For pretty much all the gyms in all the games you cant go into it immediately once entering the town/city, most of the time you have to earn your right to face the gym or something. Are there any cities/towns in all the games where you can just go in immediately?

I think that you can go to pretty much all of the HG/SS kanto gyms without doing anything
This question doesn't make sense. Can you rephrase it or something?
He is asking if there are any gyms that you do not have to do a task or something to get to
yeah, it's really easy to understand. :P
and i would also like to know this :/
The answer: Yes


Which ones exactly I do not know, but I do know that quite  a number of games have  useless gyms in the first games of the region*

Best answer

Yes

My answers refer to "immediately" as in the sense of being able to go straight to the gym upon arrival in that specific town, without having to complete a certain task.

*Means it required you to have an HM, in terms of it's first usage; onwards I found it unnecessary to mark others.

Hopefully I've Helped!

In RSE, the Mauville gym is closed until Wally is defeated, the Petalburg gym is closed until the Lavaridge gym is defeated, and the Sootopolis gym is closed until Maxie (R) or Archie (SE) is defeated at the seafloor cavern, and Rayquaza is awakened (E). In DP the Hearthome gym is closed until the Pastoria gym is defeated.
Okay, I'll double check. Thanks :)
I don't think you can fight Giovanni until you get the other 7 gym badges and he's defeated...
Couldnt fight Korrina until you Went to the Tower of Mastery
Thanks. :)

Sorry about the mistakes, if my source didn't explicitly state something was necessary I just assumed that we could just go into the battle.
the storylines might be slightly different in different games based in the same region. I also edited my comment to include more gyms that you missed.
You need to talk to Steven in order to enter the gym.

> The Fortree Gym cannot be accessed when the player first arrives in Fortree City, as an invisible Kecleon is blocking the path to the Gym.

You can directly enter Veilstone gym in Sinnoh games (though you need to talk with Dawn/Lucas and Crasher Wake (Pt) b4 entering the gym.

Also, this needs update of rest of the two gens.
