water path===
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}}.

===Eastern water path===
===Eastern water path===
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/2|GSC}} or {{TM|02|Dragon Claw}}{{sup/4|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}}.
