As your first outing, you have no Pokémon, meaning if you even attempt to go in the grass, your mom will come and tell you not to go in the grass so go to the left, to come to [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Verity Lakefront|Verity Lakefront]], and continue from there.
===Second Time===
On your second visit to this route, go back towards Twinleaf, and Rowan and his assistant will be in your way, apparently very annoyed. The assistant says to come see them at their laboratory in Sandgem Town. The game cuts out and you are back home in [[../Twinleaf Town#After returning from Lake Verity|Twinleaf Town]].
===Third Time===
On your third visit, instead of taking the left path, start through the grass, talking to the Poké Mart salesman to receive a free potion. Continue up through the grass, and to the right to reach [[../Sandgem Town|Sandgem Town]].
Since you have your starter pokémon now, you can fight wild pokémon and level it up. You can't catch any pokémon yet until you visit Professor Rowan. You will only run into Starly and Bidoof.

Route 201 is located along apleasant woody path in the forest. You can go west on the route to reach Verity Lakefront and eventually Lake Verity. East is the way to Sandgem Town. If you try to go to Sandgem Town instead of Lake Verity on your first visit your mom will stop you from entering the grass.

Route 201

Events

First Time

As your first outing, you have no Pokémon, meaning if you even attempt to go in the grass, your mom will come and tell you not to go in the grass so go to the left, to come to Verity Lakefront, and continue from there.

Second Time

On your second visit to this route, go back towards Twinleaf, and Rowan and his assistant will be in your way, apparently very annoyed. The assistant says to come see them at their laboratory in Sandgem Town. The game cuts out and you are back home in Twinleaf Town.

Third Time

On your third visit, instead of taking the left path, start through the grass, talking to the Poké Mart salesman to receive a free potion. Continue up through the grass, and to the right to reach Sandgem Town.

Since you have your starter pokémon now, you can fight wild pokémon and level it up. You can't catch any pokémon yet until you visit Professor Rowan. You will only run into Starly and Bidoof.

New Pokémon

#396 Starly

Starly are the basic Normal/Flying Pokémon in this game. Like Pidgey from earlier games, Starly evolves twice, making it a good Pokémon to pick up when you can. The Flying attacks it learns will be helpful throughout the game, and we also need a Fly and Defog slave for this game.

#399 Bidoof

Bidoof is a strange little Pokémon, similar to Rattata in the sense that they are annoying and actually evolve into something useful. Picking one of these guys up also wouldn't hurt, especially as a HM slave.

#401 Kricketot

Straight out of the box Kricketot isn't worth a Safari ball, let alone the Poké Ball you caught it with. Its one saving grace is at level 10 it evolves into the fairly decent, pure bug type, Kricketune.
