The gates also have a practical use within the games' programming. As a {{player}} moves from a [[route]] to a town or city, the map's textures (tilesets in the first three [[generation]]s) must be loaded for each. While this is easy when a city connects to relatively few routes, where all can use the same tileset/texture, areas like [[Saffron City]] and [[Hearthome City]], which connect to many different areas, would need to load multiple tilesets/textures, which would end up crashing the game due to the system not having enough RAM to hold multiple tilesets/textures. The programmers broke up the overworld with these gates to assure crash-free gameplay, and to properly display the routes, towns and cities. | The gates also have a practical use within the games' programming.

By doing this, the map textures may fail to load properly and many of them may appear as blank white tiles. Some buildings may appear to be invisible as well. The cheat can also be used in the [[Generation V]] games; however, the texture problem is very limited, if not completely absent. | ||

Revision as of 21:29, 19 April 2017
Gates (Japanese: ゲート gate) are prominent features of routes in the Pokémon world. They are located at junctions between different routes, or placed between a route and a city.
In the games
Generation I
In Generation I, gates serve to separate two areas and to guard the corresponding route, which is why a gatekeeper usually resides inside. Upon speaking to the gatekeeper, they may offer words of advice or information about the route or city that the gate guards.
Gates usually share the background music with one of the two or more areas that they connect and this remained a consistent element of gates up to Generation V, where gates finally received their own background music. Gates aren't locations on their own either, which is another element that was changed in Generation V, where gates are now locations by themselves.
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 aides. He will check the Pokédex and will reward the player if he or she has caught a given number.
Seven gates block the player from passing them until they meet certain requirements:
- give a Fresh WaterRGBRBY, Soda PopRGBRBY, LemonadeRGBRBY, purchasable at the Celadon Department Store to the thirsty gatekeeper at the gates on Routes 5, 6, 7 and 8, all of which lead to Saffron City;
- obtain the Bicycle so that the gatekeeper at the gates on Routes 16 and 18 allows the player to go through and enter Cycling Road;
- obtain all 8 Gym Badges and show each one to the 8 gatekeepers at the Pokémon League Front Gate on Route 22 and at Route 23 to grant access to Victory Road and Indigo Plateau.
Riding the Bicycle inside the gates is not possible in Generation I.

Generation II
Much like Generation I, gates serve to separate two areas. Unlike other buildings, the player can often ride their Bicycle through these buildings to guarantee fast transportation. None of the gates have second floors, including those in Kanto that had them in Generation I.
At the gate leading to Route 35, to the north of Goldenrod City, is gatekeeper Randy, a non-player character, who will give a Spearow to the player that holds Mail to be delivered to his friend on Route 31.
Four gates forbid the player to enter until he/she meets certain requirements:
- in Ecruteak City, the player must have the Rainbow WingGSHGSS and the Clear BellCHG or Tidal BellSS to pass the gate that leads to Bellchime Trail (a location in northeast Ecruteak that is unnamed and considered part of Ecruteak City's main area in Generation II), the small area outside Bell Tower;
- $1,000 must be paid (if the player has at least that amount of money) to either Team Rocket Grunt at the gate on Route 43 next to the southernmost gate that connects to Mahogany Town but only before defeating Team Rocket at Team Rocket HQ (called Rocket Hideout in Generation II);
- the Bicycle is required so that the gatekeeper at the gates on Routes 16 and 18 allows the player to go through and enter Cycling Road;

Generation III
Gates are sparse in the Hoenn-based Generation III games. There are only two gates, each connected to the Seaside Cycling Road. Players must be on their Acro Bike or Mach Bike in order to pass through a gate towards the Seaside Cycling Road.
In FireRed and LeafGreen, which are set in Kanto, gates serve the same purpose as in Generation I. The only significant change is that since players can now trade items attached to a Pokémon, the Key Item 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 also exist in the Sevii Islands, giving access from the port to each town; however, they are not used to connect areas, being instead both the entrance and exit points for the Seagallop Ferries.
The only common gates to both Hoenn and Kanto are the ones at Navel Rock and Birth Island.

Generation IV
Much like in past generations, the gates in Generation IV serve to separate two areas. In Diamond and Pearl, the player cannot ride their Bicycle through these buildings, but this limitation was lifted in Platinum and HeartGold and SoulSilver. Female gatekeepers were introduced in this generation.
In the Sinnoh-based games, most gates don't have gatekeepers to watch over the route, but other travelers can be found inside, as well as a map showing the player's current location.
Four gates have restrictions, however:
- two of them are the gates at Route 206 as they are the entrance and/or exit for Cycling Road;
- one is at Hearthome City, which connects to Route 209 and requires the player to have met FantinaDP or to have defeated herPt;
- one gate connecting to Route 212 is blocked by a reporter and a cameraman for shooting, which can't be passed until Veilstone Gym is defeated.
- and the other one is at Fight Area, requiring the player to have the National Pokédex.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, set in Johto and in Kanto, the gates are similar to those in Generation II and the gatekeepers in charge of guarding them are reinstated. Like in Generation II, there are no gates with second floors, taking into account those in Kanto that had them in FireRed and LeafGreen.

Generation V
There are gates on several routes in Unova, each with a gatekeeper. Gates now have ゲート Gate as background music, and each gate has a specific name (e.g.: Opelucid Gate). These names appear in-game when saving inside a gate and/or on the summary page of a Pokémon hatched inside a gate. Due to this, gates are now locations by themselves.
Another new feature of gates in Generation V is the introduction of an electronic bulletin board and a screen on one of the walls. The electronic bulletin board displays the current date, the weather in a few adjacent routes and towns (including what location a windstorm or thunderstorm is brewing at), information about a nearby town or city, and information about where Pokémon are 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.
There are also some gates that only connect bridges and that have unique designs, though these gates don't have electronic bulletin boards and monitors.
Two gates in Black and White impose certain requirements from the player to allow him/her to pass:
- in Accumula Town, Accumula Gate is blocked by two Team Plasma Grunts until Ghetsis talks to the citizens and the player battles N;
- Bianca will not let the player pass the Nimbasa Gate on Route 5 before she shows him/her the Musical Theater in Nimbasa City.
In Black 2 and White 2, two other gates instead have restrictions for the player and are the Bridge Gates at Marine Tube.
Six gates initially inaccessible by the player are shared between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2:
- both Black GatesBB2 or White GatesWW2 on Routes 14 and 15 by some men;
- the Bridge Gates to Tubeline Bridge on Routes 8 and 9.

Practical use
The gates also have a practical use within the games' programming. As a player moves from a route to a town or city, the map's textures (tilesets in the first three generations) must be loaded for each. While this is easy when a city connects to relatively few routes, where all can use the same tileset/texture, areas like Saffron City and Hearthome City, which connect to many different areas, would need to load multiple tilesets/textures, which would end up crashing the game due to the system not having enough RAM to hold multiple tilesets/textures. The programmers broke up the overworld with these gates to assure crash-free gameplay, and to properly display the routes, towns and cities.
In the Generation IV games, a player can use a "walk through walls" cheat to go from location to location without going through the gates. By doing this, the map textures may fail to load properly and many of them may appear as blank white tiles. Some buildings may appear to be invisible as well. The cheat can also be used in the Generation V games; however, the texture problem is very limited, if not completely absent.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In Kalling Kadabra, both Green and Blue tried to get to Saffron City through each of its four gates, but the guards refused to let them in. In The Winged Legends, while the three Pokédex holders were battling Team Rocket at the Silph Co., Brock, Misty, Erika, and Erika's subordinates captured all the members of Team Rocket who were trying to escape the city through its four gates.
In Halting Honchkrow, Pearl, on his way to Veilstone City to save Azelf from the Team Galactic HQ, faced a heavily guarded gate leading from Route 214 to Veilstone City. Thankfully, with the help of the Unown he and Pearl had befriended earlier at the Solaceon Ruins, Diamond was able to break through the masses of Galactic Grunts blocking the gate and enter the city.
In Sandstorm, Black and White were seen trying to go through the Castelia Gate to Route 4, but were temporarily forced back by the intense sandstorm on the other side.
The Route 4 Lumiose Gate appeared in What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes?, where X, Y, Trevor, Shauna, and Tierno entered Lumiose City through it. In Charging After Electrike, the group exited Lumiose City through the Route 5 Lumiose Gate.
Trivia
- Due to their design, the gates in the Sevii Islands are the only ones that have their supporting pillars built on water.
- They are also the only gates that have a single access point, given that they are the gates of the islands' ports, with one common entrance and exit for the Seagallop Ferries. These gates are all headed north as well.
