'''Route 24''' (Japanese: '''２４{{tt|番道路|ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 24'') is a route in northern [[Kanto]], connecting [[Cerulean City]] and {{rt|25|Kanto}}. Most of Route 24 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 and, upon defeating every Trainer on the bridge, a disguised {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} will reward the player with a [[Nugget]].

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}}, as well as [[Cerulean Cave]] northwest of Cerulean.

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. Additionally, in {{game|Yellow}}, [[Damian|a non-battling Trainer]] is found here, offering his {{p|Charmander}} to any Trainer that will provide better care for him. In [[Generation II]], no items are present; however, a tree containing a hidden item is present. Finally, in [[Generation III]], {{TM|45|Attract}} is found here.

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

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

[[File:Kanto Routes 24-25 Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Route 24 in Pokémon Adventures]]

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

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.

* The "I'll make you an offer you can't refuse" line said by the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} at the end of the Nugget Bridge may be a reference to a line from ''{{wp|The Godfather}}''.

*This [[route]] and {{rt|25|Kanto}} are the two northernmost places in [[Kanto]] in Generations I, III, and VII. In Generations II and IV, the northernmost part of this route is considered part of Route 25.

* The Nugget Bridge in this route is known in Generation III for the ability to obtain infinite [[Nugget]]s. If the player loses to the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}, they will be back at the [[Pokémon Center]], with the Nugget they obtained from the Rocket grunt. However, this does not work in Generation I because the player is only given one chance to fight this Grunt. Nonetheless, this creates a mistake in Generation I: if the player loses to the Grunt, and then returns to speak with him, the Grunt speaks as if the player won.
