Route 17

Route 17 is a path connecting Birch Town and Holly City, which lie on the eastern and western edges of the path, respectively. It is a route full of tall grass, mountainous areas, and many trees. It is also packed with trainers and various wild pokemon to allow new trainers to spend time familiarizing themselves with the area. The route also contains two patches of soft soil with several berry trees along the looping path to Holly City.
