Pokémon world routes

Route 24 is a north-south route north of Cerulean City, linking the burg with Route 25 to the north. Most of Route 24 encompasses the Nugget Bridge (Japanese: ゴールデンボールブリッジ Golden Ball Bridge), a location where five Trainers will challenge the player one by one and, upon defeating every trainer on the bridge, a disguised Rocket grunt will reward the player with a Nugget and then offer the player a position in Team Rocket; however, the player automatically refuses and fights the grunt.

Route description

The actual southern terminus of the route is at the southern extent of the bridge. Route 24 follows the length of the bridge north, running parallel to an express path to the east that originates on Route 25, allowing trainers to travel from Cerulean Cape to Cerulean City (but not vice versa) quickly.

At the northern end of the bridge, the route opens up at a virtual three-way intersection. To the west is a long, narrow strip of land that contains Route 24's lone patch of grass containing a trainer and wild Pokémon. This location also serves as the docking platform for a water body that leads to an otherwise unaccessible portion of Route 4, as well as Cerulean Cave northwest of Cerulean.

To the north of the bridge is a small plateau containing a variety of items and people, with the actual contents varying not only by Generation, but also by game version. In Generation I, TM45, containing Thunder Wave, is found here. Additionally, in Pokémon Yellow, a non-battling trainer is found here, offering his Charmander to any trainer that will provide better care for him. In Generation II, no items are present; however, a tree containing a hidden item is present. Finally, in Generation III, TM45, now holding Attract, is found here.

Southeast of the plateau, Route 24 turns to the east and becomes Route 25.

Differences among generations

In Generation II, the Nugget Bridge trainers are no longer present. Instead, the challenge has moved to Route 25. Also, the grassy area along the narrow strip of land has been reduced by half, allowing the lower portion to become a grass-free docking station. The route also ends immediately after leaving the Nugget Bridge.

In Generation IV, Route 24 is nearly identical in structure to Generation III with the exception of a few minor changes. The trainers on the Nugget Bridge are no longer present and have moved their challenge to Route 25 and the territory that Route 24 occupies is the same as Generation II. Another change is that the bridge is above the water, instead of being over land like in previous generations. There is also a tiny strip of land in front of a fence that goes along the path to the right of the bridge.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Route 24 debuted in ...But Fearow Itself in the Red, Green & Blue arc where it is revealed that Red had caught a Bellsprout. Red tried to capture a peculiar looking Ratatta which turned out to actually be Bill. It also has a forest and mountains.

Trivia

• This route and Route 25 are the two northernmost places in Kanto.
• The Nugget Bridge in this route is most known for in Generations I and III for the ability to obtain infinite Nuggets. If the player loses to the Rocket grunt, they will be back at the Pokémon Center, with the Nugget they obtained from the Rocket grunt.
• Four of the trainers on Nugget Bridge all say "I did my best, I have no regrets." after the player defeats them. The second lass on the bridge however, says "I did my best, so I've no regrets." instead.
