==Trivia==
* The in-game maps show Route 3 leaving Striaton City directly from the west. However, the actual entrance to the city is a north-south entrance.
* The two westernmost columns of tall grass in the patch closest to Nacrene City are subject to a graphical glitch: Seven tall grass sprites in each column are squashed to fit into six spaces on the world's grid. The player still moves along this grid, thus disaligning them with the grass sprites in these rows.
* In , two hidden items on this route—the Ultra Ball in the sandbox and the Rare Candy in the dark grass—are not detected by the Dowsing Machine.
