Route description

A can heal the player's Pokémon inside the school building. The player can travel westwards to find two separate paths, one that leads west and another that leads south; a patch of tall grass is located at the top of the intersection. The player can continue down the west path to find Wellspring Cave and a large patch of grass, or to the south, which winds around the shore of a pond.

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 him or her with the grass sprites in these rows.
