Collectible Badge Center
The free piece of Japan-only Nintendo 3DS software, Collectible Badge Center, had its weekly update today and this week it introduced even more new panels of badges of Pokémon to earn. These panels include various more new Pokémon to the ones previously obtainable as well as a special set for Pikachu based on Halloween. We're currently cataloguing all of these badges and will update our special Collectible Badge Center section shortly.
