[So how do you keep a strategist trainer with what basically amounts to a super bug-killing party from steam-rolling the things all weekend? You poison the trainer, of course! So the feed opens in the back of the Pokécenter, with Naoto tucked into a bed and being fussed over by a Nurse Joy. She looks pretty pale, and one of her arms is heavily ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure that's just wishful thinking.

I haven't seen a lick of evidence that the badges are anything other than the local sport here. The natives all do it for fun. Or bragging rights. Or whatever.

S'something to do, that's all.

True, and I doubt that earning all of them will get us sent home right away. However, earning badges does seem to make more areas accessible and allow us to use more abilities outside of battle. It may be that the clues are in some hidden area we can't access until we get the badges.

With no other clues to point in a different direction in all the months I've been here, I must pursue what is available. If there is no merit in it, at least we will know and not need to consider "what ifs" at a later date.

Well, good luck I guess.

If you find something, I'll recant all disbelief.

I would say that I need little luck with getting the badges, but I suppose it is appropriate, considering what I hope getting the badges will grant.

At the very least, I'll have earned more respect from the natives.

Yeah.

Sure seems like the only thing we CAN do to earn respect from the natives around here...

Earning their respect may make them more amiable to helping us.

... Those that even seem to realize we're not natives ourselves.
