Trivia

• The theme for this route, as well as Route 6, Route 7, and Route 8, is a shortened version of the theme used in the northern parts of the Wild Area.
• There is a Swimmer here who tells the player that he can swim all the way from Galar to Kalos. This is a double reference to the famous English Channel crossing swims between England and France, and to X and Y, where the player can meet a similar Swimmer who said he could swim all the way from Kalos to Hoenn.
