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}} like they are portrayed in the {{pkmn|anime}} and subsequent game entries. While some of these patches do resemble the Badges seen in the final game like the [[Media:Sugimori1996.png| Cascade Badge]], [[Media:Sugimori1996.png|Volcano Badge]] or even [[Media:Red Blue Blue.png|Rainbow]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX 3.png|Badge]], it appears that some of the designs were just made for the sake of aesthetics much like real-life embroided patches (case being 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 embroided "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 / 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) it's likely that these designs were just chosen randomly, the resemblance to the Cascade Badge being most likely a coincidence seeing the fact that it is but a stylized drop of water. | |||
