The orderly movement of a cell specialized to produce haploid gametes through the embryo from its site of production to the place where the gonads will form. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism or multicellular structure. The generation and maintenance of gametes in a multicellular organism. A gamete is a haploid reproductive cell. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. The directed movement of a pole cell (germline progenitors in insects) from its site of production at the posterior pole of the embryo through to the site where the gonads will form.
