Pokémon world locations

ThePokémon League Reception Gate (Japanese:ポケモンリーグうけつけゲートPokémon League Reception Gate) is a largegate located inKanto to the west ofRoute 22. The building serves as aGym Badge checkpoint for bothKanto andJohtoTrainers in these games.

This gate is named thePokémon League Front Gate (Japanese:ポケモンリーグ正面ゲートPokémon League Front Gate) inGenerationsI,III, andVII, where it simply contains theBoulder Badge checkpoint and connectsRoutes22 and23.

Description

Generations I, III, and VII

The Pokémon League Front Gate serves as theBoulder Badge checkpoint due to theBadge checkpoints being individually distributed by eight guards throughoutRoute 23. It also works as a connector betweenRoutes22 and 23. Unlike itsGeneration II andIV incarnations, it is not a four-way intersection.

Generations II and IV

The Pokémon League Front Gate was rebuilt and renamed the Pokémon League Reception Gate. TheBadge checkpoints are consolidated into a single one inside of the gate, which now connects directly toVictory Road. This is whyRoute 23 is extremely short inGeneration II; inGeneration IV, it was completely removed as its fifteen tiles are now considered part ofIndigo Plateau itself.

Trainers enteringKanto fromJohto viaRoutes26 and27 are forced to enter this building from the south. Here, they are stopped by aPokémon League official and must present the eightJohto Gym Badges before they can advance. Past the guard is a four-way intersection of hallways; only the north hallway leading toVictory Road (and thereforeIndigo Plateau) is initially open. The east hallway, leading toViridian City viaRoute 22, is blocked by a guard untilSnorlax has been removed fromVermilion City; once the guard has stepped aside, the player can travel between Johto and mainland Kanto withoutFlying,Teleporting, taking theS.S. Aqua or theMagnet Train. The west hallway, leading toRoute 28 andMt. Silver, is opened byProfessor Oak once the player has collected all eightKanto Gym Badges.

InPokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver,Janine will appear here every evening between 16:00 and 20:00 after being defeated and will give the player herphone number so that she can be called for arematch.

Trivia

• The gate uses different music in every generation. TheGeneration I games andPokémon FireRed and LeafGreen useViridian Forest, theGeneration II games useThe Pokémon League,Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver useRoute 26, andPokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! useThe Final Road.
• The Pokémon League Reception Gate cannot be legitimately accessed without eight Badges, as theRising Badge is required to scale thewaterfall atTohjo Falls. However, if it is reached without all Badges viacheating inGeneration II, the guard will say "You don't have all theGym Badges ofJohto. I'm sorry, but I can't let you go through." and turn the player away. If this is done inGeneration IV, the guard will recognize that the player has the eight Badges of Johto and let them through, even if they do not actually have them.^[1]
