Striaton Gym: Difference between revisions

The Sanyou Gym (Japanese: サンヨウジム Sanyou Gym) is the official gym of Sanyou City. The Gym Leaders are Dent, Pod, and Corn, who specialize in Grass, Fire, and Template:Type2 Pokémon respectively. Trainers who defeat them receive the Tri Badge.

In the games

When first entering Sanyou City, the gym is blocked off by Dent. He disappears into the gym once he discovers the player's starter Pokémon type. Upon entering the gym, the Caretaker will give the player a Fresh Water.

The Sanyou Gym is based on a butler cafe. Aside from the lobby, it consists of three different rooms that are behind three different curtains. In the first two rooms, two sets of a table and two chairs are set symmetrically to the sides of the gym, with three circular panels situated in the middle. The first is a green panel with a leaf symbol, signifying Grass. The second is a red panel with a flame symbol, signifying Fire. The third is a blue panel with a rain droplet symbol, signifying Water. The player must step on the panel that has the type advantage of the symbol displayed on the curtain. The curtain will open if the right panel is stepped on. The third room however, is a much bigger room, containing two big round tables with four chairs around each at both sides of the Gym. It also contains a small set of stairs leading to a platform where the Gym Leaders stand. The chosen starter Pokémon determines which Gym Leader is battled. If Oshawott is chosen, Dent will be battled; if Tepig is chosen, Corn will be battled; if the Snivy is chosen, Pod will be battled.

Once the player gets to the third room, Dent stands at the top of the platform, and when spoken to, both Corn and Pod will emerge from behind Dent. The leader who will be battled will then stand in the center, and the other two gym leaders will then stand at the back of the platform, one at each side.

The Gym also has a dual purpose as a restaurant.

Items

In the anime

The Sanyou Gym first appeared in BW005; it is a very posh building with pillars on the outside and a glass topped roof. Through the front doors is a cafe where Pod, Dent and Corn are waiters. The walls of the cafe open up to reveal a passageway to the battleground. The battleground features rocky terrain on the battlefield, as well as an area for spectators to cheer on their friends during battle.

Trivia

• While all other Gyms, aside from Viridian Gym in Generations II and IV, specialize in a specific type, the Sanyou Gym is the only one so far that specializes in several types.
• The Sanyou Gym is the only gym in the games to have a different Gym Leader depending on the starter the player picked.
• Dent, Pod and Corn's Yorterry are identical.
• The Sanyou Gym is the only Gym where there are no Trainers who use the Gym Leader's specialty type.
• The external design of the Sanyou Gym in the anime, like the Viridian Gym, is also inspired by Roman architecture: the columns used are similar to that of the Doric order.
