Ash has obtained eight Badges from Kanto, but only three (Boulder, Cascade, Earth) actually matching known Badges, and another three lookalike Badges (resembling the Soul, Marsh, and Volcano). Ash also obtained four Badges from the Orange Islands, but none of them match any known Badges. | Ash has obtained eight Badges from Kanto, but only three (Boulder, Cascade, Earth) actually matching known Badges, and another three lookalike Badges (resembling the Soul, Marsh, and Volcano).

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}}. | |||
It is not known what sort of material Badges are made of, but it has been confirmed that the Gym Leaders each own a Badge made of different material than the kind given out to normal Trainers, as that is how the [[Masked Man]]'s identity was narrowed down to among the 16 known Gym Leaders when [[Aibo]] scraped off a part of his hidden Badge with his {{m|Scratch}} attack. | |||
[[Team Rocket]] used seven Kanto Gym Badges to power a machine that combined Articuno, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer|a single beast}}. The machine also had a secret slot for the Earth Badge, which Lance manipulated to further his own goals by turning [[Cerise Island]] into a giant Badge energy amplifier to fuel {{p|Lugia}} with. | |||
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. In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, it was revealed that a Trainer must gather a new set of eight Badges if they wish to participate in a Pokémon League tournament again. | |||
Six [[Pokédex holder|main characters]] have actively been collecting Gym Badges: {{adv|Red}}, who managed to collect seven Kanto Badges (missing the Earth Badge); {{adv|Sapphire}}, {{adv|Platinum}}, and {{adv|Black}}, whom managed to collect all of the Badges in their respective regions; {{Henry}}, who currently has six [[Galar]] Gym Badges; and {{Casey}}, who managed to collect four Galar Badges before losing her [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. Other characters have also gathered Badges, such as {{adv|Cheren}} and [[Hop]]. {{adv|Blue}} once competed for and won a Boulder Badge, but wasn't seen trying to obtain the other Badges. {{adv|Silver}} once stole a Badge from each Gym in Johto in order to gain access into the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]], but later returned them to their respective Gym Leaders. | |||
