Do you shine your badges?

[hurristat]

If I'm incredibly bored and happen to open my trainer case, I do. Otherwise, pbbffft.

 

[Cyber Jet]

No, I never shined my badges.

 

[Dodger Jazz]

I shine my badges once every couple weeks or so.

 

[Winterdaze]

Of course! Otherwise all the notes will be off when you try to do covers of Queen songs on your badgelophone.

 

[Kyuuketsuki]

Always, because just knowing they might be dirty annoy me.

 

[Faye Scarlet]

Maybe not ALL the time, but at least twice I week I clean those suckers up. o3o

 

[proserpina]

I do it whenever I see them. I'd be lying if I said I'm not a bit of a cleanliness/tidiness control freak in real life sometimes and every so often that spills over onto my in-game possessions, too. >___>

 

[The Knights of Wario Land]

No, because I'm afraid I'm going to break my touch screen with how many times you have to rub them.

 

[Torterra Trainer]

I remember in Platinum, I was really proud of my badges I had obtained so I viewed them as something to hold sacred. However, when you have more pressing matters to attend to, shining your badges does fall on the list of priority actions. But I still do it for fun.

 

[Super Seaking]

Even when I do play Pearl or Platinum, Im too lazy to ever shine the badges. I hate how they get dusty if you dont shine them. Kinda an annoying feature, IMO.

 

[Gato]

When I remember. It's really satisfying. You see the dull, non-shined ones, and when you're done, they just look so nice! Can you shine them in Gen V? I guess it's safe to assume you can, but I've never really tried...

 

[jda95]

Yep, Gen V brought badge shining back. The more you shine it, the brighter the Gym Leader's portrait gets.

 

[Insanish Danish]

Sometimes, but I mostly forget to do it. It's fun, though.

 

[Phantom Kat]

You can play music on them? WHAT IS I DON'T EVEN... *goes to grab DS immediately*

But yeah, I polish them. It gives me something to do instead of tediously leveling up my Pokemon for the Elite 4 or th next Gym fight. I like shiny things in real life, and would probably do it daily if badges were real. The good thing about pixel badges is that they don't get scratched. If one had a scratch, I think I would cry.

Seriously.

[Extra-Terrestrial]

Yep, I shine them up, both in Gen IV and V, however D/P/Pt was much more fun when shining them up. That music was so freaking cool. However I still do it for the fun in White.

 

[Arc Blader]

I do it all the time. I really don't know why; only in Pearl did it provide any sort of reward (the badges would emit higher tones when struck after being polished), but I do it anyway in Black.

 

[Tyson]

I don't because it makes my hand tired when I shine them

 

[Ghost]

I shine mine occasionally; about twice a month. Generally, I don't go out of my way to do so, and will only do it when I happen to look at the trainer card.

 

[turtlekid]

I love it! I do it and have fun playing all kinds of songs on it. At first i thought it was some secxret and if you got them all to sparkle something would happen.

 

[Moonlight Umbreon]

I do it constantly, and sometimes I leave the badges all dirty just to clean them later. I HATE the sound it makes, but I love shiny things...
