Red & Blue Route 24
Home to the Nugget Bridge just north of Cerulean City, a five-Trainer gauntlet that ends with a Team Rocket recruiter's pitch.
Route 24 is in Kanto. In the story you arrive from Cerulean City to the south and continue east to Route 25.

Route 24 Guide
Yes. Each version locks away a handful of route species. Ekans, Oddish, Mankey, and Growlithe stay in Red, while Sandshrew, Bellsprout, Meowth, and Vulpix belong to Blue, with Scyther and Pinsir split the same way. Trading with the other version is the only way to fill those gaps.
Three rods, three givers. A fisherman in Vermilion City hands over the Old Rod, which only ever hooks Magikarp. The Good Rod comes from a fishing fan in Fuchsia City and adds Poliwag, Goldeen, and other common catches. The Super Rod, waiting on Route 12, reaches the rod-only rarities listed here.
