Gym Leader Castle: Difference between revisions

{{Incomplete}}

A '''Gym Leader Castle''' is a location in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] where players may battle the [[Gym Leader]]s (and their disciples) and the [[Elite Four]] of the [[Pokémon games]] of that [[Generation]].

The [[Generation II|second]] Gym Leader Castle in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] was more complex. Instead of it being an actual castle, it featured differently-designed rooms for each of [[Johto]]'s Gym Leaders, each one representing the leader's [[Elemental types|type]] in its design. Like its predecessor, players would need to defeat each of Johto's Gym Leaders in turn, now including an intervention by [[Team Rocket]] between the [[Olivine City|Olivine]] and [[Mahogany Town|Mahogany]] Gyms, and eventually making their way to the Elite Four and its Champion, [[Lance]]. Upon his defeat, if all Pokémon on the player's team came from a [[Game Boy]] cartridge, one of them could [[Move relearner|re-learn]] a move that was available to be learned by [[level]]-up.

After the defeat of Lance, mirroring the story progression in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], players may challenge a revamped version of the Kanto Gym Leader Castle. Though it has the same battle arenas as the [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|first game]], the design significantly differs: first, the eight badges of Kanto are on the sides of the castle's spires, and the eight are arranged closely together. Each Gym Leader has no disciples (you only battle the leaders) and they can be defeated in any order. After the defeat of Kanto's set of eight, trainers unlock the chance to battle against [[Red (game)|Red]], who, unlike his Game Boy counterpart, does not have a team that one would see in [[Pokémon Yellow]].
