Gold & Silver Route 44
Quiet anglers work the final approach to Blackthorn, hauling Remoraid from the ponds tucked among the whirlpools.
Route 44 is in Johto, with Mahogany Town to the west. In the story it comes after Tin Tower and continues north to Ice Path.

Pokemon Encounters
Lickitung and Tangela make the grass before Blackthorn worth a slow sweep, both uncommon catches with real staying power. Remoraid bites on the Super Rod, and a headbutt on the right tree can turn up Heracross.

Route 44 Guide
Yes, and it's new to the series. Gold and Silver run on a real clock split into morning, day, and night, and the grass swaps species along with it. Hoothoot only turns up after dark, for instance, where the daytime route hands you Pidgey. If something won't appear, come back at a different hour.
Material for custom Poke Balls. Routes 37 and 42 and Azalea Town have trees that each drop one Apricorn a day, and Kurt in Azalea turns a color into a matching ball by the next morning. A white one becomes a Fast Ball for skittish Pokemon, a black one a Heavy Ball for heavy catches like Snorlax.
