Do you clean your badges?
 
I was just wondering if there are any of you people who have the interest of cleaning Gym badges to make them shiny. I only do it like once a month or when im waiting for something

luf100 April 7th, 2010 8:22 PM

I just figured out you could do this like two days ago. I was sort of fascinated by it, so I do it a lot now. xD

MegaSlowBro. April 7th, 2010 8:24 PM

I usually just do it when I'm bored, or when there's nothing to do =p although sometimes I turn off the volume because the sound is annoying

`Espeon April 7th, 2010 8:49 PM

I clean my badges when I feel like it, or if I'm showing off my trainer card to people in the Union Room.

Lieutenant Unstable April 7th, 2010 10:34 PM

OMG THATS WHY THEY AREN'T SHINY ANYMORE?!! *falls over*

I feel like a total n00b right now. I was just looking at my badges earlier and freaking out cos I thought they'd been stolen or something. >_> *hides*

*goes to clean them*

Serris April 7th, 2010 11:34 PM

I know I clean mine. Just because my gold card looks better with them clean XD I think they'd always be clean if I could just get the black card.

curiousnathan April 7th, 2010 11:48 PM

Yeah I do it all of the time, mostly because I am bored. Since I have beaten all of the game and plus I cannot be bothered completing the national'dex in my Diamond game.

Sam_Sam April 8th, 2010 1:54 AM

When i just got the game = ya ; now = nope

Hey, you know how to get the black card? I'm still stuck on Gold

Go to your trainer card and there will be the badges you won previously.
Use your finger and rubb the touch screen as if you were rubbing in real life and eventually they turn shiny. If you don't clean them after a while, they will start
to turn greyish

ok can you do that on HG/SS as well

Glaciezxstar April 8th, 2010 5:50 AM

I do this sometimes XD
But then, its kinda hard ( for a lazy person like me ) to rub the dust off completely D:
and, I always categorize which badges should I clean first , I'm such a weird person XD

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ April 8th, 2010 9:02 AM

Only when I'm bored. It's kinda annoying that they get dirty so often in the first place. If they're in a CASE, why are they getting dirty?

HaloSonic April 8th, 2010 9:19 AM

when i had the game, i used to, but not that often.

Rue's Lullaby April 8th, 2010 10:25 AM

I clean my badges but not that often... I love the way you can play a little tune with them.

Moltres111 April 8th, 2010 10:44 AM

Haha, no, never now. I used to do it a LOT on my Diamond ROM and I did it for a little while on my Platinum cart, but I stopped doing it a few months ago because I felt it was a waste of time. I never look at them anyway.

I enter my trainer card, check my amount of money, and exit it.
I haven't looked at my badges in like, 2 months? xD

btw:

No, because the badges are on the upper screen in HG/SS.

ILoveDragonite April 8th, 2010 11:24 AM

I've never even looked at my badges.....they must be pretty freaking dirty.

Izzy_ April 8th, 2010 11:32 AM

I used to do it all the time but now I do it every once in a while

michele April 8th, 2010 11:37 AM

i never used to clean them, but now i check/clean them all the time.

Misheard Whisper April 8th, 2010 12:14 PM

I only do it when I remember to. I only ever look at my Trainer card to see how much money I have - I rarely open the badge case.

*glances around suspiciously*

*goes to clean badges*

In D/P/Pt you need to defeat 100 trainers in a row in the Battle Tower.

I clean my badges all the time, and if I'm really bored I play things like Mary Had a Little Lamb with them.

Silver April 8th, 2010 12:21 PM

All the time when I'm bored in diamond, or if I end up needing to check my trainer card for some reason.

akamichi April 8th, 2010 1:31 PM

mmmm well if there dirty of course ill clean them I always try to keep my badges clean.

Agent Clank April 8th, 2010 1:31 PM

I Dont Clean Them Alot Just When I Am Waiting for Somthing or When I See That There Dirty.

MsHailstorm April 8th, 2010 1:32 PM

I do occasionally, but not very often.
Usually I only clean them when I look at my trainer card and notice they're dirty again, lol.

Aaron40 April 8th, 2010 2:24 PM

ok thanks for your help mate

msdmario April 8th, 2010 3:23 PM

I stopped cleaning my badges because it becomes such a chore after awhile. I don't even look at my Trainer Card anymore even when I used to play Platinum regularly so my badges have been dirty for a long time and they will stay that way.

Lt_Nite April 8th, 2010 5:51 PM

From time to time but not often it's just a hassle and just boring to sit there and rub them for 40 years.

BHwolfgang April 8th, 2010 5:54 PM

No, it's been dirty ever since I recieved the badge. I have EV training better things to do than shine my badge.

That, or it could possibly because of Gardenia using Grass Knot on me.... Everything just flew out of my pocket, and landed on the dirt. ;;

shroud April 8th, 2010 7:52 PM

I for one do not usually clean them. I don't see them everytime I play so there is no need for me to clean them. :/

.Fenris April 8th, 2010 8:01 PM

Whenever I open the case to look at them, I'll clean them.

reyzn April 8th, 2010 8:24 PM

Only when I remember :), which is usually never.

Eryes April 9th, 2010 9:19 PM

Only when I'm bored, which is often.

Enigma April 9th, 2010 9:27 PM

Of course, until they are sparkly clean. :pink_laugh:

XoX I Write Sins XoX April 10th, 2010 12:16 AM

Not Normally, Unless I'm Bored Out Of My Mind Or I'm Gonna Show Them To My Mates To Show Off =P

zerwey April 10th, 2010 11:07 AM

When I'm bored I'll look at my badges and just clean them for fun.....it's not exactly a record-breaking hobby. "Least Amount of Time to Shine All 8 Badges!"

Kirkland April 10th, 2010 11:10 AM

Never. I'd be ashamed to show the case to anyone if it was real life, I guess I don't get anything for cleaning them so I never bothered. XD

Raichu1988 April 10th, 2010 2:33 PM

Eh, only when I'm bored. I didn't even know you could clean them until a few days ago but it's not a big deal anyway. *shrug*

.hack April 10th, 2010 2:37 PM

Trainer card appearance FTW.
I clean 'em whenever they're dusty =3

Zeturic April 10th, 2010 2:57 PM

It's fun to play songs on the badges, and the four levels of dirt lowers the pitch, which makes more options.

Aero Blitz April 10th, 2010 3:52 PM

I only did it once when I found out your could do that, haven't cleaned them since, I hardly even look at my trainer card anymore in Platinum.

EmeraldSerenade April 10th, 2010 4:13 PM

Nope. im way to lazy to sit there and just clean them... i like the sound they make though xD

Aquerex April 10th, 2010 4:28 PM

Yes, mainly because I like to play music on the badges, and they have to be looking professional for everyone. :)

Storm_has_formed April 11th, 2010 6:27 AM

I just found out from reading this thread, and now i do after every gym battle(6 badges)

Envoirment April 11th, 2010 6:59 AM

I do sometimes. But now I'm hooked to soulsilver I don't need to clean anything hehe :) Except maybe my DS from time to time :P

Bluerang1 April 11th, 2010 2:09 PM

If I have the time, I likE making them nice, clean and shiny ;D

Clefairies April 11th, 2010 2:16 PM

When I did play Pearl, I used to clean them every so often, as it used to irk me knowing they was collecting dust. =/
But i'm a bit of a weirdo so yeah XD

Alyssachu April 11th, 2010 3:49 PM

Wait... one can 'shine' their badges?

...

head/desk

LOL God, I need to catch up on this stuff. I'm such a n00b. -.-U


EDIT: Oh God, I just checked them, and they're dull as hell. XDD

Metagold™ April 12th, 2010 6:32 PM

I do, since I'm a bit OCD about those kinds of things.

Can't have dirty badges.

TheAppleFreak April 12th, 2010 6:39 PM

Every once and a while, I clean my badges. Don't do it much anymore, especially with HeartGold taking over as my primary game.

Kudo April 12th, 2010 6:47 PM

No, I don't shine my badges actually

...they can rust away for all I care.

Kiger Mustang April 12th, 2010 7:26 PM

I do when I'm bored, otherwise no.


Eurydice April 12th, 2010 7:50 PM

*feels smart* i didnt know you could clean them. i bet they are really dirty, at least a couple of years of dirt. *runs to clean badges*

Neuca April 13th, 2010 2:30 AM

I clean them everyday... o.o
Even though they only go down to 2 sparkles a day, I want to keep them at full shine everyday! Probably what makes me strange...

The Cynic April 13th, 2010 6:23 AM

Of course! It's important to keep your badges sparkling and sheen. Then I play "Ode To Joy" on them.

empty streets April 13th, 2010 7:52 AM

I didn't even know that you can do this xD

xPsychosocial April 13th, 2010 10:25 AM

I used to but I stopped doing it. They're probably really dirty but meh...

Raiskit April 13th, 2010 10:30 AM

Cleaning the badges is fun at first, but once I get to the third one I'm usually tired of it. So sometimes I clean the badges~

RivalGator April 13th, 2010 10:41 AM

I used to clean them regularly, but I don't now. I mean, they aren't in my HG/SS game, so I have no need to worry about them, let alone even be looking at them. xD

I used to though. I used to worry over it when I first played the game, but I think my badges are really, really filthy now because it's been months since I've cared to clean them.

Pokehead April 13th, 2010 9:10 PM

I clean them so I can play "Breaking the Law". Funny stuff.

salot April 15th, 2010 8:19 AM

hah no but i can play in badges cause they are notes wind of change of scorpions it is fun some times :P

Poké-Master April 15th, 2010 1:40 PM

sometimes
 
haha I do sometimes I love the squeeking sound of it :L

Blazaking April 16th, 2010 9:15 AM

Eh, not much. I hardly play Platinum at all anymore, so I usually don't clean them...

Poke-dude April 16th, 2010 8:54 PM

I used to clean them so I could play hot cross buns xD but then I got soul silver and I just stopped playing pearl all together

JohtoNewsService April 17th, 2010 7:16 AM

nope i dont clean them : P
why would you ?

The Doctor April 17th, 2010 7:17 AM

I used to clean then came along HG SS, i dont even use my P/Pt saves now unless ist for trading.

Charizard632 April 17th, 2010 10:00 AM

Yes, but I rarely clean my badges.

AliceBlaze April 17th, 2010 10:48 AM

I clean my badges occasionally. I like how you can play music on them. I taught myself to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. :D

jvpski3 April 17th, 2010 3:30 PM

I was just wondering if there are any of you people who have the interest of cleaning Gym badges to make them shiny. I only do it like once a month or when i'm waiting for something. Heck!

wee187 April 17th, 2010 3:40 PM

I clean[ed] them all the time when I played Platinum. XD Now that I've moved onto HeartGold, it's not there to clean anymore really, so I don't~

pidge14 April 18th, 2010 7:52 AM

haha nah mine get to be pretty sorry. oddly enough i do like to polish my friend's badges tho. we switch ds's to check out the other's boxes so while i'm waiting i'll polish them and play a song.

Buzimu April 18th, 2010 10:09 AM

Jack Kentnon April 25th, 2010 10:08 PM

IF, I ever look at my trainer card, then I shine my badges. I used to all the time, though.

Zylasn April 27th, 2010 3:32 PM

I made a habit out of doing it for awhile, then got a little lazy about cleaning my badges. I bet they're dirty right now and need a good clean wiping!

Jin-Roh April 28th, 2010 6:29 AM

i like the many ways boredom is improbable if you really look into it.
