===On hand===
Gary and [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]'s techniques are like the North and South pole's of the world; while Gary spends his time raising his pokémon in good technique and teaches them tough and cool moves, [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] uses clever strategy during battle and teaches most of his Pokémon tough and smart moves; Gary's [[Pokémon]] endure tough training and do not rely on luck and love in order to win battles.
 
 
== In the Games ==
 
{{Main|Blue (game)}}
 
The only game Gary is in is [[Pokemon Puzzle Challenge|Pokemon Puzzle League]], however his counterpart in the main series of games is [[Blue (game)|Blue]], who is [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]] in [[Pokemon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokemon Crystal|Crystal]], [[Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]].
