Gate: Difference between revisions

Certain gates contain a second floor that features a spot where binoculars can be used to see faraway landmarks, or even certain Pokémon. In some of these, the {{player}} will usually encounter one of [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professors' aides|aides]]. He will check the [[Pokédex]] and will reward the player if he or she has caught a given number.

There are also certain gates the player is forbidden to enter until the Officer, who claims to be thirsty, is given a [[drink]] that can be bought at the [[Celadon Department Store]]. These gates are those found on {{rt|5|Kanto|Routes 5}}, {{rt|6|Kanto|6}}, {{rt|7|Kanto|7}} and {{rt|8|Kanto|8}} and all lead to [[Saffron City]].

At the gate leading to {{rt|35|Johto}}, to the north of [[Goldenrod City]], is {{Jo|Webster|Randy}}, a [[non-player character]], who will give a {{p|Spearow}} to the player that holds [[Mail]] to be delivered to his friend on {{rt|31|Johto}}.

Gates are sparse in the [[Hoenn]]-based [[Generation III]] games. There are only two gates, each connected to the [[Seaside Cycling Road]]. {{Player|Player}}s may not ride [[bicycle]]s as they travel away from the Cycling Road, but are forced upon their bicycle if traveling toward it. If the bicycle has not been obtained, they may not enter.

In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, gates serve the same purpose as in [[Generation I]]. The only significant change is that since players can now trade [[held item|items attached to a Pokémon]], the [[key item]] {{DL|Drink|Tea}} was introduced to prevent the player from advancing through the gates surrounding [[Saffron City]] prematurely. This key item serves the same purpose as the [[drink]] from the original games. Gates exist also in the [[Sevii Islands]], giving access from the port to each town.

There are gates on several routes in [[Unova]], each with a receptionist assigned to the gate. Unlike in previous games, each gate has an electric bulletin board and a screen on one of its walls. The bulletin board displays the current date, the weather in a few adjacent routes and towns (including what location a {{p|Tornadus|windstorm}} or {{p|Thundurus|thunderstorm}} is brewing at), information about a nearby town or city, and information about where {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming]] (once the {{player}} has obtained the [[National Pokédex]]). The screen shows images from the connected location. Also in these gates are a trash can and two chairs for a quick rest.
