From a few runs just of Area 1, I've come to the conclusion that any trainer on the level can be the Gate Trainer, and it is randomly determined upon entering (with a few exceptions, as Sergeo will always be the Gate Trainer on the player's ''first'' visit to Area 1). There is also a decent amount of information missing from this page, such as trainers and potential rewards (I got a Calcium from Area 1, which is not listed, and fought an unlisted trainer named Lass Minne, who opened the gate).

== Trainers ==
After going through the entire Tower once and several data-collecting runs through Area 1 only, I've concluded that the way we were presenting Trainers (individual teams of 2 Pokemon) was highly misleading. Trainers can have ''any'' two Pokemon in their pool, in any combination, and it seems their genders and levels are randomized as well. Since so much of this variable information is necessary for the template we were using — and since several, possibly all, pools have much more than six Pokemon, and I'm not sure this template is designed for more than six — this template is clearly inadequate.
As far as I see, we have two options: either display the Trainers using a different template, or don't include the non-Boss Trainers at all (which we do on the Battle Tower/Battle Frontier articles). I'm not usually one for intentionally leaving out information like this, but given the massive amount of information that only randomly displays itself in-game (making it impossible to make sure we have everything, as well as making it impossible to verify whether another person's addition is true or false), I think leaving out the non-Boss Trainers altogether is the better path for this article. Thoughts?
As I don't have White 2 and thus can't confirm that it's the same, I didn't make any of the associated changes to White Treehollow, but I think everything probably works the same in that version, too, with the exception being that the Trainer classes that appear seem to be version-dependent.
