Gym Leaders are trainer who run a gym and battle trainers. If a trainer defeats a Gym Leader in battle, the trainer earns that gym's badge. A trainer must earn eight badges before he or she may enter the Pokémon League.
Each region has eight official gyms, although some cities, such as Saffron City, also have an unofficial gym which does not award a badge.
In the anime, the Pokémon League at the Orange Archipelago requires only four badges to enter.
