A signpost is a small sign on a route or within a city that tells a player certain pieces of information. Most of them are well-maintained, however, there are a few that end up worn away, making the text on them hard to read.

Most often, these objects tell players where they are located, at least in Generation I. Since Pokémon Crystal, there is a small text box which pops up every time players enter another location, so most of the location-describing signposts are merely residual.

Sometimes, there will be Trainer Tips written on the signpost, designed to give a hint to players who are unsure of what to do.
