Route 21 Guide
Route 21 is the western surf road between Pallet and Cinnabar, turning the south edge of Kanto into a long coastal link.
Travel the route
This route links Pallet Town and Cinnabar Island by water. It is quieter than the Fuchsia side, but it matters because it gives Pallet a real late-game role again.
What matters here
What matters here is access. Route 21 makes Pallet useful, keeps the south-western sea relevant, and gives you a cleaner coastal loop than trekking back through the inland cities every time.
Come back later
Come back when you want the Pallet-to-Cinnabar water line or a different southern Kanto route than the Fuchsia coast gives you.

Map Movement Tips
These clues come from the map tiles, so they are handy when you are planning which moves or paths matter here.
Surf opens water paths here
Water tiles can become paths once you can Surf.
Bring a Surf user after earning Fog Badge if you want every shoreline path.
Repel Planning
If your lead Pokémon is above a wild level, Repel skips it. These checkpoints show what disappears completely.
