How many badges do you have in every game before surf is required to progress?

Jan. 12, 2020

I’m basically scoping out how soon a surfer is required in every game. no glitches or exploits to skip badges or get surf early. (I know it’s actually possible to skip a few gyms in kanto)

Kanto: 3 (Because, after being misty and getting cut, you can go straight to Fushia. If you want to fight Koga later on, you have to fight him before the 7th badge)Johto: 4Hoenn: 5Sinnoh: 5Unova: 6 (5 in black and white 2) (note that, In black and white, surf isn’t nessacery, but you’re forced to get it)Kalos: 3

Now for the things that allow you to surf:

Lapras Pokèride in Alola: Second Trial CompletedSea skim in LGPE: 3 badges (you need the cut technique too)The Rotom Bike with the surfing upgrade in SwSh: 6 badges
