For me, it actually depends on the place. I mean, if I wanted a blocker right in front of a building, I would use an NPC to turn you down or a note overworld. If it's in the terrain of a forest, I would use a certain tile (pointing the obvious, though, that tile should make the player notice that it WILL change).
Palettes = colours (a good example is the difference between normal and shiny Pokémon).
It's not really a 'plot'... But yes, a literal broken bridge can be more effective than HM-requiring obstacles, as long as you only use it once (maybe twice). Otherwise, it just seems forced.
Policeman "investigating a crime". See? That simple. :3H2O Turquoise said:

Well, currently in my hack, you're not allowed to access a certain town until you get the Pokedex, so I have two girls blocking the entrance to a guard house. If you try to talk to them, they won't look at you, but they'll appear to be arguing about teenage-drama-gossip.
Ingame, you're supposed to be a 10 year old kid. Were you THAT courageous real life at the age of ten, so that you could go past hostile adults in general, and criminals blocking your way?
There's nothing in the games that say that the main character is 10. Anime =/= Games. Just because the anime's main character is 10 doesn't mean that it's the same for the games.
You good a point there... =[
Well, same with me, I suppose. In my hack, there's a place at the beggining that you can't go just yet, because local special forces (Poke SWAT?) are blocking the way, along with a van (the location is the mayor's manor, btw), so even if you're like, 16 you aren't courageous enough :|
I would say that there is sense in saying that they're 10, since it's the average age of the people who start playing pokemon for the first time, and the appearance of the trainers is close to 10/12 years old.
