having pokemon obey

Archived from groups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon (More info?)

As far as I know your own Pokemon will always obey you regardless of
their level. The only time you need to worry about their level is when
the Pokemon has been traded to you.

This isn't true. Traded Pokémon start disobeying sooner, though - I believe
they start disobeying at :L10 if you have no badges, whereas your own
Pokémon are closer to :L20. I don't know the exact numbers for each badge,
though.

Not true - I had some probs when I did too much leveling before badges...

No, if you're the original trainer, the Pokemon will always obey you;
it's been this way in all games from Red/Blue through Ruby/Sapphire
(haven't tried it in Fire/Leaf). I frequently play through the game
using nothing but a single Pokemon, and I've never had a Pokemon disobey
me if it was originally mine, even when they hit level 30 before I get
the second badge.

The only time I had a Pokemon disobey was when I did the in-game trade
for Onix in Gold/Silver; it started disobeying when it hit level 10.

Quite a few differing opinions here. I myself have never had my own
Pokemon disobey me. However, that said, I have never tried to level a
Pokemon to an extreme level without any badges. I suppose I could fire
up my Ruby game and start a new game, trade one to my Sapphire game,
level him up to 30 or so and trade him back and see if he still obeys.

Anyone else have a definative answer?

I had one start to disobey me in Blue, before level 30. I think it was my
Bulbasaur.

Hmmm. Well, now that I've gotten the fourth badge, I'm set to level them up
for a while. I'm still really only using three right now anyway. Between
Bulbasaur and Kadabra, and sometimes Geodude, I can take care of
everything -- at least so far!

I definitely had one disobey me consistantly in Ruby and I had not made any
trades at all by that point...can't remember which Poke it was though...it
was really irritating.

I'm betting you *did* trade - just not with another human. The ones you
get from in-game trades (such as that Makuhita in Rustboro) count as traded
and will disobey... Or perhaps you're thinking of Slakoth being Truant
(attacks only every other turn). But even if you had a level 100 'mon with
no badges, as long as you're the Original Trainer it *will* obey you.

Nope not thinking of Slakoth but you could be right about in game
trade...didn't think of that. Right now in FR my Squirtle is level 30 and I
am holding off on next badge til I level a bit - too late to test with no
badges though.

I was thinking though that my probs were with my Treeko and he was my
starter, though...I remember doing in game trades for skitty and something
else - corsola maybe..but I didn't think those were the problem pokes. Oh
well - I am just not sure which one it was since it only happened the first
time I played through Ruby and that was a while (and many games..) ago.

Now that I think about it, and having checked others' answers, I assume that
this is the answer:

The purpose of the disobeying rule is to stop you trading :L100 monsters
from another game and completing the game in minutes. It isn't to cause
difficulty if you're playing the game normally. Therefore, if you're the
original trainer, you should have no problems.
