'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Kanto]] route that segmentally augments [[Route 24]], serving as its contiguous eastern outlet. 

As the residential route of Bill, this area must be traveled onto in order for Kanto's successional line of gyms to be progressible, since his mini-task must be completed in order for him to bequeath you his [[S.S. Anne]] ticket. This is required for its [[S.S. Anne (quest)|quest]] wherein [[TMs and HMs#HMs|HM01]] ([[Cut]]) is rewarded; this must be used in order for [[Vermilion Gym]] to be reachable and to ultimately advance in the regional gym line.

It is advisable to hunt for a [[Grass_(type)|Grass]]-type Pokémon on this route for those who are preparatively training to battle Misty in [[Cerulean Gym]], as it will conduce a more type-advantageous lineup against her.

==Notable miscellanies==
===Bill's House===
[[File:Bill's_House_(interior).png|right|222px|thumb|An interior vantage point on Bill's house.]]

Nearby the pond in the northeasternmost segment of the route is the house of Bill—a renowned Pokémon-researcher in the Pokémon franchise.

In PRO, his house must be visited before going aboard the S.S. Anne in [[Vermilion City]] in order to complete his mini-task; that entails finding his lost book, which can be found underneath his bed.

Once you have retrieved his book, he will reward you his S.S. Anne ticket. Do note that this is not a tangible item; it is an invisible data flag, so while it is imperceptible in your inventory, it is assuredly existent.
===Item Maniac===

{{Main|Valuable Items}}
This is also the residential route of the only Item Maniac in Kanto—a collector of [[Valuable Items]]. He will buy any valuable item you have on-hand, such as the Nugget that you obtained from the battleable Team Rocket NPC on this route.
===Stardust-vendor===
A Stardust-vendor is stationed outside of the Item Maniac's house.

He will sell 3 Stardusts per day (maximally) for {{Pdollar}}9,000 apiece; while this would cause a net deficit if you were to sell it to the Item Maniac nearby, since they are sellable for half the price in {{Pdollar}}4,500 apiece, this NPC is still considered facilitative for those who need Stardust for a designated [[Daycare System|daycare quest]], as it purveys a more expeditious method of obtaining Stardust as opposed to [[Diggable Patches|digging]] for one.

===Psyduck Quest===
This quest can only be done if [[Pikachu]] was not chosen as the Kanto starter.

When approaching Bill's house, someone asking for help can be heard. This comes from a [[Psyduck]], directly south of Bill's house. Speaking to it starts the Psyduck quest. The [[Psyduck]] will thank the player for saving it, surely from drowning. 

He will ask to go save other [[Psyduck|Psyducks]], then to go see him again. There are two other [[Psyduck|Psyducks]], which can be within 4 different locations in [[Kanto]], as follow:
*[[Route 12]]
*[[Route 20]]
*[[Celadon City]]
*[[Vermilion City]]

Once the two [[Psyduck|Psyducks]] have been found and rescued, the [[Psyduck]] of this route will thank the player and give a [[Psyduck Hat]] as a reward. In addition, he will also fight the player as a wild Pokémon. He will be level 20 and sync-able.
