Pokémon world routes

Route 118 is an east-west route, located in central Hoenn. The route, separated into two segments by the southern extent of a river that splits Hoenn into two huge islands, runs between Mauville City to the west and Route 123 to the east. While the western segment is densely populated with trainers on a beach, the eastern half is dominated by grass.

An interesting feature of Route 118 is that it is the only route in the Pokémon World with two types of background music. The music changes whether the player enters the route in its eastern half (from Routes 117 and 119) or in its western half (from Mauville City).

Route description

Western segment

From Mauville, the route is straightforward, traveling directly east-west between the city limits and the west bank of the river. The western half of this path is composed of fields while the eastern portion is a sandy beach.

When trainers first encounter the river, it is impassable, as they are often lacking HM03 (Surf) at this point. After acquiring the move and the ability to use it outside of battle, trainers can cross the river to reach the eastern half.

The short river path runs directly east-west and contains no trainers, leaving wild Pokémon as the only concern.

Eastern segment

Route 118 comes ashore on another beach containing a pair of Fisherman. Gabby and Ty are often found in the area as well, looking for up-and-coming Pokémon trainers to battle and interview.

The route continues east, along a northern ledge. After passing through a large patch of grass, Route 118 comes to a three-way intersection. The northern path leads to Route 119, while the eastern path runs through another large patch of grass, before becoming Route 123.

Heading north from the intersection, a four-way intersection allows access to the upper areas that overlook the main path of Route 118. To the west is another trainer, a small area of grass, and a loamy soil patch containing two Sitrus Berry plants. To the east is yet another grass patch and a Hyper Potion. Continuing north, the path becomes Route 119.

Trivia

• A glitch, only in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, allowed players to make Aroma Lady Rose walk over the ledge to start a battle. This was corrected in Pokémon Emerald, as she was part of a double battle by then.
• If the player enters the route in the eastern half the music is shared with Routes 110, 111, 112, 114, and 117, while if the player enters the route from Mauville City (western half), the music used is shared with Route 119.
  • Strangely, the music associated with this route in the game programming is on the space 7FFF. This music is equal to the music played in the Route 119. The reason for this is unknown.
