>BrockHe won the same stupid way Ash did arguably worse since Pikachu blew up Onix with his electricity
>MistyShe was beating his ass and Red realized he was outmatched. So the 2 of them trained for a while he gave him the badge out of respect
>LT Surge Never was a gym battle. He was fighting for his life and Surge dropped it when he was defeated
>ErikaShe was beating his ass. But it was a test to see if he’d give up or not so she gave it to him
>KogaHe didn’t fight him in a gym battle. He and Blue teamed up to fight him. Red took the badge after the battle was done
>Sabrina He never fought her. Green did and defeated her to steal the badge. Then she decided to trade it to Red for a moon stone.
>Blaine Never fought. They worked together to stop Mewtwo. Not sure if he got the Badge as a result or not
>Giovanni The battle was for his freedom. Even after defeating him he never took the badge
Turns out that you don’t need 8 gym badges to enter the Pokémon league.
