Not only is it possible, but it's been a common practice since the
Red/Blue days. (Pokémon won't get boosted experience on their "home"
savegame, though.)

Aaah! Thanks. R/S/Coliseum is really my first foray into the world of
Pokemon. Before that, I just watched the show. Before that, I just
collected the first series of the TCG. I imagine that they wouldn't have
gotten boosted xp back on their home game, because then people would
continuously trade the same one back and forth 100 times and then one
battle would lvl up that pokemon who knows how many times. It'd be
a nice bug to exploit, though, if it were possible.

That's what the Trainer ID number is. If your current trainer ID isn't the
Pokemon's original one, then they get boosted exp. They don't get extra exp
bonus for being traded multiple times. You can trade a pokemon to somebody,
then they trade it to a third person, but it still only gets the same amount
of exp.
