Pokemon disobediance

[Desimodontidae]

Allright. So in Red Blue and Yelow (and maybe the new ones, I wouldnt know) the badges have have attributes like "Pokemon up to level 30 will obey you" It could be a coincidence but I've never had this problem of a pokemon not obeying me. What does this mean?

[SonicChaos7]

It means for pokemon that have been received through a trade will obey you at a certain level. They will obey you until the first badge is received, then traded pokemon will begin to disobey you.

Like you get a level 75 Charizard from a friend and want to use it to own one of the trainers, say Erika (I believe she's the plant one). Well, at that point in the game, you do not have a badge strong enough to prove that you have the skill to handle such a strong pokemon. Helps prevent cheating by giving a low level player some high level pokemon from another game.

Like they said, it'll just not use the move you told it to or struggle.

Hmm... I remember on occassion I raised its level too high and it wouldn't obey me. I think they might give you around a 5 level grace period or so.

Ahhh, I miss the old Pokemon days.  Care-free, the most important thing to ya was assembling your team to beat someone.

Enough remincerizing.

In case anyone was wondering, the higher the level does not affect the rate of "not-doing-what-it's-told-ness".  A level 31 pokemon, only 1 level over the limit, will not attack the same amount as a level 83 pokemon.  I discovered this during my Pokemon Guru of the elementery school yard days, or, about 8 years ago.  It's scarey how this knowledge sticks with you after all this time.  In fact, I bet I can still name off any pokemon you show me a picture of.

Ahh, but how exactly do they not obey? Do they just not attack when you tell them to or what?

[Cerebus]

That's what they did for me. I made them attack, but they did nothing.

There are multiple ways:

1.) *Name* Went to sleep! (It goes to sleep, duh.)
2.) *Name* instead used *Attack*! (Instead of using...slash, it uses leer.)
3.) *Name* used Struggle! (It uses struggle in stead, duh #2.)
4.) *Name* is loitering! (or something, basically it doesn't do anything)

Those are the only four I've gotten.  Feel free to add to the list is anyone else feels like it.

Struggle hurts itself, right?
It's been so long since I've played those games. @_@

Yes, struggle hurts itself.
It also has been a long time since i last played as well, but seeing as how the games were a big part of my life for like...5 years, I can't help by remember all this stuff .

Man I remeber when I found the Missing no. Glitch and caught a Snorelax I got him to lvl 125 using item dup and he wouldn't listen to me. -.- But when he did...instant KO. :vict:

And I remember my level 1 flying Kangaskahn that was nigh invincible, but I was always afraid to try him out in Pokemon Stadium for fear that the glitch would screw up my games. Those were the good old days...

[ZeroKirbyX]

Level 999 Aerodactyl bitch. I LOVED that glitch.

They way it works is if anyone who was under 15 during the 90's says they never liked pokemon, they're liars. I remember my Red ver lv 100 charizard "Redd". Named my charizard of Fire Red "Redd II' XD

To get back on the disobedience topic, your starter pokemon will ALWAYS obey you, no matter what, because your first pokemon is always the one you have the strongest connection with.
