All [[Kanto]] Gym Leaders of [[Generation I]] appeared in [[Pokémon Origins]], but only [[Brock]] and [[Giovanni]] had voice acted lines and key roles in the series' plot. In this canon, it is revealed that Leaders have different teams to take on challengers, depending on how many Badges they have.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Gym Leaders have the same jobs as in the games and anime, but are also shown to throw away their role as Leader and pursue other goals. Some Gym Leaders even become evil, such as [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Pryce]]. In order to become a Gym Leader in Adventures, one needs to fight a Trainer chosen by the [[Pokémon Association]] and win in front of them without letting one of their own Pokémon faint. The one exception to this rule seen so far has been by {{adv|Blue}} when he defended the building where {{adv|Red}} took his exam, since Red had to decline becoming a Gym Leader due to an injury, despite having passed the exam. Some Gym Leaders have jobs outside of their Gyms, but some of them focus solely on training their skills.

Gym Leaders are highly respected in their respective home regions and usually in other regions as well. When crises emerge, it is highly probable for Gym Leaders to gather to discuss about the situation that has befallen the region and what to do with it:

* All of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]'s Gym Leaders were called up for a tournament held at [[Indigo Plateau]] (which was interrupted by the [[Masked Man]]) to fight as teams to see which region had stronger Gym Leaders. The Kanto team won with four wins, three losses, and one draw.

* In the games, every Gym Leader has at least one Pokémon in their party that knows the [[TM]] move they give out upon defeat. Former Gym Leaders do not count in this, as Wallace when he is faced as Champion and Giovanni when he is faced in Generation IV do not have Pokémon that know the move they gave out as TMs when they were faced as Gym Leaders in previous games. Koga, despite not being a Gym Leader in Generation IV, has several Pokémon that know Toxic, the move he last gave out as a TM.

* From Generations I to V (not counting remakes), every move that was in a TM given out by a Gym Leader was a new move for that generation, and many of them were rarely (if ever) seen on any other Pokémon in the generation they were introduced. This trend has been broken in Generation VI, where only three Gym Leaders—Viola, Korrina, and Valerie—hand out TMs with moves new to the generation.

* In ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', it was mentioned that the position of Gym Leaders was very unforgiving, as it had a three-strike rule stating that if a Gym Leader lost three times in a row, the Gym will be disqualified. It also revealed that being a Gym Leader was costly, leaving little pay, and the government can't provide for them. It also revealed that the rather brutal nature of Gym leading was one of the reasons why {{an|Misty}}'s and {{an|Brock}}'s parents ended up abandoning them to Gym duties.
