This is evidenced by the different types used by Blue during his reign as the Gym Leader of the Viridian Gym in Generations II, IV, and VII, although he is the only Gym Leader to do so.

In the Japanese game manuals from Generation I, this was called ジムのムリーダー ( Gym's Leader) rather than the definitive name ジムリーダー ( Gym Leader). In the English game manuals from Generation II, both "Gym Leader" and "Leader" are used. In later sections about the cities and towns, this was also shortened to "Leader". In the English game manuals from Generation I, this was called "Pokémon Leader" in the section explaining and listing Gym Leaders. 6.4 Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys.6.3 Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure.Some Gym Leaders also have secondary professions, such as Elesa being a fashion model, Valerie being a fashion designer, and Katy owning a bakery. Examples include Koga, Giovanni, and Wallace. Leaders can also choose to vacate their position. Roark and his father, Byron, are both Gym Leaders at the same time, in different Gyms. However, Gyms do not necessarily belong to a particular family. A few appear to be passed on through families: Janine, Falkner, and Flannery all took over their respective Gyms from a close family member. Others, such as Whitney, are chosen by the other members of the region's Pokémon League. Some of them founded their Gyms and are self-appointed. ![]() It has not exactly been made clear how Gym Leaders attain their position, but it appears that it varies for each Gym.

Great care must be taken to make sure that their Gym reflects the best environment for the type in which they specialize, such as swimming pools in a Water-type Gym, trees and flowering plants in a Grass-type or a Bug-type Gym, or ice and snow in an Ice-type Gym. Gym Leaders are also responsible for overseeing how their respective Gyms are run and maintained. If a Trainer defeats a Gym Leader in battle, then the Trainer earns that Gym's Badge. The main job of a Gym Leader is to test Trainers and their Pokémon so that they are strong and resourceful enough to take the Pokémon League challenge. The Gym Leader (Japanese: ジムリーダー Gym Leader), also called Pokémon Leader or Leader in some early manuals, is the highest-ranking member of a Pokémon Gym.
