'''Route 24''' (Japanese: '''２４{{tt|番道路|ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 24'') is a [[route]] located in northern [[Kanto]]. It connects [[Cerulean City]] in the south to {{rt|25|Kanto}} in the north. Most of the route encompasses the '''Nugget Bridge''' (Japanese: '''ゴールデンボールブリッジ''' ''Golden Ball Bridge''), a location where five {{pkmn|Trainer}}s will challenge the {{player}} one by one. Upon defeating every Trainer on the bridge, a disguised {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} will reward the player with a [[Nugget]].

The actual southern terminus of the [[route]] is at the southern extent of the bridge. Route 24 follows the length of the bridge north, running parallel to an express path to the east that originates on {{rt|25|Kanto}}, allowing {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to travel from [[Kanto Route 25|Cerulean Cape]] to [[Cerulean City]] (but not vice versa) quickly.

At the northern end of the bridge, the route opens up at a virtual three-way intersection. To the west is a long, narrow strip of land that contains Route 24's lone patch of grass containing a Trainer and [[wild Pokémon]]. This location also serves as the docking platform for a water body that leads to an otherwise inaccessible portion of {{rt|4|Kanto}},{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}} as well as [[Cerulean Cave]]{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}{{sup/7|PE}} or the site of the [[Berserk Gene]] northwest of Cerulean.{{sup/2}} The water body can be crossed with {{m|Surf}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/2}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} or the [[Secret Technique]] Sea Skim.{{sup/7|PE}}

To the north of the bridge is a small plateau containing a variety of [[item]]s and people, with the actual contents varying not only by [[Generation]], but also by [[Pokémon games|game]] version. In [[Generation I]], {{TM|45|Thunder Wave}} is found here. In [[Generation II]], no items are present; however, a tree containing a hidden item is present. In [[Generation III]], {{TM|45|Attract}} is found here. In [[Generation VII]], three [[Razz Berry|Razz Berries]] are found here. Additionally, in {{game|Yellow}} and Generation VII, [[Damian|a non-battling Trainer]] is found here, offering his {{p|Charmander}} to any Trainer that will provide better care for him.

In Generations I, {{gen|III}}, and VII, the corner connecting Routes 24 and 25 is considered a part of Route 24. In Generations II and {{gen|IV}}, it is included with Route 25.

==Differences among generations==

[[File:Kanto Route 24 HGSS.png|thumb|250px|Route 24 in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]

In [[Generation II]], the Nugget Bridge {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are no longer present. Instead, the challenge has moved to Route 25. Also, the grassy area along the narrow strip of land has been reduced by half, allowing the lower portion to become a grass-free docking station. The route also ends immediately after leaving the Nugget Bridge.

==In the anime==

===Main series===

''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'' is mentioned to take place at Route 24. However, it is stated that Routes 24 and {{rtn|25|Kanto}} lead to [[Vermilion City]], instead of {{rt|6|Kanto}}.

===Pokémon Evolutions===

==In the manga==

===Pokémon Adventures===

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====

Route 24 debuted in ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]'', where it was revealed that {{adv|Red}} had caught a {{p|Bellsprout}}. Red also tried to capture a peculiar-looking {{p|Rattata}}, which turned out to actually be {{adv|Bill}}, who had accidentally fused himself with a Rattata while fixing his Pokémon Transport System.

{{-}}

==Trivia==

* In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} on the Nugget Bridge says "I'll make you an offer you can't refuse" before challenging the player. This is a [[List of references to popular culture in Pokémon|reference]] to the 1972 crime film ''{{wp|The Godfather}}''.

* In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], the player can challenge a group of Trainers at [[Malie Garden]], with them copying the Generation I Nugget Bridge right down to using the same Pokémon teams and dialogue as the Nugget Bridge Trainers from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, despite many of them not being native to [[Alola]]. The reward for defeating the Trainers there is a [[Big Nugget]].
