Do you actually take time to clean your badges?

[pokechamp116]

In the newer games, you can polish your gym badges. does anyone actually take the time to clean those things? I only do on special occasions when I'm trying to show off.

I agree, I only do it at those times too. It's a cute feature but that's about it.

Younger kids would love it though. It brings them closer to the anime, you know, whenever Ash would take the time out of his training scheduale just to polish them?

 

[Sleet]

I do occasionally. I hate to see them get dirty, but at the same time, it's kind of pointless, so I'm at a strange conflict of interests.

 

[Cybersai]

I think I did it once.

 

[ShinyFlareon]

^_^ I like hearing the notes make an octave. I'm a music nerd like that. So yeah, I polish them.

 

[Rice]

I do it all the time. Its one of my in-game obsessions.

 

[Joey]

I do it whenever I look at my trainer card, which isn't too often. But I've been known to borrow my friends' versions and shine their badges when they're not looking though.

 

[The Outrage]

Only during the playthrough.

One has to wonder how they get so dirty in a sealed case.

 

[Nicoleta01]

I do on occasion, I won't let them get too dirty so it's a mini-habitat I have every now and then. XD

 

[SnorlaxMonster]

Only if I open my Badge case (which is very rarely) and even then, not always.

 

[Iteru]

Never do. Might as well of put lumps of coal in their place.

 

[mineowyn]

Wait, taping on them is polishing them? I thought it was used to play musical numbers...

 

[Luxio2k8]

I do it every now and then. Because I hate to see them be all dirty and grimy.

 

[cascade88]

I never knew I could do it. >.> Now I probably will.

 

[Hyasynth]

I'm a freak for cleanliness, so I clean them whenever they're dirty enough.

 

[Pidgeot]

Oh crap! I need to clean them NOW.

 

[AJW12777]

Nah, I don't.....

 

[Satochu]

Only during the playthrough.

That's a intersting point. How do they get dirty?

I would understand it if the player was constantly showing them off or something...

 

[Nekusagi]

Rust.

Surfing, walking/biking through rainy areas I imagine would get the badge case exposed to moisture. I get the impression the badge cases aren't quite airtight.

Yeah, well have you ever deliberately left the Cobble, Mine and Icicle badges partially unpolished so it made a minor scale? If you haven't, I win. :3
