Badges
A Badge is not just a thing you can have, in fact Badges are a set of MANY things you can have
To obtain them, one must travel across the land, searching far and wide
to understand the power that's inside each badge, you must collect or "catch" 'em all.
They are mostly found in video games to varying effects but some Badges can be found in nature, expressions, and words
Pocket Badges
An Iconic set of badges, they come in sets of 8. found across many regions of the world. Their main purpose is to signify overcoming a certain obstacles...in the form of Adults paid to beat up 10 to 16 Year Olds, who also pay those 10 to 16 year olds when they get beat up. It's quite a sustainable cycle. These Badges are very useful for entering tournaments that range from 5, to 500 people. They Also help your pets listen to you, these pets are actually even more collectible than Badges, but they are not in fact things...for the most part, some of them are in fact living things, as opposed to the other ones that are living things. Try not to get confused.
Paper Badges
Paper Badges are Badges made of Paper, or not made of Paper and it's all a Metaphorical Art-Style and they become extinct by the time it's literal paper, it all depends on your perspective. Badges can be used to gain many special different abilities, mostly to raise your stats, what are stats? not badges, but these Badges cost stats, that's their downside, focus your leveling on badges and you wont have as many hearts or flowers, but on the Flipside, there are no badges there, but afterwards there are stickers. Badges can be bought by using pieces of giant hot gas balls in the middle if planetary systems, that also happen to grant wishes, or be made of minerals and be the subject of a treasure hunt
Arcade Badges
These Badges have no real effect, but they'll cost you the most. Arcade Badges are very Aesthetically pleasing badges that'll decorate any menu with joy and wonder. They can be obtained with the elegant art of Tiny-Purchasing, or with Free Plays, in order to use a crane game to collect said badges, like all Crane games, these are completely fair and unrigged whatsoever, they're also becoming extinct too very soon. Badges are very resilient, they can be in point blank range of an explosion and still come out unharmed, as such this is another crane game method of obtaining them, unlike most badges which are very abstract, all Arcade Badges are based on pre-existing properties of Japanese Video Game companies, they are mostly distributed and guarded by the rare and elusive Pink Rabbit
Badge-ers
Do Not be confused, while Badgers look and sound related, they are definitely not things, if they were things, they would not be recommended to collect, for they are very. very tough. They are also known to ask argumentative questions in court to lead the witness towards a specific answer, This is not cosidered an upside
Badge of Honor
Badges of Honor are entirely nonsensical and insulting to the concept of badges, they can be anything, you can wear anything as a badge of honor, you can wear your work as a badge of honor but I wouldn't start pinning office buildings to my T-Shirt if I were you, nor would you wear your family
