Hey, so most of you probably know that as a Gym Leader, you don't have your type badge (unless you battled the previous leader for the position, thus getting the badge anyway). However, I am proposing that the Gym Leaders should get their respected badge after doing so many battles or having a certain Win/Loss percentage. I would also like to point out that we would have to lose our gym and then battle the Gym Leader to get our badge, which seems rather convoluted to get your own badge :/

The idea is still in early stages at the moment however, but I just want to know what you guys think! Drop a comment below of what you think and I can hopefully make a poll soon!

I'm in support of this, it seems odd to not be able to have your own badge... Especially if you battled for ownership :p

I have always been a fan of this idea, I've been the psychic gym leader ever since gyms were first opened on the site.

My suggestion for this would be that once the gym leader has taken at least 10 challenges and won over 5 of them they get their own badge, and can comment in awarded badges to have their record looked over.

Or if that person had to battle for the gym they get the badge as they have already proven their skills with that type.

Seconding this definitely. After Leaders have shown this much, they should at least deserve the badge.

I like the idea, I was the first ever rock gym leader and in order to become champion I needed to get all 18 badges causing me to need to find a replacement and beat them which was hard since rock is a bad mono team type -_-

I was thinking that we could make a separate thread for the gym leaders to comment on, detailing their win/loss percentage or amount of battles (however we are doing it). Then we can just award badges as normal :)

Since the leaders are required to publicly show their record W/L why not just do what you said and if they reach maybe a 60% w/l ratio then they can PM an admin?

I don't think a whole separate thread is needed if they're already tracking records on their previously made threads

True, point taken. I guess this idea is ready to go :)

60% win/loss sounds good for gym leaders to get their badge, and for people who had to battle to get the gym get the badge right away? PM an admin to get them :)

I guess yeah that would make sense since they do have to beat the gym to get it anyway

doulie is up for the idea! I'll be making a thread for all gym leaders who feel like they qualify for their type badge can post and have their record checked, the thread is also being made to let people know that this is now a thing :)
