In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], this is consistently either written as lowercase '''badge''' or title-case '''Gym Badge'''. Some examples:
In all core series games that feature badges except [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], Badge is consistently written in title case (or ALLCAPS in Generation I to III, which frequently render proper nouns in ALLCAPS). Some examples:
* "''Those '''BADGEs''' have amazing secrets! Now then... Which of the 8 '''BADGEs''' should I describe?''" ({{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}})
* "''I got my '''Badge''' already, so it's no big deal to me, but...''" ({{ga|Barry}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}})
* "''This gate is the entrance to Victory Road! Only Pokémon Trainers who've collected all eight '''Badges''' may pass!''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])
* "''A Gym Challenger! And you've even earned your first two '''Badges'''!''" ([[Pokémon Sword and Shield]])


* ''"Now that you’ve got a '''badge''' from [[Katy]], you’re entitled to try a special Olive Roll challenge!"''
In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], it is instead written is lowercase as "badge" or title-case as "Gym Badge". Some examples:
* ''"Now that you've got a '''badge''' from [[Katy]], you're entitled to try a special Olive Roll challenge!"''
* ''"Show me the battle skills that got you six '''badges'''!"''
* ''"Show me the battle skills that got you six '''badges'''!"''
* ''"Pfft! Sure, you big joker! I bet you walked out with a '''badge''', didn’t you?"'' ([[Nemona]])
* ''"I hear you beat [[Grusha]] and earned yourself a '''Gym Badge'''! Way to go!"''
* ''"I hear you beat [[Grusha]] and earned yourself a '''Gym Badge'''! Way to go!"''
* ''"[[Nemona]]'s '''Gym Badges''' are squeaky-clean!"''
* ''"[[Nemona]]'s '''Gym Badges''' are squeaky-clean!"''
* ''"Man, you sure battle like someone with more than two '''Gym Badges'''!"'' ([[Nemona]])
Prior to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, in addition to the term "'''Gym Badge'''" being often mentioned, the word "'''Badge'''" used by itself also started with a capital letter. Some examples:
* ''"I got my '''Badge''' already, so it's no big deal to me, but..."'' ({{ga|Barry}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}})
* ''"This gate is the entrance to Victory Road! Only Pokémon Trainers who’ve collected all eight '''Badges''' may pass!"'' ([[Pokémon X and Y]])
* ''"I was hoping maybe I could get a glimpse of ’em, but the guard at the gate wouldn’t even let me pass without any '''Badges''' from Pokémon Gyms!"'' ([[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]])
* ''"<Pokémon> is looking at your new '''Badge''' and appears very happy!"'' (Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)
* ''"A Gym Challenger! And you’ve even earned your first two '''Badges'''!"'' ([[Pokémon Sword and Shield]])
In the manuals of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, both '''Badge''' and '''badge''' are mentioned:
* ''"If you are able to beat a Gym Leader, you'll receive an official '''Pokémon League Badge''' as evidence of your impressive victory. Wearing these '''badges''' allows you to use [[HM]] Moves that previously could not be used in the field, even if your Pokémon had learned them. The number of '''Badges''' you obtain determines what level of [[outsider Pokémon|traded Pokémon]] will follow your orders."'' ({{game|Platinum}}'s manual; a previous version of this text was also found in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}'s manuals)


In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], this is consistently written as lowercase '''badge''', including '''PML badge''', except the title-case '''Gym Badge''' is sometimes mentioned. As in the core series games, the badge names themselves are written in title case as well, such as '''Fairy Badge'''. Some examples:
