Gyms that are certified by the Pokémon League are vital to a Trainer's Pokémon journey. Leagues are designed so that conventional Trainers must travel far and wide before entering a League Competition, as the only way to enter one is by gaining at least eight official Gym Badges, and there can only be one official Gym per city.
List of Gyms
There are eight known official Gyms in each region. In the anime, Gary Oak reveals that he has more than eight Badges, hinting that there are more Gyms than players are given access to in the games. Specifically, he has at least ten badges excluding the Earth Badge.
Before the Indigo League competition, Ash encounters Otoshi in Bad to the Bone; he owns eight badges, but only shares four in common with Ash. Later in the episode, another Trainer appears with eight other completely different badges. In total, Ash, Gary, Otoshi and the other Trainer displayed 27 different types of badges prior to competing in the Indigo Plateau Conference, so there must be at least this number of official gyms in Kanto. This is however impossible because there aren't 27 cities in Kanto listed in the games. The anime however shows many different cities and towns where badges could be obtained.
Whilst on her journey collecting badges, Sakura collected badges from both Kanto and Johto, so it is unclear what the rules are for competing in championship tournaments.
At the Hoenn Pokémon League Championship, Morrison is shown to have an eighth badge different from Ash's, suggesting that there are at least 9 official gyms in Hoenn. Many believe it could be a badge fromSlateport or Pacifidlog.
During Barry's Busting Out All Over!, in the Sinnoh saga, Barry was seen to have a badge that is not present in the games and most likely will not be possessed by Ash.
