Route 8

Serving as a connecting route for Lavender Town and Saffron City in Kanto, many Pokémon Trainers can be seen scattering around Route 8. There is an Underground Path Entrance leading to Route 7 on the western end of this route.

Players are unable to enter Saffron City from Route 8 at first, due to a guard standing in front the entrance. Hence, the Underground Path has to be taken in order to reach Celadon City. The guard will automatically leave once Erika, the gym leader of Celadon Gym, is defeated.
