5th Gen Bridges

[Palamon]

In the Unova games only, there were bridges that were inbetween routes and towns. There are a total of five bridges in these games. The first bridge you will encounter in the original games is the Skyarrow Bride. It is the biggest bridge and it will take you from Pinwheel Forest to Castelia City. The second bridge you will encounter and cross is the Driftveil Drawbridge, and it connects Route 5 and obviously Driftveil City. The next bridge is between routes 8 and 9, and it is known as the Tubeline Bridge. Subways from the Battle Subway can constantly be seen underneath it. On Fridays, you can encounter a biker gang there known as the Black Empoleon that you can battle. The other two bridges you cannot cross until the postgame. These two bridges are the Village Bridge and the Marvelous Bridge.

However, in B2/W2, you cannot cross Skyarrow Bridge until the postgame, and Village Bridge can be crossed during the main story.

Which of these bridges was your favorite, and what was your opinion on the bridge system in the generation V games? I thought it was very cool and an accurate depiction of NYC. I don't know if they'll ever bring bridges back, besides the Nugget Bridge in Kanto, but I hope they do someday... I guess it just depends on what type of regions we end up getting...

Bridges were a great landmark! It makes routes and in between places feel more important!
