Quite honestly, I don't really like the slim, compact design of the badges... It's just too different. :c Something that should of stayed the same.
They really aren't badges anymore, more like pins. D;

But if I did have to pick a favorite, it would be the Icicle badge! It looks like an awesome sacred sword of some sort! :D

And I just noticed, shouldn't the first badge have Red, Green, and blue coloring, since it covers all of the three primary types?

I also think they are too skinny...
I like the Trio badge the best out of them all followed by the Quake badge, they are just colorful and lively compared to the others :)
the last badge sort of reminds me of one of Xemnas joke weapons in KH Days due to it's basic outline...

I like how the bolt is part orange and yellow the colors of Raichu and Pikachu who ironically have a thunder bolt shaped tail :)

Agreeing with the others. Really skinny. D:

I love the Bolt badge though - because the other ones are coloured strangely or just have unusual designs, whereas the Bolt badge is simple and easy to understand the meaning of. Try showing the other badges to people and let them work out what gyms the badges represents, it's... almost impossible imo. :x

I can proably tell the 4,5,6,and 7th badges but the other half of them aren't too easy to figure out unlike like back in the day with Kanto, or Johto's badges which were obvious.

The Jet badge also kind of reminds me of Jet exhaust if you look at it upside down or with your head tilted.

These are my three fave badges ever.
Seriously, the new design really kind of represent blending new graphics with old ideas
(route 1 reset)I mean, the whole "8 gates for the 8 badges"Is a little over the top, but Come on!They're cool.
MY PRIZED POKEMON:
FERALIGATR LV. 55
DRAGON CLAW| SURF|SUPERPOWER|HYDRO PUMP|
And yeah, my friend hacked it. His DS got drenched in Orange Juice and he cant use it anymore.I put my Feraligatr up here to share the memory of my friends R4 and his SS that he's not really ever going to get a Chance to use again.EDIT: Oh wait, it started working again :P.
SUICUNE LV.30
EXTREMESPEED|AIR SLASH|AQUA RING|SHEER COLD|
My first ever event pokemon. I screamed like a little girl when I went on the Mystery Gift and actually got results.
OH MY GAWD *HYPERVENTILATION*
pretty much explains how I felt. I know a bunch of people that have better Events than me like the Lv. 100 Arceus or Celebi etc.
but it's still my first event and it has a special place in my heart.

Me, me too :( I liked the Sinnoh and Hoenn bulgeness... Johto's were too round and plain...
Though the thinness is good for the first two badges but it affects the rest's designs...

Im loving the trio, jet, and legend badges. Unova is quite unique. Their badges proves it :D
I like those badges too as well as the Bolt Badge. They represent their types well.

O.M.G How I love this badge <3 <3 <3 It is a beauty, a masterpiece and has the most awesome, majestic design, with a splendid colour combination and a suited, creative name. lol big words XD

As for the others, I don't like the new oblong rectangular desgn :/ I liked the free ranging designs every other region had. But the legend badge's design make it look different from the others, probably because of it's free ranging look.

Rant time.

Jet badge has an awful God forsaken colour combo, basic badge lives up to it's name unfortunately, very unappealing, Beetle badge is just.... bad colouring, bad shaping, bad name, quake badge has nothing appealing and looks broken, Icicle badge, curse it's name forever, has the same name as Candice's more awesome coloured Icicle badge (colours suit the type).

The first badge is okay.... a circle shaping would have made it prettier and more suited for the three colour combo, Bolt badge is really good though so I like it. Nice shape, colours and name.

Sooo all in all I only like Bolt and Legend badge. I would have liked Icicle badge if it had appropriate colours and if it didn't steal Candice's badge name. Icicle was already taken so, shame on that badge >:(

Hmm...
I honestly like them all.
But in particular, I enjoy the Trio Badge and Unova's Icicle Badge.
The Trio Badge has the JUST RIGHT amount of color for my taste and an otherwise simplistic design.
The (Unova) Icicle Badge's design just kicks butt. Granted, it doesn't really represent the type very well, but IT LOOKS AWESOME.
It's so awesome, my ears are bleeding.

However, the skinny design brought up by a few people already kind of trick my terrible eyes and I squint whenever I look at them. Maybe if they were a LITTLE thicker, they'd be absolutely perfect.
