A Pokémon is recognized as an outsider if its [[Original Trainer]] identification does not match up with the current saved game. This means that if a Pokémon is traded out of a game that is later restarted, and the Pokémon is traded back in, it will be treated as an outsider. | A Pokémon is recognized as an outsider if its [[Original Trainer]] identification does not match up with the current saved game.

While appearing no different to any Pokémon caught by the {{player}} (apart from the OT name and [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]]), an outsider Pokémon may behave in a different manner to those found in-game. If the [[Pokémon Trainer]] in possession of the outsider Pokémon has less than sufficient [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s, the outsider may choose to disobey commands in battle. This can range from using a different [[move]] from the one instructed, "loafing around", or even {{status|sleep|taking a nap}}. | While appearing no different to any Pokémon caught by the {{player}} (apart from the OT name and [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]]), an outsider Pokémon may behave in a different manner to those found in-game.

The in-game reasoning provided for this is that Pokémon respect Trainers who have defeated [[Gym Leader]]s: thus, by earning more Badges, a player will gradually cause an increased number of Pokémon to listen to him or her. | The in-game reasoning provided for this is that Pokémon respect Trainers who have defeated [[Gym Leader]]s: thus, by earning more Badges, a player will gradually cause an increased number of Pokémon to listen to him or her. Also, this rule arguably stands to prevent someone from trading in a high-leveled Pokémon trained on to another game, and easily beating his or her game. | ||
While there is a chance that the Pokémon will not listen to its new Trainer, it will grow faster once traded. Outsider Pokémon gain 1.5 times the normal [[experience]] points awarded for participating in {{pkmn|battle}}s; outsider Pokémon from other countries will gain 1.7x the normal experience. This is denoted in-game with "<sc>Pokémon</sc> gained a boosted X Exp. Points!" | While there is a chance that the Pokémon will not listen to its new Trainer, it will grow faster once traded.
