* For ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary]]'', [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Gym Leaders. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about them: 「ジムリーダー いのちをかけて かかってこい」 ''"Gym Leader, put your life on the line and challenge me."'' | |||
* The {{t|Dark}} type did not get a Gym until [[Generation VIII]], twenty years after the type debuted in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Previously, there have been three [[Elite Four]] members ([[Karen]], [[Sidney]], and [[Grimsley]]) as well as an [[Island Kahuna]] ([[Nanu]]) who specialize in Dark types. The other seventeen types have at least one Gym associated with them, with the new types {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Fairy}} getting gyms in their debut generations. | |||

* In the games, every Gym Leader has at least one Pokémon in his or her party that knows the [[TM]] move he or she gives 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. | * In the games, every Gym Leader has at least one Pokémon in his or her party that knows the [[TM]] move he or she gives out upon defeat.

* From Generations I | * 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.
