In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Route 4 is split into two sections by [[Mt. Moon]]. On the western portion, there is the entrance to Mt. Moon, as well as a [[Pokémon Center]]. Inside this Pokémon Center, there is a [[Magikarp salesman|shady man]] who sells the {{player}} a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{pdollar}}500. He is only present in Generations I, III, and VII.

The western portion of Route 4 begins by traveling north from the previous route; {{rt|3|Kanto}} towards the mountain. There are several small ledges spanning from both sides of the route; however, there is enough clearing in the center to pass through. There are also several rocks along the sides that apparently can be mistaken for {{p|Geodude}} as a little girl explains as she trips on one. By traveling straight on, ahead will be a small [[Pokémon Center]], one of two Pokémon Center's that can be found on a route, the other being on {{rt|10|Kanto}}. The western terminus to [[Mt. Moon]] can also be found by traveling west of the Pokémon Center, which has been indented into the mountain face.

In the Pokémon Center, Trainers can heal their Pokémon after a hard journey through Route 3; however, a number of other things can be done in the Pokémon Center. In Generation I, III, and VII, a shady man, which happens to be the [[Magikarp salesman]], can be found in the corner of the Center selling Trainers a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{PDollar}}500 (but does not offer a refund). While this may seem as something of a ripoff, some players consider it very worthwhile to raise a Magikarp from such an early point in the game, allowing the player to train and evolve it into a {{p|Gyarados}} much earlier than if they had waited until they are given an [[Old Rod]]. There is also a man reading a newspaper, reading that [[Team Rocket]] are attacking {{ci|Cerulean}} citizens.

Route 4 can, in fact, be reached from Cerulean City, by using {{m|Surf}}, Trainers can Surf along to western part of Route 24, south to [[Cerulean Cave]]. Trainers can then travel west, past a {{tc|Lass}} on the highest hill, and then jump down the remaining ledges to access this section of the route.

Due to a ledge that separates Mt. Moon from [[Cerulean City]], Trainers cannot return to the previous towns until they travel through [[Diglett's Cave]] and use {{m|Cut}} on {{rt|2|Kanto}}, use {{m|Fly}} to return to the cities west of Mt. Moon, or use {{m|Surf}} down from {{rt|24|Kanto}} (in Generations I and III only) or all the way around through [[Cinnabar Island]]. The majority of the [[route]] is fairly straight-forward as there is only one true way to proceed on the path and there are no {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to battle (with the exception of the {{tc|Lass}} on the highest hill on the route; however, she is reached only by way of the waterway that begins on {{rt|24|Kanto}}).  

Depending on the [[Generation]], there are [[item]]s, [[Move Tutor]]s, or both along this path. In Generation III, two Move Tutors were added to the route. Located near the Mt. Moon entrance, these tutors will teach a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} the [[move]]s {{m|Mega Punch}} and {{m|Mega Kick}}, but only once. Both tutors are jealous of the other's skills and will try to get Trainers to come to them instead of the other.
