It's a good idea to take some time and train your Pokémon in Route #22.  If you're playing the Yellow version, you'll have the opportunity to catch a Mankey. Be sure that you do. Otherwise, be sure to pick up whichever Nidoran is more prevalent in the version you're playing, both if you're trying to complete your Pokédex.  If you also stumble upon a Spearow, it makes a nice addition to your collection.  If you would like to earn extra EXP (and [[File:Pokebuck.png]]280), you can challenge your rival in Route #22 by heading west towards the pond along the top path.  Before you do, make sure that you have a few strong Pokémon, and that they're fighting fit!  You may wish to wait until after you've traveled through [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Viridian Forest|Viridian Forest]] to conduct this battle... or skip it entirely. 


When you're done in Route #22, make your way back to Viridian City and exit through the north path to reach Route #2.  Much of this route is inaccessible to you early on in the game, but that will change in time.  For now, your only concern is reaching the entrance to Viridian Forest.  Don't bother hunting for Caterpies or Weedles out here, they're more plentiful in the forest.

Revision as of 00:35, 25 April 2014

Route 22 leads you back to the Pokémon League Reception Gate that you passed through earlier on your way to battle the Elite Four. If you talk to Professor Oak after you have all eight Kanto Badges, the person who was blocking the way to Mt. Silver will be gone.

Pokemon GSC map Route 22.png

You've been just about everywhere on the map, but your quest isn't over yet. Speak to Professor Oak, and he'll tell you of a location that isn't on the map: Template:~. You can get there from the crossroad between Template:~ and Template:~. To get back there quickly and easily, just head west from Template:~, and cut through Route 22. The Pokémon that you find here are pushovers, but they're about to get a lot harder...
