==Route description==

=====Southern segment=====

Heading north from the Pokémon League Front Gate, which houses the first Badge checkpoint, Route 23 heads northeast, passing through the first of many archways on the route as well as the second checkpoint. Northwest of this point is the second archway and the third checkpoint. The main path of the road then heads north, taking a slight northeast alignment as it approaches the third archway and the fourth checkpoint on the bank of a waterway that effectively separates the route into two halves.

=====Northern segment=====

==Differences among generations==

In the [[Generation II]] games and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Route 23 became unnecessary due to the addition of the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]] on {{rt|26|Kanto}}, being reduced to an extremely short path that takes 7{{sup/2|GSC}}/17{{sup/4|HGSS}} steps connecting the front door of [[Indigo Plateau]] with the northern entrance of Victory Road. The [[remake]]s reclassified Route 23 as part of Indigo Plateau, although there is still unused location data for Route 23.

==Trivia==

* In {{v2|Yellow}}, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, riding the [[Bicycle]] here will not change the background music. In FireRed and LeafGreen only, using {{m|Surf}} will not change the background music either.

* In the Japanese versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the unused data for Route 23 includes a scrapped map blurb consisting of generic development text, "Dummy Guide Message" (Japanese: ダミーのガイドメッセージ), which is also shared with the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]], [[Goldenrod Tunnel]], [[Dragon's Den]], [[Cliff Cave]], and a KGR Map (Japanese: ＫＧＲマップ).
