Kanto Gyms

Just like most other regions, the Kanto region has many Gyms located throughout the towns and cities. In the Generation I games (Red and Blue), Generation II games (Gold and Silver), Generation III remakes (FireRed and LeafGreen), Generation IV remakes (HeartGold and SoulSilver), and Generation VII remakes (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!), there are a total of 8 Gyms. In the Pokémon Anime, the main character, Ash, battled at eight Gyms as well. However, as seen with several characters' Badges, there were other unidentified Gyms that were not shown in the games.

===Celadon City Gym===
The Celadon Gym is located in Celadon City. The leader is Erika. She gives out the Rainbow Badge and uses -type Pokémon as her speciality. The gym conatins three paths that can be used to reach Erika in Fire Red and Leaf green. For the central path, player can avoid the first trainer but the has to battle other and vice versa. Then player has to use Cut on the thin tree present and has to battle another trainer. Then, Erika can be battled if player moves straight. If moved left or right, another trainer comes for battle. If used the left or right path, the trainer can avoid all trainers and cut the tree. After cutting it, the player has to battle at least one trainer, and then battle Erika.
===Fuchsia City Gym===
The Fuchsia City gym is in Fuchsia City. The leader varies in the games. In Red/Blue/Yellow, Koga is the leader, but in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Janine, Koga's daughter, is the leader. Both focus on the -type.
