This is a screenshot from Pokemon Red version.

Number 1 looks like a tree (I originally thought it was a rock until recently). What is number 2 though?

1 is a shrub. An impassible shrub that is used as a barrier for forests as opposed to those weird circle blocks on the right (2) which are used for cities/built up areas. I don't really think 2 is based on anything in real life, it's just there to impede progress and look kind of like it belongs around buildings.

If I can't get a solid answer in the next little while, you will be the answer. Sorry, I just am hoping for some kind of exact answer or explanation. :) – Xan Sep 11 '11 at 14:26

It does resemble a cycle bollard. i.imgur.com/iH7hz.jpg – Jonathan Drain Sep 11 '11 at 16:07
@Jonathan Very true! It does appear as if they are linked kind of though. +1 for a good point though! – Xan Sep 11 '11 at 16:43

I believe that is fencing, from my knowledge of the old games anyway. If I can, I will fire up the game and take a look to confirm it.
