Route 31

This route is the third route that Trainers starting in New Bark Town will arrive at. Like the route before it, Route 31 contains more than an even share of ledges that players need to go around to get to Violet City, but may jump over on their way back. A small pond is north of the route, just west of Dark Cave. Featuring few Trainers and a small area, all that a traveling Trainer really has to look out for on this route are the wild Pokémon. There is a man who seems to be in a sleep-like state that is located next to the pond. He doesn't actually do anything when first encountered, but will be useful later on in the game. At the gate on Route 35 leading from Goldenrod, there is a guard who will give the player a Spearow with Mail attached to deliver to this man.
