What is on a Pokémon map
Everything you would otherwise be hunting for is already pinned on it.
- Wild Pokémon
- Every species, method and rate: grass, surf, fishing, headbutt, time of day and season where the game has them.
- Items
- Visible balls on the tile you pick them up from, and the hidden ones you would otherwise walk straight past.
- Trainers
- Names, classes and full parties with levels, standing where they actually block the path.
- Gym leaders
- Their team and levels, on the town page rather than buried in a gym.
- Every door
- Houses, gyms, caves and each floor inside them, linked to the room they open into.
- Shops
- What each mart sells, which for a shop floor is the only thing on it worth knowing.
Pokémon maps by region
A region is not one game. Kanto alone has been drawn 4 times, so each region page starts with a map and lets you pick the version you are playing.

Frequently asked questions
- What is Routepedia?
- Routepedia is a set of interactive maps for the Pokémon games. You open a region, click any place on it, and see what is actually there: the wild Pokémon and how often they appear, the items lying around and the ones buried, the trainers and the teams they are carrying. It covers 34 games and 2,951 places, and it is free to use with no account.
- How is it different from a wiki?
- A wiki tells you about a place. This shows you the place. You pan across a whole region the way you would a real map, click the town you are standing in, and read what is in it without leaving the picture. Every location also has its own page for the detail that does not fit on a pin.
- Are the maps accurate?
- The maps are computed from each game rather than traced by hand, so a route is the shape the game draws and a Pokémon is on the tile it is really on. That also means the encounter rates, item positions and trainer teams come out of the same pass, instead of being copied between pages where a number can quietly go wrong.
- Which Pokémon games are covered?
- 34 games across five regions and 6 handhelds: Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Diamond, Pearl, Black, White, Black 2, White 2, New Pokémon Snap, X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Legends: Arceus, Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon, Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, Scarlet, Violet.
- Why does one region look different in different games?
- Because it is redrawn every generation. Kanto in Red is grey Game Boy tiles and Kanto in HeartGold is a 3D world, and what lives in the grass changes with the art. So each game gets its own map here rather than everything sharing one picture with a note attached.
- Can I find where a specific Pokémon lives?
- The Pokémon Locator does that. Pick a species and you get every place it turns up across all 34 games, with the method you catch it by and the level it shows up at. There are 770 species in it.
- Does it work on a phone?
- The maps pan and zoom on touch the same way they do with a mouse, and there is nothing to install. The site is built as static pages, so it loads on a bad connection and keeps working.
- Is Routepedia free?
- Yes. No account, no sign-up, no paywall, and the map pages carry no ads.
