NO WAY am I gonna choose one. Each and every route was always memorable to me, in some way. So I'm just gonna list my faves from each region ye ye ye
KANTO
Route 16, and 17
Route 16. If you can't remember where that is, it's that spot just five paces outside Celadon. The northern part is where you can find a house, in it a Trainer who gives you HM Fly. My favourite part about this route is that when you enter it, it narrows, before widening into something much, much more big, waiting to be explored.
I'd live in that house with the trainer because of how peaceful this whole area is tbh.
Route 17 is the opposite of that, though. Kanto's famouse Cycling Road, home to motorcyclists and cyclists alike. Located central Kanto, connecting route 16 and 18. Bro this place was THEHEHEHe spot to train I tell you. And as a kid, I had a blast pacing around this place.
JOHTO
Route 32, and Route 39
Route 32 is that loooong road (at least it was for me) that you encounter at the beginning of the game, right after exiting Violet city. You have the east entrance to the Ruins of Alph to your west, and go down a lil' you'll spot the sea, with some fishermen there, too. South of it is Union Cave, also. What I love about this route is the fact that the track of the Johto Magnet Train can be seen right above your head. Just like the map description said, nature meets technology.
After leaving Ecruteak and weaving through trees, you'll be faced with the farm located on Route 39. This place is just grassy and breezy. And the fact that it connects my favourite place in Johto, Olivine City, is also a plus. It's just so relaxing going south on your bike, breezing through already fought trainers.
HOENN
[[THIS WA S A HARD CHOICE FOR ME BC I LOVE HOENN'S HUGE WORLD AND EXPLORATION *stares at desert and sea and the route before Lilycove*-- BUT IN THE END I SETTLED WITH]]
Route 118, and 119
118 brings the east and west sides of Hoenn together. Where you meet Steven after such a long time. The route with the three way intersection. The eastern path leads to Route 123, which is another memorable route for me (mostly because of the Berry Master and confusing paths).
Go north, you'll enter...
Route 119. Connects 118 and Fortree. Home of the Weather Institute. The place where I found myself switching Mach and Acro bikes more often than I could count. This route is just brimming with hidden places to explore, really. Not to mention, it's beautiful. Whoever says this region is tropical, they were probably thinking of this route. Also the music here brings back so many memories I cry. I LOVE HOENN.
SINNOH
[[This, again, was a difficult choice for me. Because this region??? Brings back so many memories???]]
Route 225
When I think of Sinnoh...what comes to mind is the pretty graphics, the atmosphere, the snowy areas, and most of all, the Routes -- I remember it all vividly. I haven't replayed D/P/PT since what? 3 yearS??? I've tried doing nuzlockes, yes, but I gave up at the beginning. BUT despite it all I remember every detail there is to remember. The trainers, the catchable Pokemon on each route,...all those things! ...
Well, except for the music. I never really recall the music on each distinct area in Sinnoh. Oh, but the popular ones I do. Jubilife City, Lake theme, Eterna Forest...but that's really it, though. That's not to say the soundtrack in this game is forgettable in any way, it's just been such a long time. But, there's this one route which music I'll always remember.
225. Northeastern Sinnoh, located on the battle zone. Accessible only after the post game, and after seeing all the Pokemon there are to see in the region. Route 225 itself is fairly big, and challenging to traverse, too. It's mountainous and has multiple raised areas which are connected by bridges. But despite that, I've always loved the music here. It gives off a sense of adventure and joy. Like it's saying "your journey isn't really over". This place will always bring back good memories. And I have the soundtrack to thank for that.
