Pokémon world routes

Route 5 is a path running north to south from Cerulean City to Saffron City. In the games prominently featuring Kanto, the thirsty guard at the lookout station that separates Saffron from Route 5 will not let anyone pass through to Saffron until some gets them a drink (Tea (Generation III); Lemonade, Water, or Soda Pop (Generation I)) from Celadon City.

Route description

The route is a simple north-south path with no turns other than those at the termini as it enters the cities of Cerulean and Saffron.

Route 5 is divided into three parts: two pathways and a one-way, ledge and grass-filled middle that separate the two two-way paths. This middle section, accessible only from the Cerulean end, leads to the Pokémon Daycare just north of Saffron.

There is also an Underground Path on Route 5 that passes under Saffron and comes out on Route 6 in the south, north of Vermilion City.
