Gym Heroes Pokemon Cards

Here is an article about Gym Heroes Set Pokemon Cards. I hope you find the information useful!

The Gym Heroes Pokemon Cards, released in August, 2000 , Gym Heroes is the sixth set of cards from the Pokemon Trading Card Game. It comes after Team Rocket and before Gym Challenge. Its symbol is an amphitheatre with a white stage and black tiers. Amphitheatre (definition) The name amphitheatre (alternatively amphitheater) refers to a level, open space surrounded by an oval area that gradually ascends. The area may be a man-made structure or a natural geographic formation, but it is suited for seating people on the sloping area for the viewing of spectator sports, games, concerts, displays, rallies, or theatrical performances.

Its name comes from the Gym Leaders it focuses around and how these Gym Leaders have relatively optimistic and carefree personalities compared to those featured in Gym Challenge. This is the first set to have Owner's Pokemon, the owners being the Gym Leaders of the various Pokemon Gyms around Kanto. While all eight Gym Leaders are represented, the most attention is paid to the first four met in the video games: Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, and Erika. Each of their Pokemon reflect their favorite Pokemon types, as well as Pokémon they have been seen carrying in the TV show. For example, Brock specializes in the Rock-type, so a lot of his cards in the card game would be Rock Pokemon. However, in the anime, he also carried a Vulpix, a Fire-type, which is also included in this set. .

Owner's Pokémon must be evolved from a Pokemon of the same owner, which also proved to be unpopular, as the element of mixing and matching cards from different sets is lost. Additionally, some of the "Rare" cards had little or no value in play, such as Misty's Tentacool, which is incapable of doing damage and is overshadowed by a better version of "Uncommon" rarity. However, Owner's Pokemon have been sporadically released in Japan, though except for those within EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua, none have been translated into English.
