Gym Badges

**Gym Badges** are essential items collected throughout all the regions. Badges are obtained by defeating a Gym Leader in a series of battles.

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.

## Creation

During the start of the Pokémon League, there were no Gyms to test the strength of the Trainers, which meant that anyone can enter the League and participate. It is said that a man names Johnson, who is the founder of the Blaze Gym, was the one who started the idea of places to allow Trainers to test their strength amongst very powerfull Trainers and gain experience. Therefore, Gyms were created and for each town and each type, there exists a Gym.

To show that this Trainer has been to the Gym and was able to defeat the Gym Leader, badges were created to be given to the Trainers and store them in their bags, badge case or anything. Each Gym has its own unique badge.
