The Original Trainer (Japanese: 親 owner), or OT, of a Pokémon is the Trainer who caught or hatched the Pokémon in question first. The Original Trainer's name is used in conjunction with their ID number to verify which Pokémon are outsider Pokémon by the games.
In the games
Pokémon receive the OT of the Trainer who originally caught, hatched, received, or snagged the Pokémon. NPC Trainers who give away Pokémon for free will not be registered as the Pokémon's OT, except for in two instances - a Spearow given by Webster and a Shuckle given by Kirk, both in the Generation II games and their remakes. These special instances are different in that the Pokémon received is intended to be later returned, in Webster's case to his friend on Route 31, and in Kirk's case, to him after Silver has been defeated at Mt. Moon, although in the latter case, Kirk will allow the player to keep Shuckle if it has maximum friendship.
