In Barry's Busting Out All Over!, Barry was shown to have three badges. While the Forest Badge and the Mine Badge are no different, Barry has a third badge that is different from the eight Sinnoh badges. In Fighting Ire with Fire!, Barry was revealed to have obtained eight badges already, two more of which are different. This means that there are at least 11 Gyms in Sinnoh. The same unknown red badge that Barry owns is shown at the end of An Old Family Blend!.

It is shaped like a heart, with two sides closing in, possibly in reference to how Tate and Liza are twins.

Gary acquired more than the standard eight Kanto League badges, thus leading to confusion as to whether or not there is a fixed number of badges that can be given out in a particular region. By The Battle of the Badge, he is shown to have at least ten badges, only three of which correspond to known Kanto badges, suggesting there are at least fifteen Gyms in Kanto. Incidentally, this would provide one Gym for each of the 15 types at the time.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, it is instead written is lowercase as "badge" or title-case as "Gym Badge". Some examples: 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: Many fellow Trainers that Ash has encountered have been shown to have badges that do not exist in the games, such as Gary earning ten badges in Kanto, indicating that there are more than eight Gyms in each region. 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.

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 embroidered patch than the pinned badge they are portrayed as in the anime and subsequent game entries. While some of these patches do resemble badges seen in the final game like the Cascade Badge, the Volcano Badge or even the Rainbow 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 " Leaf Badge" or Silver's " Artsy Badge". In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the player cannot catch wild Pokémon above a certain level without appropriate badges.

Medical prescriptions are free in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. They are also free for people in England who meet certain criteria, including people who are: Naturally, people who were affected by the disaster and others who simply want to show support and solidarity have been asking where to get hold of such badges. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player can receive an unofficial badge known as the Surge Badge by defeating the leader of the Kantonian Gym in Malie City. Although it is purely a novelty item and serves no practical purpose, its design and Japanese name are direct references to the Thunder Badge, while its English name is also a reference to Lt. Surge.

Income-related ESA is due to be replaced by Universal Credit across the UK. If you live in an area where ESA is still available, you’ll need to complete a Work Capability Assessment as part of the application process. Cost of living support Unlike in previous games, where badges can only be obtained through defeating Gym Leaders, badges in Paldea can be obtained by progressing through the three storylines in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. There are a total of 18 badges to collect: eight Gym Badges from the Victory Road storyline (which involves defeating Gym Leaders as in previous games), five Star Badges from the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline (which involves defeating Team Star Bosses), and five Titan Badges (which involves defeating Titan Pokémon) from the Path of Legends storyline. Only the Gym Badges are officially recognized by the Paldea League; the Star Badges were crafted by the leaders of each of Team Star's five squads as symbols of authority within the group, and the Titan Badges were crafted by Arven to commemorate the defeat of the five Titans of Paldea. 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: The green heart symbol is something that has been used as a sign of solidarity and condolence in the aftermath of the tragic 2017 fire at Grenfell Tower that saw 72 people lose their lives and hundreds more left homeless.

Additionally, badges are not the only way to enter the Indigo Plateau Conference. Pokémon Tech, a 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.In Ash's dream in Malice in Wonderland, Ash has many badges that haven't been on-screen before, as well as some older badges. Considering it was only a dream, it is possible that some of the badges seen don't exist at all. In the Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue computer programs, the Soul and Marsh Badges' names are reversed, with the pink heart-shaped badge being the Marsh Badge and the yellow circular badge being the Soul Badge. Several anime and game handbooks also make this same switch. It is possible that there was an initial error in naming the badges in Pokémon Red and Blue. A soul would be more attuned to psychic abilities and one finds poisonous gases in a marsh. However, no official confirmation has ever been given. It is shaped like a tall volcano or mountain, in reference to the mountainous Poni Island where Hapu comes from.

Several unknown badges can be seen at the beginning of 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:
