Ok guys, simple question. Pokemon Emerald. I want to trade my Kadabra across to another game, then trade it back again to get myself an Alakazam. Will my Alakazam obey me in my playthrough, as I am its OT, but it is received in a trade. Not something I've ever had to deal with before.
 
Well, yes, assuming you have the appropriate gym badges guaranteeing obedience from Pokemon of a certain level.

To put it in an example, let's say the kadabra is lv. 80, but you only have 5 gym badges. The alakazam is too high leveled and thus will not obey you. But if your alakazam is lv 30, and you have 5 badges, than of course it will obey you as its level is under the level limit.
 
I don't get this. In the past I have gone playthroughs using a single Pokemon and have never once been disobeyed. Surely that would have resulted in overleveling?
 
No, think about it. After defeating the 4th gym, Pokemon up to level 50 will obey you. In most games, you reach the pokemon league with a team of level 50's. Your Pokemon don't level up 10 times in between each gym battle. Perhaps it is possible very early, but I believe your starter never disobeys.
 
Your guys will always obey you. Their level is irrelevant. The level of a traded pokeomn is different however. I would have to believe that your Alakazam will obey you. For example, when I used to play Pokemon gold/silver version I had no idea of this. I was like 6 or 7 playing those so it took me a long time to figure stuff out. I would trade the bellsprout for an onix becuz back the. I thought onix were cool looking and I had never seen one before. But it'd never obey me because I'd always do the trade before of even get a badge. Also, once I used pidgeot and had a lv75 pidgeot after only 5 badges an it always Obeyed me. It was level 92 when I got my 8th badge.
 
You are the original Trainer, so it won't disobey you since it has your Pokemon Trainer Id registered.
 
i have all 8 badges in fire red and my mew(lvl 30) dont obey me :/
 
A glitch or not true, then.

At any rate ask questions in the thread sticky next time, please. Already answered a while back, so closed.
