Eh, sorry if I said the same thing, normally in threads like this, I don't read anybody's posts, so I can ignore accidently copying someone's ideas.
Nah, it's alright. i was just glad someone was thinking practically about it rather than surmising from their imagination. Anima is nice and all that, and a spell is really mystical, but it just doesn't seem practical, even in the pokemon world. i was agreeing with you. It's a poll, there is going to be repeated opinions. :D

I could understand Anima if the Pokemon Gym Leaders had...some sort of powers, like Sabrina with her Psychic abilties. But even than, it wouldn't make sense, because once you get to Johto...they have all those strange badges, ya know?

It seems most likely metal. Why make it out of stone and then make it look like steel, when it's so much easier jsut to make it out of steel in the first place?

Heh, I always figured they'd be made out of a mixture of plastic and glass, which would be cost-effective and also account for the badges' lustre...but making them out of laquer-coated metal does sound plausible.

I always figured the whole "this badge increases your pokemon's stats/makes traded pokemon obey you" thing was just a quirk of the games...if you wanted to apply that to an anime/fanfiction scenario, I'd say the badges are symbolic of the growing relationship between the trainer and pokemon...or maybe it just makes the pokemon go "wow, she's tough, maybe I'll refrain from biting her in the kneecaps..." *shrugs*

I still think there stones, of some sort, but i always imagine water ones to be shells of some sort, and Fire ones could be fire embers, or coal lol!

Funny thread!
