The Reception Gate replaced {{rt|23|Kanto}} in many ways in Generation II and IV.


In Generations I and III, Route 22 led to Route 23 through Pokemon League HQ Front Gate and the badge checkpoints were scattered throughout Route 23(except the Boulder Badge checkpoint, which is in Pokemon League HQ Front Gate), checking for one badge at a time.

This changed in Generation II and IV as the badge checkpoints were consolidated into a single checkpoint in the Route 26 hallway. This may explain why Route 23 disappeared in Generation IV or shrinked into an extremely short road in Generation II.

This may explain why Route 23 shrunk into an extremely short road in Generation II, which was then simply renamed [[Indigo Plateau]] in Generation IV causing Route 23 to no longer exist.
 
==Trivia==
* This is the only four-way intersection in the [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]] that is not located in a populated area.
