I clean my badges from time to time. But it's more fun to clean them in D/P/Pt because the Sinnoh badges make a distinct sound (do re mi fa so la ti do) while the Unova badges make the same sound when tapped.
Like the last one, these types of threads discussing shining badges belongs in Pokemon Gaming Central, 'cause it's a feature within DPPT as well as B/W.
I used to be obsessed with keeping my badges shiny when DP first came out but I stopped doing it as much in platinum. I didn't even know it could be done in BW until a few days ago so I've only done it once this generation.
Wow, I never knew that you could shine your badges before. I thought I'd give it a go their now on my Pokemon White game and yeah they're shiny now. Pretty cool. It's something I wouldn't do often though.
I do it sometimes, I don't think "zomg, my badges need to be cleaned!;;" Usually when I'm bored or when I'm looking at my trainer card for my Id or something, I'll see them.
