Why Do My Pokemon Disobey Me in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl?

If that is the burning question that has been plaguing your mind, you will be relieved to get some answers: a Pokemon will only disobey when it does not possess your trainer name/ID. For example, only traded Pokemon will disobey you at a certain point in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

So what is that “certain point” when the traded Pokemon starts disobeying you? It is when their level is too high in relation to the number of badges you own. Well, we’ll make that a little simpler:

What this means is that, if you possess no badges, traded Pokemon up to Lv. 10 will obey you. They will start disobeying you when they are Lv. 11 or higher when you have no badges, which continues in the same manner until you have all 8 badges, after which no Pokemon will ever disobey you, traded or not.
