Kanto Route 5

Route 5 is a route located in northern Kanto. It connects Cerulean City in the north to Saffron City in the south. The northern terminus of the Underground Path is located on this route.

Route 5 is a small pathway that is divided into three vertical parts: two pathways and a one-way, grass-filled middle with ledges that separates the two two-way paths. This middle section, accessible only from the Cerulean end, leads to the Pokémon Day Care just north of Saffron. The route is a simple north-south path with no turns other than those at the termini as it enters the cities of Cerulean and Saffron.

Route 5 can be accessed two ways from Cerulean City: by cutting the cut-able trees on the southern portion of the city, or by going around city from the house attacked by the Team Rocket Grunt. At this point the route turns south, while Trainers can choose between going down the ledges or by traveling around it. If Trainers choose one of the pathways east or west of the ledged pathway, that will travel south until they get to the gate to Saffron City.

There is also an Underground Path on the southeastern corner of Route 5 that passes under Saffron and comes out on Route 6 in the south, north of Vermilion City. This path is to allow Trainers and other people to pass Saffron without traveling through the city itself, which comes to a convenience during the period when the Officers at the city's gates are thirsty and will not let anyone through.

Pokémon Daycare
There is a Daycare in the middle of the route, between two ledges. Note that this is not the same Daycare, where Pokémon can be bred, instead Trainers can leave their Pokémon with the Daycarer for it to gain experience while the Trainer is away. Pokémon in the Daycare recieve 20% of the total Exp. the player is earning. This is not a shared experience, thus the Pokémon actually gaining the points recieve the full amount (not like the item Exp. Share). Effort Values are not shared either. Pokémon do not evolve while in the Daycare and when a new move is learned it will always replace the move in the first slot. Breaking out a Pokémon from the Daycare costs 1,000 + 1,000 × levels gained.
