Route 18
The path of Route 18 runs directly east-west for its entire length. Just outside Fuchsia is a small area south of the route's main path. Inside of this area is a large patch of tall grass occupied chiefly by wild Flying-type Pokémon and Trainers that specialize in them. West of the secluded area is a gate that leads to Cycling Road /Pokémon Road. Before Generation VII, this side of the route needs a Bicycle to pass, or the player will be turned back east to Fuchsia. In Generation VII, Trainers can pass through at any point after waking either Snorlax on Route 12 and/or Route 16, as Cycling Road has reopened as Pokémon Road. On the second floor of the station, Trainers can participate in a trade in Generations I and III. The details of the trade differ by version, however.
