Trivia
- There is a significant difference between the English and Japanese releases, namely what cards were available in those sets. Gym 1 focused solely on the first four Kanto Gym leaders (Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, and Erika). Because of this, there was a lack of Psychic Pokémon. Wizards of the Coast, when releasing the English set, decided to mix in a few cards from Gym 2, just to add some Psychic Pokémon to the set.
- As the set symbol for Gym 1 and 2 in Japan was the same, the symbols were changed for the release of Gym Heroes and for the next set Gym Challenge, allowing players and collectors to distinguish between the two.
- Since there were a number of "fixed" cards in the Japanese release of Gym 1 (cards only available in special pre-constructed theme decks), Wizards decided to give a number of them a Rare rarity. However, many players felt that a number of those originally-fixed cards, such as Misty's Tentacool, Misty's Goldeen and Brock's Zubat, were not given appropriate rarities, considering the simplistic abilities those cards had. These "common rares" created quite a stir in the Pokémon TCG community; by Gym Challenge however, Wizards decided to base the rarity of fixed cards on their game play abilities over their "fixed rarity" properties.
- Gym 1 was the first expansion in Japan to feature pre-constructed Theme Decks.
- Blaine's Moltres, the first card that required 5 Energy cards for an attack, debuted in Gym Heroes (Gym 2 in Japan).
