The origin of the anime of the famous franchise Pokémon It turned out to be quite complex for the young Ash Ketchum, trainer of the small Pallet Town, who had to face particularly difficult opponents on his first big adventure and also had to deal with one of his eternal rivals: Gary Oak.

The tradition introduced in video games and then brought into the animated transpositions is, in fact, Face only 8 gyms in order to then be able to access the Pokémon league of the region in which the protagonist is located thanks to the respective medals. So the question is how and why Gary Oak owned 10 medals during your trip to Kanto?

From the start, Professor Oak’s grandson proved determined, selfish, and especially adept at building trusting relationships with his Pokémon, and managed to win battles that Ash found extremely complex. That would make him explore the region much deeper, and likely to find more gyms than appeared in the canonical evolutions of the series.

In fact, Series 7 of the medals Gary owns come from gyms Ash has never been to, whichever comes to mind Let’s say there are 15 or more such places distributed on the surface of the kanto. The fact that he has accumulated 10 instead of 8, or which are required to access the league, highlights the exhibitionist side of his character. And did you remember this detail? Have you ever wondered what other gyms could be? Tell us in the comments.

In conclusion, we want to remind you that a fan made a realistic cosplay of Venusaur and Blastoise and we let you find out who is the strongest trainer in the Pokémon series.
