Route 4 is a uniquely designed route that contains two sections split up by [[Mt. Moon]]. On the western portion of the route, there is the western entrance to Mt. Moon, as well as a [[Pokémon Center]].  Inside this Pokémon Center, there is a [[Magikarp salesman|shady man]] who sells the player a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{pdollar}}500.  He is only present in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{Gen|III}}.

The western portion of Route 4 begins by traveling north from the previous route; [[Route 3]] towards the mountain. There are several small ledges spanning from both sides of the route, however, there is enough clearing in the center to pass through. There are also several rocks along the sides that apparently can be mistaken for {{p|Geodude}} as a little explains as she trips on one. By traveling straight on, ahead will be a small [[Pokémon Center]], one of two Pokémon Center's that can be found on a route, the other being on [[Route 10]]. The western terminus to [[Mt. Moon]] can also be found by traveling west of the Pokémon Center, which has been indented into the mountain face.

In the Pokémon Center, Trainers can heal through Pokémon after a hard journey through Route 3, however, a number of other things can be done in the Pokémon Center. In Generation I and III, a shady man, which happens to be the [[Magikarp salesman]] can be found in the corner of the Center selling Trainers a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{PDollar}}500. He does not offer a refund. While this may seem something of a ripoff, some {{player}}s consider it very worthwhile to raise a Magikarp from such an early point in the game, allowing the player to train and evolve it into a {{p|Gyarados}} much earlier than if they had waited until they are given an {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}}. There is also a man reading a newspaper, reading that [[Team Rocket]] are attacking [[Cerulean City|Cerulean citizens]].
