Locations in the core series games should follow the following structure. Locations in spin-off games and those exclusive to the anime should follow the structure established on other locations from the same game or from the anime, respectively.
Infobox information
Articles should use {{Infobox location}}, and all known information should be supplied.
This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete routebox on the article page, just place this before any other text and fill in the variables.
{{Infobox location
|image=
|type=
|location_name=
|japanese_name=
|translated_name=
|mapdesc=

|region=

For the above parameters, here's what you should fill in:
- image: name of an image for the location on Bulbagarden Archives
- type: is the type of place the location is located on, or what it is - land, road, water, or cave. This determines how the infobox is colored. (If omitted, color is white.)
- location_name: name of the location
- japanese_name: Japanese name of the location
- translated_name: romanization of the location's Japanese name
- other_info: (optional) use for alternate names, an additional descriptor, etc.
- mapdesc: description on the map
- location: a brief description of where the article location is found
- region: the region that the location is in
- generation: a list of all generations of games this location has appeared in. A handy template shortcut is
{{gen|<generation>}}. For example, {{gen|III}} will display III.
By completing the infobox as follows, you'll get a routebox like the one to the right.

Main section
Untitled section that describes the location. Depending on the location, this section may just describe where it is located in the Pokémon world and basic details regarding the area, or may go into considerable detail. Regardless, all text describing the location should be in this section.
Geography
A geographical description of the location, including similarities to places in reality. This is to include all parts of the location.
Items
A list of items found in this location as well as a description of where the items are. These are to be placed in dot points with a short description on how to find it.
Pokémon
A list of Pokémon that appear in this location as well as encounter rates and times of encounter if possible. Lists should be separated by Generation using third-level headlines. If the route appeared in only one Generation, then the Generation heading is not necessary. See Route 1 and Route 132 for examples of tables.
Lists should be organized in order of location, then highest to lowest encounter rate. If the encounter rate for a Pokémon is lower in a different game, a repeat of the entry should be made directly underneath except with that particular game highlighted (instead of in the initial entry), and the different encounter rate stated. In the case of multiple Pokémon with the same encounter rate, Pokémon should be listed in order of games they are available in, then their National Pokédex number.
Trainers
A list of trainers, using the appropriate template. They should be separated by Generation using third-level headlines. If the route appeared in only one Generation, then the Generation heading is not necessary.
Layout
If the location has been featured in multiple games or has multiple areas, maps of each of the areas in each game should be placed here in a table.
Differences between generations
If the location was featured in multiple versions and generations of Pokémon, the differences between those should be discussed here. A gallery of different generations can be placed in the Layout section to show the differences.
In the anime
An image of the location and a brief description of any events that occurred here.
In the manga
An image of the location and a brief description of any events that occurred here.
Trivia
Any notable, trivial information about the location.
