Route 113 is a perfect example of good route design that's been missing from modern Pokemon games for awhile. It's visually interesting (soot snow and grass), it's got additional content (collecting the soot for the glass blower), it has unique encounters (spinda and skarmory), local lore (it ties into Mt. Chimney and Fallarbor Town, as well as the specialized trainer classes appearing to show what kind of people frequent the area), and it's got a fair amount of NPCs to both talk with and battle. The only thing it's missing is a secret area that you can come back and access with further progression with special rewards, but you could certainly argue the Pretty furniture and secret base location count for that. Imo we need a ton more Route 113s and a ton less Poco Paths.

[@AzureFlute]

I think what I love about Route 113 and Mt. Chimney is something that is a general concept I love in, especially earlier, Pokémon regions where there's just unwritten, subtle worldbuilding that makes the game just feel that much more magical

As someone who started with Pokémon Crystal, it felt like a HUGE leap forward when I played Ruby for the first time. I still remember when my Mom gave me the game all these years later. I don’t think any Pokémon game since had that sort of pure magic about it. The music, the routes, the bad guys. This game felt much more high stakes.

[@bitzibaerlie]

Well put! I had a very similar experience. Hoenn had so many memorable places. Shoal Cave I spent so much time in. Sky Pillar as well but mainly because I was terrible at biking and did not know about repels. Also the whole underwater area and the legendary golems. Oh, and the shipwreck. No region ever felt that unique and diverse again for me. Newer regions have a lot of unique environments but they feel too patchworky for me. Hoenn feels very cohesive in comparison.

[@jogendrajoshi7327]

I started my journey with Pokemon Blue AND Pokemon Ruby AT ONCE! As a kid I was aware of gen 1 due to watching the anime regularly but gen 3 hadn't aired on TV in my country yet. It was crazy to see the level of upgrade in Ruby while simultaneously also playing Blue. I actually stopped playing Ruby midway so I could first finish Blue and then play Yellow, Gold and Crystal before resuming it.

[@miauw8762]

It is. Very well put. The leap from gen 2 to 3 is bigger than gen 1 to 2

[@peng1luver259]

As someone who experienced an ash storm, it actually was really cold as it blotted out the sun for days and made the sun red. Stupid forest fires causing volcano like storms.

[@AnimeKawaiiFantasyGameMusic]

For me, this route was like telling me how far I've gone in the game even though you're still heading to the 4th gym. I mean first of all, you get 2 rides from Mr. Briney getting to an island to another coast to see more green and familiar terrain other than the sandy terrain from Dewford town then you got met with that volcano cave then what's behind the volcanoes (that ashy route, the meteor falls, the grey rocks, etc.) which hit really different. I know the later games have those too but the later games give you fly so early that you can head back home quite easily making the hometown less magical. This part makes you feel like you've gone so far yet so near specially when you look at the map seeing how many short cuts there are to your home and having the right side of the map still needed to be explored. But before you even try to explore the right side of Hoenn, after getting surf, it's quite easy to get lost or side tracked surfing at the left side of Hoenn exploring different islands, the abandoned ship and so on since Mr. Briney disappeared. And once you finally decide on crossing the river at route 118, it would be a new adventure! I think Hoenn in general is just magical and no other Gens replicate that feeling. Black and White 2 was pretty close however.

[@dragonfye1]

I LOVE route 113 and Fallarbor Town. 😊 the Music of Fallarbor Town brings me back to being that scrawny preteen girl, snuggled into the porch swing at her Grandmother’s house on a warm summer day, Playing Sapphire Version. I loved turning the Fallarbor Towm theme on and just admire the Vermont Green Mountain Vista that the porch overlooked. If in turn it on now and close my eyes, i can almost still hear my Grandma’s kind voice and see her face as well.

Aw, thanks for sharing such sweet vivid childhood memories!

[@mrdrprofessor8849]

I remember going to the first Pokemon Symphonic Evolutions show in DC and having chills hearing the symphonic rendition of this theme. It's such a good short magical moment of the game that always makes me feel happy.

Enter Route 113, immerse yourself in the music, reflexively catch a snowflake on your tongue.

[@definitelyarealperson3835]

You really don’t want those “snowflakes” in your mouth.

[@Xeraser2]

Route 113's music is the only thing capable of absolutely breaking me, it's the absolute biggest source of melancholy for me. I still remember over 20 years ago when my Combusken evolved right after roasting a Skarmory near the glass workshop in my very first Sapphire playthrough when I was a little over 4 years old. It was a lonely and cold evening and I was sitting in my bear-themed orange folding chair by the TV in my old house and I still remember how warm the incandescent ceiling light looked. And that Blaziken? It was and still is the coolest Pokémon ever. Every time I hear Route 113 I just break down and cry silently, wishing I could go back to that evening even for a minute.

[@NintendoSegaGuys]

Inhaling volcanic ash may be deadly but watching it fall like snow is beautiful. I wish the ground had been darker in ORAS to match the soot covered tall grass but I still enjoyed revisiting the area.

Route 113 featuring Skarmory the Gen 3 Pokemon

[@Hex.A.Decimal]

It was originally snow! In the files, a cut Snowboarder trainer class was supposed to be fought on 113! I love the Volcanic Ash gimmick though. It fit next to Mt. Chimney. Sinnoh got plenty of snow next generation, and that fit with Mt. Coronet.

[@castform7]

I also really like the parasol lady. I'm quite fond of parasols as a Kirby fan and a train class having that as their defining feature is fun. Plus I really like her design and I think it's funny how she's probably the only one on the route being protected from coughing up ash.

[@JamieC_94]

Really enjoyed this video! In terms of other routes in Pokémon I consider 'iconic', I think it is mostly Hoenn that springs to mind. I think the improved graphics of the GBA compared to the Gen I and II games, and the theme of the region being 'people living with nature' combine well to create some really imaginative routes compared to the (mostly) ordinary grassy plains and pathways of Kanto and Johto. If I had to name one section of Hoenn that is particularly iconic to me, I'd say the rainforests of Route 119 and Route 120. As a child playing Sapphire for the first time, entering Route 119 really felt like I was on a proper adventure, moving away from well-maintained paths between big cities and moving into something a lot more wild. My handcanon as a 9-year-old kid was that tourists who wanted to travel between Slateport and Lilycove would probably just take a ship, and it was only Pokemon Rangers who wanted to see the nature, or serious trainer who wanted challenge the Foretree Gym, who would go the long way around. In terms of routes in other regions I like, I always found Johto Routes 38 and 39 exciting as a kid. Less for the way the routes looked and felt, but more for the music. Again, the sense of adventure and grandness of it always appealed to me as a child.

[@vegetashairline3060]

this kind of video is what i live for. Just a guy sharing his love for something completely innocuous that brings memories back from others. Its fantastic

[@TizioRandom77]

I always loved this route too, especially because it's a great example of great world building and contextualization! Hoenn is a tropical hot region, so having a snow route makes no sense, making it a "snow" route with volcano ashes was a genius idea to have one but without ruining this aspect. Great video :)

[@castform7]

Route 113 is so cool. The atmosphere is so unique and the soot gimmick is very charming. One route I always look forward to (unless I'm trying to catch a Skarmory, those guys are allergic to Pokeballs).

[@leilaclarridge5807]

This route, as well as frequent brushes with lava and traversal in the deep sea, makes me think that humans in the Pokemon world are way more durable than humans in the real world. The ash would be a respiratory hazard for real humans, because it's basically flaked glass made from volcanic mineral, yet there are even little kids hiding out under it when it should be destroying their eyes. It makes sense considering what they have to deal with on a regular basis, what with all of the fire breathing, blizzard whipping, sandstorm summoning, rock throwing beasts everywhere. Human in the world of Pokemon must have evolved to survive things that would kill us.

[@Oceane1803]

But doesn't all that ash make many people in the Hoenn region, including Wally because of his respiratory problems, sick ? And isn't that the reason why Wally has to go live in Verdanturf ? Because it's the one place in Hoenn that's completely spared by the ash ?

A route that actually gives you a reason to not just go back, but to hang out in it. Now that's world immersion.

[@-Jansen155]

It's almost like they wanted to put a snowy area in Hoenn, but couldn't because of the region's warm climate. So they got very creative by showing what a tropical version of snow would look like. 113 really immersed me in the alien reality of volcanic ash being playground-like weather, drawing a parallel to snow. Then there's the actual "Winter" area of Shoal Cave, which is late-game and located basically in the ocean, somewhere that could realistically be very cold despite Hoenn's climate.

I love this route but when i was replaying my sapphire game a few years back, I noticed all the ninja kids buried in the ash to hide and thought about how they could potentially accidentally get smothered and lose their life - but felt that I was thinking too hard about it. Until I inspected one of those mounds that indicates a hidden trainer and this time it was the TM for Rock Tomb. Which made me feel like it was kinda confirmed...

[@wartty]

Every now and then I yearn to go back to the night I discovered you could exchange the ash for items. Some kids Christmas movies were on, and all I needed to be happy with walking back and forth on the grass, it wasn't tedious, it was exhilarating for an 8yo me. Glad I got to be alive when I did

I could talk all day about how spectacular the route music is here. The echoing horns evoke such a feeling of adventure and the music here in general is a big part of why I think Route 113 is a big turning point in the story and gameplay. It’s a big shift from the routes/nature scenes the player has seen so far and this is right around the point where it feels like the region/the map are really starting to open up for the player. 10/10 game design

Yet you are right in that there is a certain . . . peaceful calming aspect to it that provides ambiance in it's own unique and special way. Its just such a pitty that barely anyone even knows it's here and what little those of us who have experienced is just . . . never enough.
