A '''Badge''' (Japanese: '''バッジ''' '' | A '''Gym Badge''' (Japanese: '''ジムバッジ''' ''Gym Badge''), commonly referred to as simply a '''badge''' (Japanese: '''バッジ''' ''badge''), is an item that serves as proof of a [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s victory in a battle against a [[Gym Leader]] at a Pokémon [[Gym]]. | ||
Trainers need to collect a certain number of | Trainers need to collect a certain number of Gym Badges in order to qualify for a region's [[Pokémon League]]. Young Trainers usually begin their initial [[Pokémon journey]] by traveling from city to city in order to collect them. Badges are small enough to fit easily between one's thumb and index finger and can be pinned to a shirt or kept in a badge case. | ||
==Terminology== | |||
In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet, Violet]], and {{pkmn|Masters EX}}, it is written in lowercase as "badge" or in title case as "Gym Badge". Prior to [[Generation IX]], the word "Badge" was written in title case even on its own. | |||
In all core series games that feature badges except [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], Badge is consistently written in title case (or ALLCAPS in Generations 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]]) | |||
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'''!"'' | |||
* ''"I hear you beat [[Grusha]] and earned yourself a '''Gym Badge'''! Way to go!"'' | |||
* ''"[[Nemona]]'s '''Gym Badges''' are squeaky-clean!"'' | |||
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: | |||
* ''"As Gym Leaders, it's part of our job to award '''badges''' to Trainers who've proven their skill."'' ([[Morty]]) | |||
* ''"The '''badge''' I give out is called... the '''Fairy Badge'''. It's a really beautiful '''badge''', too."'' ([[Valerie]]) | |||
* ''"So instead they faced me in their first battle for a '''Gym Badge'''."'' ([[Brock]]) | |||
* ''"When I got my first '''Gym Badge''', I used the move {{m|Thunderbolt}}."'' ([[Volkner]]) | |||

A selection of familiar and unfamiliar | A selection of familiar and unfamiliar badges can be seen in early character artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It appears that the original concept of badges was more similar to an {{wp|embroidered patch}} than the {{wp|Badge|pinned badge}} they are portrayed as in the {{pkmn|anime}} and subsequent game entries. While some of these patches do resemble badges seen in the final game like the [[Media:Sugimori1996.png|Cascade Badge]], the [[Media:Sugimori1996.png|Volcano Badge]] or even the [[Media:Red Blue Blue.png|Rainbow]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX 3.png|Badge]], others don't appear to be based on anything, and may have only been made for the sake of aesthetics, much like real-life embroidered patches, such as Red's "[[Media:Red Green Red.png|Leaf]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX cover.png|Badge]]" or Silver's "[[Media:Gold Silver Silver.png|Artsy Badge]]". | ||
Other instances of embroidered " | Other instances of embroidered "badges" can be seen in the cover art for the ''Games That Stand Out Collection'' magazine, with the male Trainer's [[Media:Magazine boytrainer.png|rock or diamond]] badge and the female Trainer's [[Media:Magazine girltrainer.png|teardrop]] badge, which shares a resemblance to the Cascade Badge. However, given the nature of this illustration (the designs were made specifically for this cover and weren't intended to be used in the franchise<ref>[https://imgur.com/FFLW01B The scan of the interview page with English translations newly annotated]</ref>), it is likely that these designs were chosen randomly. The latter badge's resemblance to the Cascade Badge was most likely a coincidence, given it is a stylized drop of water. | ||

In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the stat or stats are increased by 12.5%; in [[Generation III]], the stat or stats are increased by 10%. This boost does not exist from [[Generation IV]] onward. | ||
In Generation I, this boost is reapplied whenever the player's Pokémon's stats are raised or lowered, allowing boosts to be stacked (this stacking effect is lost if the Pokémon levels up). In Generation II, if the attack is a [[critical hit]] and the attacker's used offensive stat stage is less than or equal to the opponent's defensive stat stage, all | In Generation I, this boost is reapplied whenever the player's Pokémon's stats are raised or lowered, allowing boosts to be stacked (this stacking effect is lost if the Pokémon levels up).

The type strengthened matches the type theme of the [[Gym]] (for example, Zephyr Badge boosts the Flying type); despite the Viridian Gym no longer having a type theme in Generation II, the Earth Badge boosts Ground-type moves. | ||

[[Outsider Pokémon]] over a certain [[level]] will refuse to obey the player without the appropriate badge. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, obedience is determined by the number of badges, not which specific badges the player has. Starting in {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, this applies even to non-outsider Pokémon, but is based on the level the Pokémon was met at when [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] (as displayed on the [[Summary]] screen), rather than its current level. This prevents a Pokémon from suddenly becoming disobedient once it exceeds a player's current obedience level (listed below), as long as it was caught at or below that level. In Generation IX if a Pokémon is received in a trade, the level at which it was traded instead becomes the level it was met at, even if traded back to its [[Original Trainer]]. | ||

For example, {{Ash}} was awarded several badges during the [[original series]] because of his kind heart and determination; {{an|Misty}} has berated Ash on several occasions because he did not properly earn all of his Kanto badges, arguing that he really only earned three badges (the Thunder, Soul, and Volcano badges) and the other five badges were given to him on technicalities. In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', the [[Sunyshore Gym]] was shown to be handing out free Beacon Badges.

For example, after evolving into Charmeleon, [[Ash's Charmander]] began to disobey him, which was only exacerbated upon evolving again into Charizard. | ||

As a result, when Ash attempted to challenge the Gym shortly after arriving in the Kalos region, Clembot acted according to its programming and threw him out. After Clemont [[XY009|reprogrammed the Clembot]], he removed the badge restriction, but Ash indicated he would still collect four badges before challenging Clemont himself at the Gym. | ||

Other badges observed in the anime which do not correspond to known badges suggest that there are at least 9 Gyms in [[Hoenn]], 11 in [[Sinnoh]], 14 in [[Unova]], and 11 in [[Kalos]]. Despite this, Ash's badge case has frequently had indents specifically shaped for the badges that appear in the games. However, Trainers only need 8 to qualify. | ||
It is also implied in the anime that a Gym Badge serves as a primary ID for a Gym Leader (and probably a secondary ID for a Trainer). {{an|Brock}} has used his Boulder Badge to identify himself in order to clear his name from any accusations of stealing parts from a machine shop in [[Cerulean City]]. | It is also implied in the anime that a Gym Badge serves as a primary ID for a Gym Leader (and probably a secondary ID for a Trainer). {{an|Brock}} has used his Boulder Badge to identify himself in order to clear his name from any accusations of stealing parts from a machine shop in [[Cerulean City]]. | ||
Additionally, | Additionally, badges are not the only way to enter the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|academy|boarding school}} for Pokémon Trainers, is an expensive school for children, where moving up a grade is the equivalent of winning two Gym Badges. Upon graduation, students may immediately apply for entry in Kanto's League Conference. Alternatively, Trainers can take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]], which awards a single badge that grants entry to the Indigo Plateau Conference on its own; it is convenient for people whose age, health, or work keeps them from traveling around to collect badges. | ||

Several unknown badges can be seen at the beginning of ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', while many Trainers Ash has met have had badges that differ from those that are obtainable in the games. This suggests that there are Gyms in locations which do not appear in the games and therefore more than eight Gyms in each region. Trainers with badges not seen in the games include: | ||

Incidentally, this would provide one Gym for each of the 15 [[type]]s at the time. | ||

In total, Ash, Gary, Otoshi, and the other Trainer display 27<!-- Ash's 8 + Gary's extra 7 + Otoshi's extra 4 + that other Trainer's 8 --> different types of badges, so there must be at least this number of Gyms in Kanto at the time, assuming they are all from the same region. However, [[Sakura]], a Trainer on her journey, was shown to be collecting badges from both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], so it is unclear what the specific rules are for competing in championship tournaments. | ||
