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]], [[Media:Sugimori1996.png|Volcano Badge]] or even [[Media:Red Blue Blue.png|Rainbow]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX 3.png|Badge]], others don't appear to be made based on anything, and may have only been made for the sake of aesthetics much like real-life embroidered 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 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 / 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'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. | |||
