    what is your favorite badge?
    also! to address the omission of the marsh badge, that badge is a weird case of not being able to think of a way to realistically constructively add to it because its such an enigma as is, to the point where i cant even place what it is other than the obvious. the marsh badge is also an odd name considering the theme, and you'll notice that i didnt change the names of anyone (until the very very end), and just focused on design. im curious to hear your ideas, though!

      Honestly I think the Marsh badge should of been a crystal ball sitting on top of a red pillow or whatever. it definitely makes the type of the badge more clear and less dull and also every time I see the Marsh badge it just screams normal type.

    Another fun fact about the Earth Badge is that in Japan, it's simply called the Green Badge. Now, all the Kanto badges are just Color + Badge in Japan, but what I want to draw attention to is the person who gives out the badge in Generation 2. In English, we know this character as "Blue" but in Japan, his name is "Green"! Pretty cute that Green ends up handing you the Green Badge.

    • @WhimsicottFanatic
      @WhimsicottFanatic 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +54

      To provide a preemptive explanation about the whole "Blue/Green" discrepancy for anyone who may be wondering:
      The very first versions of Gen1 that were released were Red and _Green_ in Japan, and totally mind-blowing revelation that nobody would ever expect: The Kanto protag and rival are literally just named after each game
      Blue would then later release there as a light revision, and the western Red and Blue were then modeled after that version when it came time to let the series loose out of Japan
      This is also why the Gen1 remakes are Fire Red and Leaf Green, instead of Fire Red and Water Blue

      @@WhimsicottFanatic That makes a lot of sense. Although, for the Kanto remakes, I'm pretty sure a lot of players would have wanted to go the route of blue because they thought Blastoise looks cooler than Venusaur. But, I mean, come on. Most Pokemon players are just kids, even though plenty of grownups who grew up with Pokemon still play the games, especially in competitive.

      @@toxiquidto fit with the 3d theme, you could have added more sparkly stars to it to fit a more galaxy esque theme. Maybe even add holes like a real constellation has, as constellations does have some holes in the whirlwind of stars. Either that, or you could move the ball slightly down to give it a more “crystal ball” feel while still having the galaxy look
      as for the original design: add a backplate, make the smoke thicker and more magenta/ dark pink with either purple or pink highlights, and actually connect it to the orb on the bottom. Add some sparkles to the smoke to emphasize the 3d effect while giving the smoke a more magical feel rather than poisonous or choking; and or add the sparkles INSIDE the orb to work better as a PSYCHIC badge, rather than a smoke ball like it does now.
      You could also personalize the backplates of the badges, to fit more among the other badges the rest of the series has.
      The psychic one could be more of a smoky glass swirl, making the rest of the badge pop out more and giving a more hypnotic feel.
      The backplate of the fairy badge could be a traditional 4 segmented butterfly with heavy emphasis on sparkles and glitter to showcase how cute it is.
      The original electric badge should be heavy on the metallic accents with a cold steel back, feeling like something taken off an invention, with bolts keeping it together.
      The new electric one doesn't need a backplate, but if it needed one also could have a more “inventor”-y feel. Though with the lightbulb design, I can't really think of anything. Maybe a spiky circle to emphasize the light coming out, with a smooth white back like it's repelling the darkness? Give it a fat gold rim with rivets holding it in place to emphasize the fact an inventor gave it? Nintendo did want those smooth balls on the original design after all, so that could work.
      The ice badge could have a circular smooth glass rim with a rough cyan or white back, giving a more winter-y feel, while fitting the ICE theme, while also not having 1000 badges with a shiny smooth bottom
      the original fighting badge could be a massive explosion, with the colors working with that, make the fists actually connect with a spiky ripple in between them to emphasize the impact. Add some silver rims in between the colors to distinguish them better.
      The new fighting badge isn't the best design you made, as the skate you made is too fat and doesn't really have anything showing the skating part. It looks kinda like a chair, actually. Make the boot thinner, the laces easier to tell apart, and instead of adding wheels, add a rail on one end and sparks on the other, as the perspective doesn't allow for wheels. The backplate emphasizing the momentum, looking like how a fast character usually goes blurry and spiky in anime. I think a light or dark gray should work well, with extensions inside the rim looking like blur likes that typically appear alongside the fast moving character.
      The grass badge doesn't need one, though to fit with the others, maybe add clouds to the top to show how high you had to climb to even get to the gym, with the clouds sticking out a bit.
      The beetle one could have a wood grain backplate, or a matte black backplate with a silver spider's web surrounding the beetle with 3 or 4 randomly placed glass balls on the web like in the actual gym.
      The cliff badge doesn't need one, but it could be a rough square stone slab, possibly with some marbles, akin to wall climbing rocks.
      Sorry for the very large wall of text. I kinda lost myself while making the backplate suggestions.

      @@toxiquidthanks, I'm glad my overthinking has helped someone!
      Most of my ideas stem from the fact that the kalos badges are very fragile and very jagged. Don't get me wrong, they look kinda cool, and I know WHY they did this, but they would only work if they're as big as your palm. The ice badge especially doesn't work for me, as it's held up by 6 very tiny pieces of metal. And when I say tiny, I mean TINY. I worked as a machinist, I know ALL about fragile tiny and precise metal, and that design works as much as my brain does half the time: NOT. I WILL go into very deep detail about this one, don't you worry.
      Almost every single design requires some type of redesign just to not snap into a billion pieces as soon as someone touches them or cause instant bleeding, which is why I decided on the backplates with the extra details, because they all suck. Here's my criticisms of all the original ones.
      BUG BADGE: has a horn that will snap off way too easily, and feels like what anyone would come up with when you think of "bug badge" add a basic backplate, and it'd work fine enough.
      CLIFF BADGE: has a million jagged edges, but can at least survive a slight bump against a table, unlike ANOTHER badge ill mention soon. Smooth them out a bit, and it'd work fine.
      FIGHTING BADGE: it has multiple points of failure and has a lot of sharp edges. My redesigns don't help with the sharpness, but at least you know to look out for the spikes.
      LEAF BADGE: honestly, it's the best out of the bunch, and the most boring. Give it a little more personality (this one is without backplate) by adding a ring cloud around the top of the plant in the middle of the badge to make it look like a mix of a tree and a sprout, this even adds a message like "big things come from small beginnings" or something.
      LIGHTNING BADGE: dear Arceus, where do I even begin here.
      Let's just remember that these things are supposed to be SMALL. Considering that, WHO LET THIS THING THROUGH R&D?! It has 22 different (most of which) being VERY SHARP corners, which on this scare would make it very sharp, the details are tiny and would make it weak. The... lightning bolts? Are flimsy as paper straws and would snap very fast. It looks ugly to boot, and there's not even anything special about it. It looks like some of the scraps you'd get when machining a block of iron into shape getting welded randomly! This thing has a special place in my heart, one where I store all my anger.
      FAIRY BADGE: aside from the 2 very sharp edges and the pearl in the middle being fragile, it's nothing special. It actually looks like one of those see-though stickers you put on glass to make your house look different. This also removes any personality besides "rainbow" and "butterfly". I don't see a way to fix it besides using your design and or using a backplate that looks like a standard butterfly
      PSYCHIC BADGE: despite looking more like the poison badge (heavy use of purples, the 3 extra pearls looking like the poison effect in earlier games, and the smoke being reminiscent of an elegant weezing), it's not THAT bad. No very sharp edges that could draw blood, I assume the bottom pearl was connected using special stuff, it won't snap THAT fast besides the 3 extra pearls. If those were inside the smoke, it'd work fine enough... As an EARRING.
      Why in the name of meowth is this a BADGE? Give it a backplate to make it more of a badge, or redesign it completely. This doesn't fit as a badge.
      And finally… the ICE BADGE. Ooh boy, do I have something to complain about here.
      The outer ring is flimsy as can be, being held together by PIXELS, it doesn't fit the ice aesthetic at all, fitting a WATER design better, once the outer ring breaks you have 12 different pieces of sharp jagged metal, as snapped metal tends to be sharper then anything not machined, thus guaranteeing it WILL draw blood eventually, the insignia in the middle fits more as a FIRE badge then an iceberg, it's as 2d as can be, even the FIGHTING badge had more potential for the 3d effect, and the design of the middle part feels more at home as the MINERAL BADGE, as it looks more like a diamond than a snowflake.
      This was the one badge that convinced me that they needed to add a backplate to ALL the badges and redesign almost all of them, cause THIS SINGLE ONE broke all the rules a badge should have. Remember, this thing in canon is supposed to be SMALL, but even upscaling this one wouldn't work, cause the outer ring is just too weak. And the reason I don't want breakable bits or sharp bits is because 10-year-olds are SUPPOSED to get them. Those 10-year-olds will break them, and will not be smart and hurt themselves on these badges. Most of the other badges I complained about had some redeeming qualities (except the lightning badge), but this thing is so unfixable that you need to start over completely. This one is fundamentally broken. If the lightning badge is the one I spit at weekly, this is the one I would turn to slag, and destroy the slag, so no-one would ever have to deal with its stupidity again.

    I vehemently oppose your opinion on the Kalosian Badges! I love those ones, so different and unique compared to the others and the shiny crystals in them give them that extra touch. The Psychic Badge being a crystal ball folds in not just Olympia's own foresight but also Anistar City's own landmark of a giant crystal (though the name does need changing) and the Iceberg Badge having actual water in it is so cool to me.
    Granted some could still be given a change to better suit the Leader rather than the Type. Namely the Bug and Rumble Badges. Also the Voltage Badge is a complete outlier, the lightbulb is much better.
    I'd like to throw my hat into the ring for Gen 9 redesigns while I'm here:
    Bug: Web Badge, top down web pattern on a dark brown bumpy shape to look like icing on a cake or muffin.
    Grass: Briar Badge, Brassius' thorn whip in a certain shape, perhaps a spiral.
    Electric: Eyecatch Badge, a pair of eyes stuck to the ends of a magnet coming from her Magnemite hair-things and her intro line of catching eyes in her Electroweb.
    Water: Sushi Badge, a fish split into three pieces.
    Normal: Normal Badge, literally just a disk. It's Larry, I don't think he could draw a smiley face if he tried.
    Ghost: Grave Badge, a gravestone with a black circle on it to look like a speaker.
    The last two were actually done pretty good by Toxiquid, just use them more or less and name them the Beauty and Slalom Badges.

    Also, Koga's badge is a sakura leaf which is at least a little more ninja-y (or at least japanese themed) than a heart.
    Also also! Personally, I really LOVE the gen 6 bades! Especially Fairy and Psychic (tho tbf, yea, Psychic could just as well represent a poison cloud). And I feel like with the Lighning badge, a design with gears would have been really fitting for an inventor.

    I honestly really love most of your improvements for the badges

    and I even get your criticisms for the Psichic Badge
    (and even the fairy badge but only that it's too wide).
    I can't really make out what the rumble badge is supposed to be after your redesign, but a rollerskating badge would be pretty cool,
    and the voltage badge was perfect already, you can't change my mind.
    A V for Volt that also looks like a light cone, with the added benefit of shimmering,
    which radiates light that can also be read as electricity due to it's chaoticness.
    Not to mention it's very recognizable due to it's fun silhouette.

    Here's some names I came up with for your all-new Paldea badges:
    Cocoon (Katy - Well, you can't call it a "Hive," so you may as well go with the cocoon for metamorphosis.)
    Contrast (Brassius - I was going to call it the Vista Badge, but I figured it might be more fitting to refer to color contrast.)
    Network (Iono - Every streamer needs their network platform.)
    Dive (Kofu - I was torn between the crest of a wave and cetacean breaching, but then I looked up "dive" and found no badge, so I went with that.)
    Routine (Larry - Any other term would either be two-word, inappropriate, or dark, so I stuck to routine, which Larry is all too familiar with.)
    Chant (Ryme - Ghost is easy to see as the "magic from beyond" type, especially with Hex Maniacs, and plenty of magic involves chanting. In addition, chants are the kind of thing Ryme's fans could do in anticipation or applause.)
    Mesmer (Tulip - Mesmerizing beauty and piercing gaze wouldn't be odd compliments for a beautician or a model.)
    Slope (Grusha - it fits the image, it fits the theme, and it fits the Type.)

  • @ogopogoagogo
    @ogopogoagogo 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    Looking at it closer, I think the Legend Badge is mean to be a wizard's staff, with a lot of staff designs having skinny hilt and large and more ornate head with a jewel in the center; and wizards/sorcery are commonly seen along dragons which are both stuff of "Legend". So yeah, having a more dragon-esque design would fit far better for a Gym argutely the most themed around dragons in the series, if my theory is correct, I can at least see the thought process for the design.
    Also I am surprised you Mr "I Hate Circular Badges" never mentioned the Marsh Badge considering it is just...a gold circle with a slightly smaller circle inside. Outside of the very weird name choice (it is called the Gold Badge in the original versions with makes a bit more sense), even if you want to say that its based on a coin and Saffron City is based on Tokyo which is a wealthy area; it doesn't really convey Sabrina's psychic theme all too well, the design is still very basic, and could easily apply to nearly any Gym Leader you could put in Saffron City with how broad the theme is (arguably works better with someone like Giovanni who is a crime boss).

    • @toxiquid
      @toxiquid  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      in an earlier draft of the video, I absolutely laid into the marsh badge. However, it wasnt constructive and I couldn’t really think of how to “fix” it, other than completely making a new one, which wasn’t the mission statement for the video. As for the legend badge, I think that this is a really interesting idea! I personally don’t think it’s a wizard staff, but I can see how someone could interpret it that way.

    • @ogopogoagogo
      @ogopogoagogo 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      ​@toxiquid Didn't you basically make a new badges for one like the Soul and Rumble Badge though? Plus at very least if you had to keep the same circular shape for the Marsh Badge, they could have stylized it to make look like a pendulum (or at least like a swirl in the middle) similar to what Hypno has; though ironically Sabrina never uses a Hypno in the original games.
      Which would tie into Sabrina's Psychic Typing and an item used to manipulate and control others would track with her character considering she straight up has a whip in in her original Red & Blue sprite and turned people into her literal dolls in the anime.

    • @toxiquid
      @toxiquid  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      this video was definitely the longest for me to make by a wide margin, however that came with the caveat of making a reusable rig for future videos. that took around 4 weeks. the animation itself took around 6-7 weeks, with the intro being one on its own. the editing itself took around 3 weeks, but trying to figure out the style took around a week on its own. and modeling and all that took a week as well.
      all in all, combining stuff like research, writing, rewriting, and various challenges like 3d model acquisition (thanks DJ!), this video took around 6-8 months to make on and off. keep in mind that this is a personal project on top of my full time work and school as well. the next one should take less time hopefully :)

    I like to think that the legend badge although we don't have a clear idea of what it is it's all up to the players perception. Master Drayden's Gym has the White and the Black dragons symbolizing truth and ideals and the gray is the middle man, your perception of what you perceive it as.
    I also like the red gem because you focused in on that and it gives you the thought of what it could be and that's for you to decide. Whether you see a dragon or a weapon or an achievement of the final gym overcomed.
    I feel like showing a simple design of a dragon would be okay, however it being the final gym and one of the high moments where the Battle of Truth Versus ideal starts to Peak you'll become a legend yourself-- Legends don't exactly take one shape or form so thats all up to how you precive a legend as.
    But that is more so my head can and slash Theory--a badge theory. 😊

    I like a lot of these suggestions! Some of these aren't even badges I had a problem with like the mineral badge, or some of the kalos badge designs, but you had some great ideas.
    I still have this funny feeling, like. you're not wrong. but you're not exactly right. I see tons of videos of people talking about how things in the pokemon games should be different. everybody is operating on a very modern outlook of how pokemon should operate. we're using a language that has been developed over the course of the entire series, and when you look back at older games, it makes them look out of place. but I don't think it necessarily means it's wrong. It looks like the types we're only starting to be color coordinated in gen 4. And I think the hive badge is a fine design.

  • @CyberKirby

    Allow me to give my pitches for renaming the badges.
    For Kalos: I think you nailed it with Pixie and Oracle, but I didn't like Beetle. How about Scuttle Badge instead?
    For Galar: First, the badges in both games: Field Badge, Harbor Badge, Mortar Badge, Magic Badge, Punk Badge, Wrath Badge. For the version-exclusives I thought it'd be neat if they shared a name. Fighting and Ghost could both be the Crumble Badge, and Rock and Ice could be the Mountain Badge. If each must be different Ghost could be the Haunt Badge and Ice could be the Snow Badge.
    For Paldea: I never actually played these ones but I'm still gonna try my best. Also, only doing gym badges. Nest Badge (cuz she's motherly and Hive was taken), Blossom Badge (something about beauty or something), Wire Badge (like live wire), Steam Badge (for the steamed crabs we're having mmmm steamed crabs), Standard Badge (cuz you're meeting his standards), Dirge Badge (look it up), Vision Badge (future vision, clothing vision, idk something there), and Slush Badge.

    If I were to make the Paldean Gym Leader’s badges, I’d make them a thing that relates to the gym leader while still including the icon of the type in some way. For example; Katy’s badge is a muffin that has the pattern of the beetle used as the bug types icon, while Kofu has a badge with a veluza leaping out of water (like the bass pro shop logo’s fish) with the veluza looking like it was made with a bunch of teardrops, the water type icon. Larry’s can stay the same though, since he’s supposed to be normal. I guess the one he gives you is upside down, or has a manufacturing defect.

    I kind of knew that the asterisk would be all of Paldea. This to me was the creative rot of gym badges. Yes I understand that there are badges for all 18 types in this game but even just the little add ons from this video would help. If just putting UI elements on a circle wasn't bad enough, the name of the badge is just the name of the type. Seriously I know it's small but that's what I liked about badges. They tried to rep the type in an interesting way. Also fun fact on the name topic. If you don't count Team Star's Ruchbah Squad badge, Fairy has literally never had a badge name that wasn't it's own, even in a region with different badge names.

    A pretty good portion of the aside from the jhoto, paldea and kalos redesigns I didn’t care for most of the redesign you did. In all fairness I do like how a lot of the badges looked anyway except galar badges being placed into a circle which felt weird after growing up with the standerd badge case.
    Also at least in the kanto region it feels like a lot of gym leaders inherit their badges I wouldn’t be surprised if the previous gym leader before Giovanni was a grass or flying type gym and he just didn’t bother to change badge types. Kinda like how misty and Brock inherited the gym from family member who just happen to use the same type

    Aside from that, this is by far your best video. The jokes were good and timed perfectly, the voice-over was good and energetic, the music choice and sound effects fit really well, the animations were smooth and flowed really nicely (that first one with the gym trainers was an actual masterpiece), and THE 3D MODELS!?

There’s so much more visual interest with the Kalos badges than most others. Also, Valerie’s is fairy wings and the symmetry of it adds to the idea as it’s a pair of wings rather than just one shape

    The thing about Kanto's gym badges is that they represent the city the gym is located instead of the gym's specialty type. That is why Soul badge is Fuchsia, Marsh badge is Saffron, and Earth badge is Viridian. Celadon City gym is the only outlier of this pattern with the Rainbow badge.

    One thing you didn't note with the sinnoh badges is they all have REALLY geometric outlines, something your fen badge redesign misses on
    Personally, to fix the cobble badge, I'd feel that making it two interlocking fists (same shape as the original fighting badge in kalos) would make it look great while also somewhat reminiscent of tatamis
    (Also, cobble is a slang for putting something together quickly)
    I feel the kalos segment was way shorter than it should; that whole region has so many design discrepancies that it feels like each is from a different region entirely 😢

    The Voltage Badge looks like someone put a slice of pizza in the microwave for too long, and it somehow exploded. Yeah, your idea for a redesign is simple and looks good, and I like it.

    I actually like the circular badges, because I always imagined them not as pin but as coins you flip in your hand.

    This has me hoping that Gen 10 brings back unique badge design. It didn't occure to me till now how we've had 2 gens in a row with the badges looking like a set of identical identities.
