Route 8
Route 8 is a route in eastern Kanto, connecting Lavender Town and Saffron City.
Geography
Route 8 is a unique route traveling along east to west from Lavender Town to Saffron City. The dirt road between the two towns winds around in a sideways "S" pattern, traveling past fields and meadows. Starting from the eastern side, Trainers exit Lavender and make their way west, where they come to a forest of trees blocking the path, which must be avoided by turning south and then west again to continue on though the route. The route then makes its way north past a field enclosed by a fence, which can be entered from a small gap which is filled by a cut-able tree.
If Trainers enter the field, they will come up to a spotted patch of tall grass surrounded by red flowers; this is the only patch of tall grass on the route. Rare Pokémon such as Growlithe and Vulpix inhabit the tall grass. There is another small gap which is filled by another cut-able tree on the western side of the field that Trainers can exit, cutting the corner around the field.
At the western end of the route travelers can either continue west or head north. The western path goes through a gate to Saffron City; this gate is blocked by police until Team Rocket is defeated. The northern route ends at the entrance to the Underground Path which is locked.
