==Information==

'''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 June 25, 1999. Gym Challenge combines its Japanese equivalent with the {{TCG|Leaders' Stadium}} expansion.

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.
