===Generation I and FireRed/LeafGreen===
The warp tile is first and predominately found in [[Silph Co.]]'s head office building in [[Saffron City]]. Inside there is a mass network of the tiles, which the player has to navigate through in order to complete the task. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, this task was made easier, as the floor number was displayed each time the player was transported. Warp tiles are also found in [[Saffron Gym]]. Warp tiles in Kanto are indicated by a diamond.

Unlike the preceding generation, warp tiles are rare in [[Generation II]].

For the type of special tile featured in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, see Dungeon tile.
Red stepping on a warp tile inside Silph Co. in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

A warp tile or teleport tile is a special tile featured in games since Generation I. Once stepped upon, the player is transported instantly to a connecting warp tile elsewhere. The connecting warp tile could be anywhere, generally within the building that the player is exploring.

In the games

Generation I and FireRed/LeafGreen

The warp tile is first and predominately found in Silph Co.'s head office building in Saffron City. Inside there is a mass network of the tiles, which the player has to navigate through in order to complete the task. In FireRed and LeafGreen, this task was made easier, as the floor number was displayed each time the player was transported. Warp tiles are also found in Saffron Gym. Warp tiles in Kanto are usually indicated by a diamond while in FireRed and LeafGreen, the ones in Saffron Gym are indicated by green squares.

Generation II

Unlike the preceding generation, warp tiles are rare in Generation II. In Johto, one can be found in Team Rocket HQ, which, unlike standard warp tiles, transports the player to a normal tile instead of another warp tile. In Johto, the regular variety is featured only in the Tin Tower, where they are used to navigate the upper floors of the building. Warp tiles can also be found in Saffron Gym in Kanto. Most warp tiles in the games are indicated by a diamond while the ones in Johto at the Tin Tower are indicated by pink squares with a white outline.

Generation III

In Hoenn, there are two styles of warp tiles. One style appears in the Team Aqua or Team Magma Hideout in Lilycove City, which serves the same role as warp tiles in previous generations. These warp tiles are indicated by a circle.

The other style appears in the Mossdeep Gym and a similarly-designed maze in the Trick House. In Ruby and Sapphire, these warp tiles only serve as a quick exit from the Gym from Tate and Liza's area, as well as a way to return to the start of the corresponding Trick House maze. They have an expanded role in Emerald, where these warp tiles are used to traverse Mossdeep Gym's maze similar to that in Saffron Gym, and again to traverse a similar maze in the Trick House. These warp tiles are indicated by an octagon.

Hoenn also introduced one-way warp tiles, where the tile on the other end of the warp is a warp tile but does nothing if stepped on. These one-way tiles appear only in the octagonal style.

Generation IV

In Sinnoh, warp tiles can be found in the Galactic Veilstone Building. Two-way warp tiles are yellow and only go between areas on the same floor, while one-way warp tiles are green and only go between areas on different floors. Warp tiles in the Sinnoh games are indicated by a circle. In Johto, warp tiles are used only once in Team Rocket HQ, and numerous times on the higher floors of the Bell Tower. In Kanto, they are found yet again at the Saffron Gym. Warp tiles in HeartGold and SoulSilver are indicated by green squares in the Saffron Gym or yellow ones at the Bell Tower. One-way warp titles also appear at the end of Hearthome Gym, Blackthorn Gym, and Saffron Gym as quick exits.

Generation V

In Unova, warp tiles are also rare. In Pokémon Black and White, they only appear in Big Stadium and Small Court and are colored blue. There's a one-way warp tile as well on DraydenB/IrisW's platform in the Opelucid Gym.

Regular warp tiles become more abundant in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, appearing on the Plasma Frigate. All warp tiles in Unova outside of Nimbasa City are indicated by green circles.
