'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Kanto]] area that links [[Route 22]], [[Route 26]], [[Route 28]] and [[Victory Road Kanto]] together. Although the location itself has nothing in particular, it is a building that the player will always cross to reach end-region areas. Most notably, it provides the sense of accomplishment with the multiple paths that unlock as the player completes the Kanto and Johto Elite 4s.

==Notable miscellanies==
===Trainer Red===
Upon arriving for the first time at the Pokémon League Reception Gate, Red will be blocking the way to [[Victory Road Kanto]] and will challenge the player with a seemingly undefeatable team. Even with a full level 100 team, Red will prove to be difficult to defeat. No reward is to be obtained from a victory except a rare dialogue confirming the player is ready for the Elite 4.

===Route to Johto===
After Kanto's Elite 4 has been completed, the guards blocking the way to [[Route 26]] will leave. This is the route that leads to [[Johto]], and upon arriving in [[New Bark Town]], the town the route leads to, the player will be locked from all his Pokemons and will not be able to return to [[Kanto]] until the obtention of the 8th Johto badge. As such, it is necessary to make sure all preparations are complete before moving onto this route.

===Route to Mt. Silver===
After Johto's Elite 4 has been completed, the guards blocking the way to [[Route 26]] will leave. This is the route that leads to [[Mt. Silver]], the area considered end-game content for the [[Johto]] region.
