Not positive these are correct, but looking over members' badges and applying common sense, the cutoffs appear to be ...
100: Boulder Badge
250: Cascade Badge
500: Thunder Badge
750: Rainbow Badge
1,000: Soul Badge
1,500: Marsh Badge
2,000: Volcano Badge
5,000: Earth Badge
If we reframe this in terms of the change in post count ...
+100: Boulder Badge
+150: Cascade Badge
+250: Thunder Badge
+250: Rainbow Badge
+250: Soul Badge
+500: Marsh Badge
+500: Volcano Badge
+3000: Earth Badge
As you can see, it's a pretty slow-rising exponential curve that then skyrockets as you go for that final badge. ^^;

So, if we were to attempt to fit this data to a curve and project how many posts it'd take to get future badges, crudely you'd be talking at least +10,000 more posts beyond Post #5,000 just to get your third Johto badge. Boo urns.

But if, on the other hand, we understood it as "Every 5,000 posts, you complete a region; getting the first seven in a region is relatively easy but getting the eighth one in a region is hard," then we'd expect Johto to cut off at 10,000 and Hoenn to cut off at 15,000. Meaning we wouldn't just want Johto badges: we'd want Hoenn and (pretty darn soon here) Sinnoh badges as well. ^^;

Don't be silly Dave, you're already there.

So I'm about 100 posts from beating Koga then. Would it take less time if I got a Ground type with Earthquake?

Hey, TO posts don't count towards your postcount, so that means all of my counted posts are meaningful posts or battle orders!

I separate the two, but the battle orders often have a stunning amount of thought put into them. Days worth, sometimes.

Contemplate that Loki's been in this iteration of UPN for seven years.
Contemplate that he doesn't have the Earth Badge.
'tis interesting.

(Also wow I've been here for five years so that's what happened to my life)

Loki's eaten more koalas in seven years than I ever have/will. He doesn't need no Earth Badge.

Good idea. That way no one would have it.

Except for the admins because adminship grants all the badges.
