Route 25 Gold & Silver · Kanto route

Route 25 leads east from the top of Route 24 to the cape where Bill's family home, the Sea Cottage, stands. In Gold and Silver the old Nugget Bridge challenge has moved here: six trainers in a row, an extra Super Nerd, and Cooltrainer Kevin at the end. Misty is also found here on a date during the Power Plant storyline, and Bill's grandfather gives evolution stones for showing him certain Pokémon.

Tips
- Beat the six trainers in a row, plus Super Nerd Pat, then talk to Cooltrainer Kevin: he gives you a Nugget and then challenges you with a level 38 Rhyhorn, level 35 Charmeleon and level 35 Wartortle.
- Bill's grandfather in the Sea Cottage gives an Everstone for a Lickitung, a Leaf Stone for an Oddish, a Water Stone for a Staryu, a Fire Stone for a Growlithe in Gold or a Vulpix in Silver, and a Thunderstone for a Pichu.
- He only accepts one Pokémon per visit, and you must show them in that order, so leave and come back between each one.
- After the Cerulean Gym scene, walking near the Sea Cottage interrupts Misty's date; she then returns to her Gym so you can challenge her.
- The Protein item ball needs Cut, and a Potion is hidden in a lone tree at the western end.
- Abra and Pidgeotto can be caught here, with Venomoth at night.
