Route description
In Diamond and Pearl, as players enter from the north via they first encounter grass containing wild Pokémon. The route continues directly south past a body of water leading to, before reaching its southern terminus at Resort Area. To the east of the grassy patch is a curved section of long grass filled with various items and Trainers before reaching a southern terminus in the Resort Area.

The route featured extensive redesign in Platinum, with the major detail being the lack of open water to access on the western side. Instead, a narrow corridor between palm trees is found. The remaining changes are primarily aesthetic, such as the trees, and a new grass and pavement texture.

Trivia
