Fighting Dojo: Difference between revisions

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

The Fighting Dojo is a former Pokémon Gym located in Saffron City. In Generations I, II, and III, it remains open and hosts Trainers who specialize in Template:Type2 Pokémon. In Generation IV, the Gym Leaders of the Kanto and Johto regions convene here and may be challenged to a rematch.

The Dojo has also appeared in the anime.

In the games

The Fighting Dojo was first seen in Pokémon Red and Blue, positioned to the left of the Saffron Gym. In these early games it was established that the Fighting Dojo and the Saffron Gym once battled against each other to determine which one would be the Indigo League's sixth Pokémon Gym. Due to the type advantage that the Template:Type2s that were trained at the Saffron Gym had over the Fighting-types used by the Dojo, Saffron Gym easily won and became the official gym.

Although no Badge can be won in the Dojo, the unofficial gym is still open and accepting of challenges. Four Black Belt-students test the player's abilities before he can challenge their master, the Karate Master. The reward for defeating him is a choice between Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan. Both Pokémon are at level 30.

Unlike other Pokémon Gyms, the Fighting Dojo has a simple design which has not changed much over the generations. From its appearances in Generation I games to the recently released Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Dojo has maintained a wooden floor with no mazes or puzzles to solve. Pure strength and battle strategy is needed to succeed in here.

In the Generation II games, only one of the students is left and the Fighting Dojo is at that time, much like Safari Zone, temporary closed down. The Fighting Master, here named Kiyo (Japanese: ノブヒコ Nobuhiko), can be found training in Johto's Mt. Mortar. The reward for defeating him is a Tyrogue who can evolve into either one of the Pokémon he gave away in the other games, as well as the new evolution Hitmontop.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen pose the same challenge to players as the original Generation I games. The key differences (apart from the obvious aesthetic changes) is the name of the Karate Master—Koichi as opposed to Generation II's Kiyo (Japanese: タケノリ Takenori)—and the level of the gift Pokémon—Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are now level 25.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto can be found here for a rematch much like how the Sinnoh Gym Leaders can be found for a rematch in the Battleground in Pokémon Platinum. Unlike Platinum, the Leaders have set times in which they will appear. However, they will not arrive at the Dojo until certain conditions have been met elsewhere in the game. Specifically, each Leader's telephone number must be obtained while he or she is not in their Gym.
