first go to the ice path get through it go to blackthorn go in the gym and beat Clair WARNING SHE is POWERFUL very powerful
8 gyms in Johto 8 gyms in Kanto 8+8=16 16 gyms
I think it's about 32. ITS 16. 8 FROM JHOTO AND 8 FROM KANTO
You have to go behind her gym and surf to a cave called the dragon den. Inside surf to a house and she is there. you have to answer some questions to get the badge.
the seventh gym badge snowpoint gym
beat the first 8 gym trainers then you can go to kanto by going east of new bark.
To get all 16 badges in Pokémon Gold you need to first beat the 8 Gym Leaders of the Johto region and then defeat the Elite Four and the Champion of the Johto region in order to become its Champion and unlock the Kanto region and then in order to get the remaining 8 badges you will need to beat the 8 Gym Leaders of the Kanto region.
actually there isn't 9 gym leader there is only 8 like the other ones. Actually, the 9th gym leader in heartgold and soulsilver would be the first gym leader in Kanto after you beat the elite four the first time, you can face the kanto gym leaders in any order.
After you have 8 gym badges from the jhoto and kanto region go to the power plant IN KANTO! Go to the left and you will find a yellow bird, that is zapdos. Hope that helps! :)
there should be 16 and first u have to get the 8 in jo-to then after u finish the game prof.oak will tell u how to go to kanto then u get those 8 badges
beat all 7 gym leaders and go to viridayan city gym
There are only 16 gyms in total, (8 in Johto, 8 in Kanto) so there is no 17th gym. *There used to be a gym on Cinnabar Island, until it was destroyed by the eruption of the Cinnaber Volcano-some time between Pokemon Red and Blue/Firered and Leafgreen and Pokemon Gold and Silver/Heartgold and Soulsilver.*
You are in jhoto first then when you have all the 8 gym badges you can go to kanto and get 8 more badges which will be all 16 badges then you can challenge the pokemon league. Hope that helped.
