The type strengthened matches the type theme of the Gym (for example, Zephyr Badge boosts the Flying type) despite the Viridian Gym no longer having a type theme in Generation II, the Earth Badge boosts Ground-type moves. In Generation II, every Badge boosts the power of the moves of a certain type by 12.5% (1/8), despite never being referenced in the games. Note that in Generation I, the game states that the Thunder Badge raises Speed and the Soul Badge raises Defense, but these are not the actual effects caused. In Generation II, if the attack is a critical hit and the attacker's used offensive stat stage is less than or equal to the opponent's defensive stat stage, all Badge boosts are ignored. In Generation I, this boost is reapplied whenever the player's Pokémon's stats are raised or lowered, allowing boosts to be stacked (this stacking effect is lost if the Pokémon levels up). This boost does not exist from Generation IV onward. In Generations I and II, the stat or stats are increased by 12.5% in Generation III, the stat or stats are increased by 10%. This boost is applied only in internal battles, not link battles. In Generations I-III, some Badges boost a certain stat or stats of the player's Pokémon. The latter Badge's resemblance to the Cascade Badge was most likely a coincidence, given it is a stylized drop of water. However, given the nature of this illustration (the designs were made specifically for this cover and weren't intended to be used in the franchise ), it is likely that these designs were chosen randomly. Other instances of embroidered "Badges" can be seen in the cover art for the Games That Stand Out Collection magazine, with the male Trainer's rock or diamond badge and the female Trainer's teardrop badge, which shares a resemblance to the Cascade Badge.
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". 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. A selection of familiar and unfamiliar Badges can be seen in early character artwork by Ken Sugimori.
