Hearthome Gym

This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it.

The Hearthome Gym (Japanese: ヨスガジム Yosuga Gym) is the official Gym of Hearthome City. It is based on Template:Type2 Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Fantina. Trainers who defeat her receive the Relic Badge.

The Hearthome Gym was the fifth gym in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, but in Pokémon Platinum this was changed to the third gym. This is evident by the significant level change of Fantina's Pokémon.

In the games

In Diamond and Pearl

The Hearthome Gym is a giant, five-story building constructed of gray stone blocks, and is illuminated by eerie gray-blue torches. On every floor, there is a simple mathematical puzzle and three doors corresponding with the answers. Picking the correct door leads to the next elevator up, while picking the wrong door leads to a dead end and a trainer to fight. This puzzle is somewhat pointless, as the Pokétch has a Calculator App, which can be used to find the answers with minimal effort. The Gym Leader waits in the final room on the fifth floor, which has stained glass windows and resembles a cathedral.

In Platinum

In Pokémon Platinum, Hearthome Gym has become much like Dewford Gym from Generation III; it is dark, and the only light source is limited. The player must navigate their way around the gym using a flashlight to locate a blue tile on the floor, which corresponds to the correct door. Entering the wrong door will result in the player returning to the lobby, and the blue tile is reset each time the player enters the gym. Duskull lamps are used as visible walls, to guide the player around. There are other trainers with flashlights the player must battle, in order to make their way to Fantina.

She is third gym leader in this game, able to be battled on the first visit to Hearthome. Although Fantina uses similar Pokémon, at different levels, she no longer has Drifblim, her original signature Pokémon.

Trivia

• The mathematics questions in this gym are mostly basic addition and subtraction questions, which becomes somewhat of a running joke among the trainers faced, some of which mention that the questions should have been impossible to get wrong with use of the Pokétch's Calculator App.
• Although the Hearthome Gym is considered the third in Platinum, it still shows up as the fifth badge on the trainer card and Fantina's face is on the fifth slot.
• During the battle with her, Fantina says, "Never give up, never surrender." This is a reference to the movie Galaxy Quest.
• The gym in Platinum bears a striking resemblance to the Battle Pyramid, as the lighting there is also limited and a blue tile must be found to continue.
