+A '''Badge''', '''badge''' (Japanese: '''バッジ''' ''Badge''), or '''Gym Badge''' is an item that serves as proof of a [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s victory in a battle against a [[Gym Leader]].
 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]], this is consistently either written as lowercase '''badge''' or title-case '''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'''!"''
+* ''"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!"''
+* ''"[[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)
