'''Gym Badges''' (''バッジ Gym Badges'') are collected throughout all the [[regions]] in all of the main series [[Pokémon]] games and also in the [[Pokémon Anime]]. Badges are obtained usually by defeating the holder of the badge in a [[Pokémon]] battle, a [[Gym Leader]]. In the game series, there are a total of 8 badges per region (game). However, in the anime it has been noted that there are many other [[Gym]]s where badges can be obtained. In order to compete in the [[Pokémon League]], Pokémon Trainers must collect a total of 8 Gym Badges in their respective region.
  +
  +
Some '''Gym Badges''' have the ability to affect a [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]]'s behavior, making them obedient up to certain levels, though this is only in [[Generation]]s previous to [[Generation IV|IV]]. Also, certain badges will allow for a specified [[HM]] to be used outside of battle. Additionally, in the [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]] games, having more badges affects the amount of items that [[Poké Mart]]s will have.
  +
  +

===Sinnoh League===
  +
The [[Sinnoh]] [[Pokémon League]] is the local Pokémon league in [[Sinnoh]]. A total of eight badges must be obtained to challenge the local [[Elite Four]] (game), or participate in the League (anime).
  +
  +
In the [[Generation IV]] games, there have been some changes as to how the badges operate. For instance, badges no longer affect the stats of the player's [[Pokémon]], as they are not mentioned to do so. Also, the badges themselves are no longer the factor in the obedience of [[Pokémon]], rather it is the amount of badges the player owns. Additionally, the amount of badges also affects the available items at [[Poké Mart]]s.
  +
  +
'''Obedience of Pokémon:'''
  +
  +
*2 Badges - Obedient up to [[level]] 30
  +
*4 Badges - Obedient up to [[level]] 50
  +
*6 Badges - Obedient up to [[level]] 70
  +
*8 Badges - All Pokémon are obedient.
  +
  +
A new addition to the [[Generation IV]] games, players can shine the badges that they have earned, and show them off in the union room. However, if the badges are neglected they will become dull and dusty.
  +
  +
The following are badges from the [[Sinnoh]] region.

===Unova League===
  +
The [[Isshu|Unova]] [[Pokémon League]] is the local Pokémon league in Unova. A total of eight badges must be obtained to challenge the local [[Elite Four]] (game), or participate in the League (anime).
  +
  +
Similar to [[Generation IV]], all [[Generation V]] games, badges no longer affect the stats of the player's [[Pokémon]], as they are not mentioned to do so. Also, the badges themselves are no longer the factor in the obedience of [[Pokémon]], rather it is the amount of badges the player owns. Additionally, the amount of badges also affects the available items at [[Poké Mart]]s. Players can shine the badges that they have earned, and show them off in the union room. However, if the badges are neglected they will become dull and dusty.
  +
  +
'''Obedience of Pokémon:'''
  +
  +
*1 Badges - Obedient up to [[level]] 20;
  +
*2 Badges - Obedient up to [[level]] 30;
  +
*3 Badges - Obedient up to [[level]] 40;
  +
*4 Badges - Obedient up to [[level]] 50;
  +
*5 Badges - Obedient up to [[level]] 60;
  +
*6 Badges - Obedient up to [[level]] 70;
  +
*7 Badges - Obedient up to [[level]] 80;
  +
*8 Badges - All Pokémon are obedient.
  +
  +

Revision as of 21:41, November 22, 2012

Gym Badges (バッジ Gym Badges) are collected throughout all the regions in all of the main series Pokémon games and also in the Pokémon Anime. Badges are obtained usually by defeating the holder of the badge in a Pokémon battle, a Gym Leader. In the game series, there are a total of 8 badges per region (game). However, in the anime it has been noted that there are many other Gyms where badges can be obtained. In order to compete in the Pokémon League, Pokémon Trainers must collect a total of 8 Gym Badges in their respective region.

Some Gym Badges have the ability to affect a Pokémon's behavior, making them obedient up to certain levels, though this is only in Generations previous to IV. Also, certain badges will allow for a specified HM to be used outside of battle. Additionally, in the Generation IV and Generation V games, having more badges affects the amount of items that Poké Marts will have.

Sinnoh League

The Sinnoh Pokémon League is the local Pokémon league in Sinnoh. A total of eight badges must be obtained to challenge the local Elite Four (game), or participate in the League (anime).

In the Generation IV games, there have been some changes as to how the badges operate. For instance, badges no longer affect the stats of the player's Pokémon, as they are not mentioned to do so. Also, the badges themselves are no longer the factor in the obedience of Pokémon, rather it is the amount of badges the player owns. Additionally, the amount of badges also affects the available items at Poké Marts.

Obedience of Pokémon:

  • 2 Badges - Obedient up to level 30
  • 4 Badges - Obedient up to level 50
  • 6 Badges - Obedient up to level 70
  • 8 Badges - All Pokémon are obedient.

A new addition to the Generation IV games, players can shine the badges that they have earned, and show them off in the union room. However, if the badges are neglected they will become dull and dusty.

The following are badges from the Sinnoh region.
