Route 224 after activating the Oak's Letter event in Diamond and Pearl
Route 224 (Japanese: 224ばんどうろRoute 224) is a route in eastern Sinnoh. It is connected to Victory Road at its western end. While normally a dead end, the eastern end of the route can be extended onto Seabreak Path via Oak's Letter.
Route 224 is a narrow peninsula on the same island as Victory Road, stretching to the east. It is described as a miniature of the Sinnoh region. At its end is a white rock which Professor Oak says, if the player has Oak's Letter, has a counterpart in the Kanto region. This unlocks the special event in which players can catch Shaymin.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
Trainers with a Vs. Seeker by their names, when alerted for a rematch using the item, may use higher-level Pokémon.

Route 224 briefly appeared in The Final Dimensional Duel IV, where Marley was shown having come from the route, following the instructions in Oak's Letter, to find Shaymin and ask its help for the final battle against Team Galactic.
This route has one of three movie cameos in the game. The aforementioned Easter egg is Ace TrainerRebecca, a Trainer who analyzes battles using her laptop. She challenges the player with her Metagross. However, this cameo was not recognized by translators, as English versions call her Jamie (in the Japanese version her name is ヒトミHitomi, like in the movie).
