In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Badges have mystical and mysterious qualities that can somehow increase the power of the Pokémon owned by the Trainer who wields the Badges, just as the Boulder Badge increases the Pokémon's Attack stat in the games. In addition, Badges that don't allow higher leveled Pokémon to obey, such as the Soul Badge, do indeed allow the wearer to control even [[Legendary Pokémon]] such as {{p|Articuno}}. | In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Badges have mystical and mysterious qualities that can somehow increase the power of the Pokémon owned by the Trainer who wields the Badges, just as the Boulder Badge increases the Pokémon's Attack stat in the games.

Badges are not required to enter the Pokémon League tournament; however, without eight Badges corresponding to their home region, a Trainer must battle their way in to qualify for the finals. This ruling was introduced during a [[Pokémon Association]] meeting in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, to give Trainers incentive to challenge Gym Leaders, and remove the perception of Badges being seen as tools for evil. In the {{chap|Black & White}}, a last-minute advancement of the date of the Unova League tournament also restricted the eligible challengers to those with all eight of the region's Badges. | Badges are not required to enter the Pokémon League tournament; however, without eight Badges corresponding to their home region, a Trainer must battle their way in to qualify for the finals.

In [[Pokémon Live!]], {{an|Giovanni}} offers the ''Diamond Badge'' to Trainers who defeat his [[MechaMew2]]. He gives {{Ash}} the Diamond Badge prior to the battle, believing that Ash will never win. However, Ash defeats Giovanni with {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s assistance, proceeding to give the Diamond Badge to {{an|Misty}} as a belated birthday gift. Pokémon Live! is not in continuity with the {{pkmn|anime}}, and the Diamond Badge is not mentioned elsewhere in the series. | In [[Pokémon Live!]], {{an|Giovanni}} offers the ''Diamond Badge'' to Trainers who defeat his [[MechaMew2]].
