Heading north from the Pokémon League Front Gate, which houses the first Badge checkpoint, Route 23 heads northeast, passing through the first of many archways on the route as well as the second checkpoint. Northwest of this point is the second archway and the third checkpoint. The main path of the road then heads north, taking a slight northeast alignment as it approaches the third archway and the fourth checkpoint on the bank of a waterway that effectively separates the route into two halves. | Heading north from the Pokémon League Front Gate, which houses the first Badge checkpoint, Route 23 heads northeast, passing through the first of many archways on the route as well as the second checkpoint.

Route 23 turns to the northwest, passing the final patch of grass on the road before returning to a north-south alignment several paces south of the final checkpoint. Just north of the checkpoint is the south entrance to Victory Road. | Route 23 turns to the northwest, passing the final patch of grass on the road before returning to a north-south alignment several paces south of the final checkpoint.

The route heads north from Victory Road's northern portal, arriving at a series of stones intended to create a maze. On the other side of the maze, Route 23 ascends a series of stairs before arriving at the front door to Indigo Plateau. | The route heads north from Victory Road's northern portal, arriving at a series of stones intended to create a maze.

In the [[Generation II]] games and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Route 23 became unnecessary due to the addition of the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]] on {{rt|26|Kanto}}, being reduced to an extremely short path that takes 7 steps connecting the front door of [[Indigo Plateau]] with the northern entrance of Victory Road. The [[remake]]s accurately reclassified Route 23 as part of Indigo Plateau, although there is still unused location data for Route 23. | |||

[[ | * Because the tilesets were not changed between versions of the [[Generation I]] games, the signpost outside the southern entrance to {{ka|Victory Road}} kept its design from {{2v2|Red|Green}} in {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}} and {{v2|Yellow}}, as well as in every localized release of the Generation I games. | ||
* In {{ | * In {{v2|Yellow}}, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, riding the [[Bicycle]] here will not change the background music. In FireRed and LeafGreen only, using {{m|Surf}} will not change the background music either. | ||
* In the Japanese versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the unused data for Route 23 includes a scrapped map blurb consisting of generic development text, "Dummy Guide Message" (Japanese: ダミーのガイドメッセージ), which is also shared with the [[Rocket Hideout]], [[Goldenrod Tunnel]], [[Dragon's Den]], [[Cliff Cave]], and a KGR Map (Japanese: ＫＧＲマップ). | |||
