The day he started out on his Pokémon journey, he came off as an arrogant Trainer, much like his {{pkmn|games|game}} counterpart, {{ga|Blue}}. His chosen [[starter Pokémon]] was {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}, which was actually the same Pokémon that Ash originally wanted to start with. He even had a group of [[Gary's cheerleaders|cheerleaders]] who cheered him on in all his battles and would go so far as crying whenever he lost. He didn't walk on his journeys like most Trainers did; instead he had his own sporty red convertible with a chauffeur. Gary loved when he got a chance to make fun of Ash by bragging about how far behind Ash was compared to him. He also gave Ash the pet-name of "Ashy-boy" (Japanese: {{tt|"Satoshi''-kun''"|Satoshi is Ash's Japanese name and ''-kun'' is a Japanese honorific, kun can be considered insulting when not used among friends}}), which occasionally seems to annoy him. His style of training at this point was to capture many Pokémon and to use the strongest, as a stark contrast to Ash, who focused on developing a bond with his Pokémon. | The day he started out on his Pokémon journey, he came off as an arrogant Trainer, much like his {{pkmn|games|game}} counterpart, {{ga|Blue}}.

His arrogance continued overtime during Ash’s journey in Kanto until he challenged the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Giovanni}}, to a Pokémon battle for his final (but not necessary) Badge in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' where he was brutally defeated by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}. However, this still didn't change his arrogance. It would take a loss at the [[Pokémon League]] way later on against [[Melissa]] for him to finally realize that he greatly needed to change himself | His arrogance continued overtime during Ash’s journey in Kanto until he challenged the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Giovanni}}, to a Pokémon battle for his final (but not necessary) Badge in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' where he was brutally defeated by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}.

In his few appearances during the Johto season, he seemed to have grown more polite and respectful to others, including Ash. | |||

* Gary is one of the few characters from the [[original series]], who appeared during both dubs of the {{pkmn|anime}}, to have his English dub voice remain unchanged; he is always voiced by [[Carter Cathcart]]. | * Gary is one of the few characters from the [[original series]], who appeared during both dubs of the {{pkmn|anime}}, to have his English dub voice remain unchanged; he is always voiced by [[Carter Cathcart]]. | ||
* In the original series, Gary's attire is similar to {{ga|Blue}}'s during [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}. In his {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and {{series2|Diamond & Pearl}} appearances, Gary wears Blue's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Interestingly, the cape he adorns in the [[OK!|third opening]] and in [[EP115]] resembles the one worn by his cross-canon manga counterpart {{adv|Blue}} in the {{chap|Yellow}}. Gary has yet to be seen wearing Blue's outfits from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Sun|Moon}}. | * In the original series, Gary's attire is similar to {{ga|Blue}}'s during [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}.

* In [[Pokémon Stickers series 1]], a sticker depicting Gary identified him as "'''Bailey'''". The same error occurred in the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub of ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''. The occurrence of the same error in two apparently unrelated sources might indicate an early-planned name, much like how Ash was initially known as "'''Casey'''". | * In [[Pokémon Stickers series 1]], a sticker depicting Gary identified him as "'''Bailey'''".
