The Pokémon League Reception Gate (Japanese: ポケモンリーグうけつゲート Pokémon League Reception Gate) is a large gate in Generation II and IV located in Kanto to the west of Viridian City. The building serves as the badge checkpoint for both Kanto and Johto Trainers during Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver.
This gate is named the Pokémon League HQ Front Gate in Generation III, where it simply contains the Boulder Badge checkpoint and connects Routes 22 and 23.
Description
Trainers entering Kanto from Johto via Route 26 and Route 27 are forced to enter this building from the south. Here, they are stopped by a Pokémon League official and must present the eight Johto badges before they can advance. Ahead of the guard post is a four-way intersection of hallways; however, only the north hallway leading to Victory Road and the Indigo Plateau is open initially. The east hallway, leading to Route 22 and Viridian City, opens up once the Gate is entered from the Route 22 side. When the gate is opened from the Route 22 side, the player can travel between Johto and Kanto on foot, without taking the S.S. Aqua or the Magnet Train. While the west hallway, leading to Route 28 and Mt. Silver, is opened by Professor Oak once Ethan, Kris or Lyra collects all eight Kanto badges.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Janine will appear here every evening between 4 and 6 PM after being defeated and will give Ethan or Lyra her phone number in order to call her for a rematch.
In Generation III, the Pokemon League HQ Front Gate serves as Boulder Badge checkpoint and the connector between Route 22 and 23. It is not a 4-way intersection.
Significance
The Reception Gate replaced Route 23 in many ways in Generation II and IV.
In Generations I and III, Route 22 led to Route 23 through the Pokemon League HQ Front Gate and the badge checkpoints were scattered throughout Route 23 (except the Boulder Badge checkpoint, which is in the 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 shrunk into an extremely short road in Generation II and became a part of 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.
