(Where in hell did the name "Pokémon League HQ Front Gate" come from? And what's the deal with almost completely ignoring the gate's existence in Generation I?) |

The building serves as the [[Badge|Gym Badge]] checkpoint for both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] {{pkmn|Trainer|Trainer}}s in these games. | ||

==Description== | ==Description== | ||
[[ | {{pkmn|Trainer|Trainer}}s entering [[Kanto]] from [[Johto]] via {{rt|26|Kanto|Routes 26}} and {{rt|27|Kanto|27}} are forced to enter this building from the south. Here, they are stopped by a [[Pokémon League]] official and must present the eight [[Badge#Johto League|Johto Gym Badge]]s before they can advance. Ahead of the guardpost is a four-way intersection of hallways; however, only the north hallway leading to {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Indigo Plateau]] is initially open. The east hallway, leading to {{rt|22|Kanto}} and [[Viridian City]], opens up once the Pokémon League Reception Gate is entered from the Route 22 side. When the gate is opened from the {{rt|22|Kanto}} side, the {{player}} can travel between Johto and Kanto on foot, without taking the [[S.S. Aqua]] or the [[Magnet Train]]. The west hallway, leading to {{rt|28|Kanto}} and [[Mt. Silver]], is opened by [[Professor Oak]] once {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}{{sup/2|C}} or {{ga|Lyra}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} collect all eight [[Badge#Indigo League|Kanto Gym Badge]]s. | ||

In Generation | In [[Generation I]] and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the Pokémon League Front Gate serves as the {{badge|Boulder}} checkpoint and the connector between Routes 22 and 23. It is not a four-way intersection, unlike its [[Generation II]] and HeartGold and SoulSilver incarnations. | ||
==Significance== | ==Significance== | ||
The Reception Gate replaced {{rt|23|Kanto}} in many ways in Generation II and | The Pokémon League Reception Gate replaced {{rt|23|Kanto}} in many ways in [[Generation II]] and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. | ||
In | In [[Generation I]] and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, {{rt|22|Kanto}} led to Route 23 to the north through the Pokémon League Front Gate and the [[Badge|Gym Badge]] checkpoints were scattered throughout Route 23, with the exception of the {{badge|Boulder}} checkpoint, which is located in the Pokémon League Front Gate. The guards analyzed the {{player}} to check how many Gym Badges he/she had got, and if the player had the required Gym Badge in his/her possession, he would be allowed to go through until the next checkpoint, until all checkpoints are cleared. | ||
This changed in Generation II and | This changed in Generation II and HeartGold and SoulSilver as the Gym Badge checkpoints were consolidated into a single checkpoint located inside the Pokémon League Reception Gate, at the hallway straight from {{rt|26|Kanto}}. This may explain why Route 23 shrunk into an extremely short road in Generation II, which then became part of [[Indigo Plateau]] itself in HeartGold and SoulSilver, causing Route 23 to no longer exist (although unused data for it still exists in the programming code). | ||
