The '''Gym guide''' is a character in the [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]]. The title actually belongs to at least five characters, each corresponding to a different [[region]]. In each case, the guide is usually found at the front of a Pokémon [[Gym]], ready to offer tactical advice to novice {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. He can occasionally be sarcastic in nature.

Some gyms are unique, in that their caretaker seemingly roams outside its walls. The [[Celadon Gym]] caretaker is not seen in his Gym, and appears instead at the [[Rocket Game Corner]], where he plays the [[slot machine]]s. Similarly, the [[Cianwood Gym]] caretaker is found in the [[Cianwood City|city]]'s [[Pokémon Center]] instead of the Gym. The [[Petalburg Gym]] caretaker will vanish after the {{player}} has defeated [[Norman]], and, in [[Generation II]] only, the [[Cinnabar Gym]] caretaker will arrive after [[Blaine]] has been defeated.

No official name was released for the gym caretaker in the first four generations. This gave rise to the fan-designated name "Jim Gai"—a pun on "Gym guy".

In [[Generation V]], he is given the name '''Clyde''' (Japanese: '''ガイドー''' ''Gaido'') and if the player talks to him before their Gym battle, he will give a [[Fresh Water]]; at the [[Striaton Gym]] and [[Nacrene Gym]], he approaches the player and gives it, rather than requiring the player to approach him.
