Boxing world champs are allowed to leave the ring, and even their gyms. World championship teams are allowed to leave their stadiums. | |
| Apr 8, 2016 at 12:23 | comment | added | Armin | @phantom42 I'm not completely sure whether gym leaders are the same as the champ. Considering the games, nobody tells the player that he is the gym leader now, but when you defeat the champ, everyone tells you your the champ, so becoming champ is already different than becoming gym leader. Couldn't the stuff, a champ is allowed to do also be different? | |
| Apr 8, 2016 at 12:18 | comment | added | phantom42 | @Armin Yes, but they were both still technically leaders for a time. There have been plenty of other leaders that have left their gyms throughout the anime, if only just to go do random things. It's just early, and I'm blanking on names/specific instances at the moment. | |
| Apr 8, 2016 at 12:16 | comment | added | phantom42 | True, but I don't see why the rules would really be any different. They're still people who have to live lives beyond just sitting in a gym | |
| Apr 8, 2016 at 12:15 | comment | added | Armin | I'm not sure, but weren't Misty's sisters also the gym leader? And didn't Brock's father take the position as gym leader? | |
