Route 5
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. In Generations I, III, and VII, Route 5 can be accessed two ways from Cerulean City: by cutting the cuttable trees on the southern portion of the city with Cut or Chop Down or by going around the 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.
