Route 226 (Japanese: ２２６ばんすいどう Water Route 226) is a water route in northeastern Sinnoh, located in the Battle Zone. It connects the Survival Area, Route 227 and Route 228.

Route description

If starting from the eastern end of the route, those wishing to cross Route 226 must first make their way through a brief patch of tall grass. Surfing around a few rocks, players will soon encounter the Meister's house. He is a multilingual traveler who lives alone in a house on a small island. Inside his house, the player may trade a Finneon for a Magikarp. This apparently unfair trade will unlock the Foreign Pokédex entries option, as the Meister's Pokémon is German in origin. Certain Pokémon, once imported from non-English games, will display their Pokédex entries in the language of the game in which they were originally caught. In Diamond and Pearl, the Pokémon and language lists are limited, but in Platinum, all Pokémon are supported by this feature.

The remainder of the route is simplistic in nature. There are a few Trainers with high-leveled Pokémon, and many wild Pokémon on both land and in the water. HM08 (Rock Climb) is required in order to access the upper area of the Survival Area.

Trivia

• It is possible to become permanently trapped on Meister's island. This can only occur if the player has no fishing rods and only a Finneon that knows Surf in their party (and possibly other Pokémon, as long as they cannot learn Surf or Fly and do not know Teleport). By trading that Finneon for Meister's Magikarp, the player will no longer have a Pokémon that can Surf, and will be trapped. With no fishing rods, there is no way to enter a battle and lose in order to return to a Pokémon Center. The player must also have insufficient Rare Candies to evolve any party Pokémon into Pokémon that can learn Surf or Fly (including Magikarp into Gyarados) or to have a party Pokémon learn Teleport, or any Pokémon that could learn any of these moves must be level 100 to prevent Rare Candies from working (Magikarp can be obtained at level 100 by trading a level 100 Finneon).
