Route 101 (Japanese: １０１ばんどうろ Route 101) is a route in southwestern Hoenn, connecting Littleroot Town and Oldale Town.

Route description

Route 101, the first route which Trainers from Littleroot Town traverse on, is home to a wide array of different Pokémon. Hence, Professor Birch often performs his studies here. Heading south from Oldale, Trainers can hop over two ledges to reach Littleroot without having to trek through grassy areas containing wild Pokémon. The path itself, on the other hand, turns east, traveling through the first of three grass patches. Route 101 then turns south into another patch of grass as it heads west. The route forms a "U" at this point, turning south and immediately backpedaling east near the third patch of grass. Route 101 then turns south as it enters Littleroot.

At the start of the game, the player meets Professor Birch as he is being attacked by a wild Pokémon. The player then battles the Pokémon with either a Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip, found in Poké Balls in the Professor's bag. Whichever of the three Pokémon that is chosen will become the player's starter Pokémon.
