In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, the path is the only way to travel between [[Cerulean City]] and [[Vermilion City]] until the [[gate]]s surrounding Saffron City are opened, which does not occur until their guards receive a [[drink]] from [[Celadon City]]. In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, both entrances to the path are blocked until the problem at the {{FB|Kanto|Power Plant}} is solved.

The path is a long, dark hallway that travels under [[Saffron City]]. Despite the cave-like lighting of the path, there is no threat to be attacked by [[wild Pokémon]]. Occasionally, by using an [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]] or [[Dowsing Machine|Dowsing MCHN]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}, [[item]]s that {{pkmn|Trainer}}s have dropped along the path can be found and retrieved.

 

In Generations I and III, a girl in the Route 5 [[gate]] is willing to [[trade]] Pokémon with the player. In {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed}}, she asks for a {{p|Nidoran♂}} in exchange for a {{p|Nidoran♀}}; in {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red, Green}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}}, she requests a {{p|Nidoran♀}} in exchange for a {{p|Nidoran♂}}; in {{game|Yellow}}, she offers a {{p|Machoke}} (which will immediately evolve into {{p|Machamp}} after being traded) in exchange for a {{p|Cubone}}; and in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue}}, she wants to trade her {{p|Poliwag}} for a {{p|Rattata}}.

Across all generations, the design is virtually the same, only with updated graphics, although it is much shorter in [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. In Generation IV, a man is in the Underground Path who will trade {{TM|64|Explosion}} for the [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBar]] that can be bought in [[Mahogany Town]].

 

 

Although the Underground Path doesn't make an actual appearance in [[Pokémon Adventures]], the map of {{adv|Red}}'s journey in {{FB|Pokémon Adventures|volume 1}} shows that he used it as a shortcut to Vermilion City between ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]'' and ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]''.
