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. This was the first time this was done.
• 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).
• This was the first expansion released since the Base Set that wasn't a reprint and contained the six basic Energy cards.
