Route 5 (Japanese: 5番道路 Route 5) is a route in central Unova, connecting Nimbasa City to the Driftveil Drawbridge.
Route description
Route 5 is a short forested path, dominated by a paved road that connects Nimbasa City with the Driftveil Drawbridge. There is a trailer parked on the road, which is owned by the hungry maid. The entire northern strip of the route is a narrow, grassy path where players can encounter wild Pokémon.
Upon the initial visit in Black and White, the player will meet the Champion, Alder, for the first time. He will request that the player and Cheren battle two Preschoolers.
Once the player has entered the Hall of Fame, Cheren can be found facing the fence at the bottom of the route. He talks about strength and his journey, and then goes to Victory Road, where he can be fought for the final time.
In Black 2 and White 2, a Hidden Grotto is located in the alcove northeast of the trailer. Bianca will guide the player to it the first time Route 5 is visited. The player will encounter a male Minccino with Skill Link.
The Pokémon Breeder near the Hidden Grotto will sell 5 random Berries that raise the friendship of the Pokémon they are used on, but lower the base EVs of that Pokémon in one of their stats. She will sell the five Berries for a total of $200. The player can only buy 5 Berries once per day. As it is based on the random number generator, Berries can be manipulated by soft resetting the game, but only if the player does not talk to her. When the game is restarted, she will sell different Berries.
Driftveil Drawbridge is inaccessible until after the player battles the two PreschoolersBW or CharlesB2W2, both of which can only be battled after Elesa has been defeated.
Gourmet maniac
- Main article: Item maniac
A Maid found in the sole trailer on this route, will sniff out any gourmet cooking ingredients in the player's bag and offer to buy them for a price higher than usual.

Ash and his friends first arrived on Route 5 in Ash Versus the Champion!, where Ash met and had a battle with Champion Alder. The area is known as "Performers Square", and much like its game counterpart, musicians and artists perform in the area. A bit past the Driftveil Drawbridge is also a town which holds Pokémon Musical Contests, as shown in A Maractus Musical!.
In The Four Seasons of Sawsbuck!, it was shown that there is also a large forest located along Route 5, home to groups of Deerling and Sawsbuck. Deep in the forest is a mysterious place where, very rarely, all four seasonal forms of Sawsbuck can be seen together. As shown in The Lonely Deino!, there is a Day Care center close to Driftveil City, where Iris befriended a Deino.

Route 5 first appeared in Unraveling Mysteries, where White took Black there to talk about how her Tepig had chosen to go with N the day before. They then met a Baker named Chris, who took them to see the Battle Subway.
In Drawing Bridges, a mischievous Zorua was revealed to be tampering with the controls of the Driftveil Drawbridge, causing a line of people to form on Route 5 as they were unable to get to the other side.
