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.
