'''Gym Challenge''' is the name given to the seventh main expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In Japan, it was released as '''Challenge from the Darkness'''. It features [[Generation I]] Pokémon and is themed around the last four [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. The English expansion was released on October 16, 2000, while the Japanese expansion was released on June 25, 1999. It was originally planned to be released on October 16 in the United States, being pushed forward to October 7, but was moved by to its original release date.
'''Gym Challenge''' is the name given to the seventh main expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In Japan, it was released as '''Challenge from the Darkness''', the sixth expansion in the Pokémon Card Game. It is based on {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, and {{game|Red and Green|s|Green}}, featuring [[Generation I]] Pokémon and the [[Kanto]] region's [[Gym Leader]]s. The English expansion was released on October 16, 2000, while the Japanese expansion was released on October 24, 1998. Gym Challenge combines its Japanese equivalent with the {{TCG|Leaders' Stadium}} expansion.


Several cards feature different illustration in the English print and Japanese print as they were deemed "inappropriate" by Wizards. These includes {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Misty's Tears|118}} (deemed unsuitable for younger players as it featured a "nude" Misty), {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Sabrina's Gaze|125}} (Sabrina was holding a [[Master Ball]], while a single middle digit protruding upwards), and {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}} (it featured an ''omote manji'' which has a similarity to the Nazis' {{wp|swastika}}. Two cards were not released in English, namely {{TCG ID|Challenge from the|Imakuni?'s Doduo|Darkness}} (which featured [[Tomoaki Imakuni]], a singer not widely known outside of Japan), and {{TCG ID|Challenge from the|_____'s Chansey|Darkness}} (which featured blank owner's Pokémon). They were also the first Japanese cards to feature White Circle and White Diamond rarities.
Two cards feature different illustration in the English release and the Japanese release as they were deemed "inappropriate". {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}} originally has a {{wp|swastika}} that resembled the swastika used by the Nazis, and it was changed to a different symbol. {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Misty's Tears|118}} originally has Misty drawn nude, and it was changed to a Squirtle trying to stop Misty's tears from falling down.
