Pokémon world routes

Route 25 is an east-west route located in northeast Kanto. It is the highest numbered Route in Kanto in Generations I and III. The western terminus is at Route 24 northeast of the Nugget Bridge. The eastern terminus is at Cerulean Cape near Bill's Lighthouse in the anime or Bill's Sea Cottage in the games.

Route 25 is one of only two routes in the Pokémon world that is a dead end (the other being Route 224 in Sinnoh).

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Suicune can be found and be caught behind Bill's Sea Cottage after roaming throughout Johto and Kanto.

Route description

Heading from west to east, Route 25 initially begins as a extension to Route 24. To the east, Route 25 comes to a maze of trees (Generations I and II) or shrubs (Generation III). Regardless of the Generation, the maze is full of trainers ready to battle. To the northwest of the maze is a patch of grass containing wild Pokémon.

Near the east end of the maze, there is a Cut-able tree blocking an area that contains an item. By removing the tree, trainers can collect either TM19, Seismic Toss (Generation I), Protein (Generation II), or TM43, Secret Power (Generation III).

East of the maze, the route opens up to its widest point before condensing slightly near a pair of trainers (I/III) or a single trainer (II) and the first of two ponds near the east end of the route. To the north of a land bridge between the two ponds is the Sea Cottage, the home of Pokémon Researcher Bill.

Route 25 continues east, turning south at the ocean shoreline and passing along a narrow strip of land between the ocean and the eastern pond. At the southern tip of the pond, the route turns west, intersecting the land bridge as it runs along the southern edge of the ponds. Just to the west of the pond, the route turns north for a yard before doubling back to the west, running along the southern edge of the route's main path as it feeds into the "express route", one way portion of Route 24. The existence of the long, narrow bypass south of Route 25 allows for quick, hassle-free travel between the Cape and its namesake city. However, due to a ledge at the southern terminus of Route 24 in Cerulean City, the reverse is not possible.

In the Pokémon Special manga

Route 25 debuts in the Red, Green & Blue chapter in ...But Fearow Itself! as the place where is located Bill's Sea Cottage.

Differences among generations

Generations I and III

File:R25rby.PNG

Route 25 in Generation I.

The route layout in Generations I and III are nearly identical. The only change is the closing of the hill behind the Sea Cottage in Generation III.

Generation II

File:R25gsc.png

Route 25 in Generation II.

In Generation II, the maze was reduced in size and more trainers were added to the west side of Route 25. This move was made due to the loss of the Nugget Bridge in Generation II. To compensate, the challenge has been moved from the bridge on Route 24 to the maze on Route 25. At the end of the maze, the reward for defeating all of the trainers in the maze is a Nugget.

In the anime

This is the Route where Ash Ketchum caught his Squirtle.
