[@theinsanegamer1024]

7:52. I don't doubt you remember this happening since memory is dumb sometimes and doesn't work the way you want it, but Pokémon you caught yourself can't disobey you. A Pokémon will disobey only if they're traded. The games don't make this distinction when describing how the badges function, though, so they make it seem like "Hey this Pokémon will never listen 'cause you suck! Get more badges!" Again, I don't doubt you remember this happening, memories tend to be weird. I swear I remember seeing an IV checker in Leaf Green despite several websites (and my own searching) saying otherwise. I just want to make a note of this as it's a common misconception, and misinformation is something I don't want spread, especially with one of my favorite franchises.

[@Krampy2]

In Brilliant Diamond I had my Pokemon disobey me. Unless it is something weird with the remake. Getting a gym badge literally says, "Pokemon level x and below will now obey you" or something like that.

[@theinsanegamer1024]

@@Krampy2 Brilliant Diamond is a mess, wouldn't surprise me if that did happen there. But otherwise that shouldn't have happened. In Scarlet and Violet catching a Pokémon above the level may cause it to not obey but in previous instalments that isn't how it works.

If it’s any consolation Illy…I was eighteen before I learned Pokemon had STATS like in every other RPG, and you’re supposed to have a consistent team of six instead of chopping and changing each gym. Thank you for being honest about your childhood gaming days. It made me feel better about mine 👍

I had a very similar thing happen in Pearl version actually- it was one of my first video games and I ended up basically taking the save file from my dad. He had gotten to Veilstone City and I don’t really know how I got ahold of the file, but I did not understand that I was supposed to LEAVE Veilstone City. I spent many hours simply exploring the two routes connected to Veilstone and hanging out in the game corner because the music was cool. The Prinplup I had eventually evolved into Empoleon before I ever got to Pastoria City. I ended up dropping the save once I realized how confused I was as I had no clue what to do after that discovery and one later saves I had a similar problem- except this time it was finding Oreburgh City 😭. I only just beat the game for the first time two years ago and I’m very happy I finally did because it was fun to use some of my old childhood favorites on that team :D (For those interested it was Empoleon, Luxray, Crobat, Rapidash, Girafarig, and Palkia)

[@SatyrToon]

My first pokemon game was leaf green. I had NO IDEA what I was doing and ran around in the grass between the first two towns, fighting pokemon for hours. I had a Charizard before the third gym and blew through most of it.

"While Pokémon usually obey their Trainers, a Pokémon may disobey if it does not respect its Trainer." - Bulbapedia Oof, 9-year-old Ilyssa got roasted.

[@asthmeresivolisk3129]

I find this a bit... nonsensical considering it's impossible for a Pokemon to stop obeying orders if you're the person who caught it. "A traded Pokémon will often not obey the player's commands if its level is too high and the player does not have the appropriate Badge, Stamp, or number of Badges. Having all eight Badges or the Island Challenge Completion stamp always makes all Pokémon obey the player. This mechanic exists to prevent players from trading in a high-leveled Pokémon from another game and easily beating the game." - Bulbapedia So either she's lying for no good reason when she could have just said "I got bored looking for the Gym Leader", or she got traded pokemon, which would also mean she's lying because she said she caught all her pokemon herself... either way it's a bit rubbish.

[@danielvan12]

@@asthmeresivolisk3129 Yea so that’s why I went to Bulbapedia in the first place to make sure I wasn’t going crazy when she said her Pokémon disobeyed her. You are, of course, correct that it’s not possible for Pokémon you caught on your own save to disobey you. I also recognize that she’s recanting a memory from like 10-15 years ago when she was 9 and couldn’t figure out that the gym leader would be in the gym. I think accusing her of lying is a bit of a strong claim.
