Kanto Route 18

Route 18 (Japanese: １８ Route 18) is a route located in southern Kanto. It connects in the west to Fuchsia City in the east.
==Route description==
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 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 will be turned back east to Fuchsia. In Generation VII, Trainers can pass through at any point after waking either on and/or , 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 . The details of the trade differ by version, however.
West of the gate, Route 18 continues along a narrow strip of land bordered on both sides by water. After a short distance, the route turns north, becoming Route 17 at a gap in a ledge along the route. In Generation II only, Route 17 starts immediately after the gate.

The western terminus of the route was moved to the gate in Generation II. Also, the gate was moved farther west onto the narrow strip of land and the remaining portion of Route 18 exposed to water was blocked off by stones. The number of Trainers in the grassy area was reduced to one, and a Trainer was placed onto Route 18 itself to compensate.
===Generation IV===
Aside from the groups of trees being in slightly different locations, Generation IV is very similar to the route in Generations I and III.
===Generation VII===
As the western side of Route 18 no longer requires a Bicycle, the player's can use the Secret Technique Sea Skim to cross the water and find sea Pokémon. There are three Trainers in the grassy area.
