Diglett's Cave in Generation III

Diglett's Cave (Japanese: ディグダのあな Digda's Hole) is a long tunnel dug by wild Diglett and Dugtrio in Kanto. The northern entrance is on Route 2, south of Pewter City, and the southern entrance is on Route 11, near the eastern edge of Vermilion City (although in Generation II it was located within Vermilion City). The passage is famous for connecting these two routes. Regardless of what Generation a trainer encounters Diglett's Cave in, the trainer must pass through the cave at one point or another, either to continue the storyline or to access the western Kanto cities of Pewter and Viridian, as well as Pallet Town. Appropriately, Diglett's Cave is one of only two places where Diglett and Dugtrio can be captured, the other being Route 228 in Sinnoh.

Geography

As a whole, the cave runs from the northwest to the southeast, passing under Celadon City, Route 7, and Route 6 as it progresses toward Vermilion from Pewter. There are no points of interest along the cave; however, the cave is the only location where wild Diglett and Dugtrio are found in Kanto.

The usefulness of the cave as a connector route between Routes 2 and 11 has allowed Diglett's Cave to become one of the most important non-numbered routes in the Pokémon world. In fact, after the player enters Cerulean City, the only way to return to Pewter City and Viridian City without using Surf or Fly is to travel through Diglett's Cave.

Differences among generations

Generation II

The cave was slightly shorter than in Generation I.

Generation III

The cave was much longer than in any other generation.

Generation IV

The cave is the same length as it was in Generation II. This makes it one of very few Kanto areas to retain its length from Generation II. The only change is the addition of Rock Climb walls, that allow access to a higher level of the cave.

Trivia

Until the release of Diamond and Pearl, Diglett's Cave was the only location where Diglett could be caught. This changed with the addition of Route 228 in said games.
