In Generation II, while there are no s other than Jasmine in Olivine Gym, the lighthouse poses a challenge which provides a counterbalance to it, as there are many Trainers on each of its floors.
In , Preston and Connie are actually Trainers from the Gym, and will return there once Amphy has been cured. Also in Generation IV, once the player has spoken to her, Jasmine opens a door leading to an elevator that goes from the top floor directly back to the bottom.

Aqua, only accessible after entering the Hall of Fame and getting the S.S. Ticket from Professor Elm. The player can only ride it from Olivine City to Vermilion City on Mondays and Fridays due to the staff resting up.
