Yeah, the level limits only apply to pokemon you recieve in trades (i.e. pokemon where your character is not listed as the original trainer).

So, with MV's advice, I've filled out my dream team. Now, to find a trapinch. Then, soon as my zigzagoon evolves, I'll store him. I figure by that time the Pick Up ability will stop picking up awesome items, because items that are awesome in the early game are fairly mundane later. Hell, they're pretty mundane now, but he's level 13 now, so I might as well bring him up to 20 for the linoone pokedex entry. Trade him in and start leveling my electrike. And when my nincada evolves (I'm storing someone when the nincada reaches level 19, so I can get both ninjask and sedinja), I'll find a trapinch, hopefully. Or continue evolving my various captures.

I'm not entirely sure about that.

If only because I've heard somewhere that only your starter will never disobey you. Could be wrong, though.

I dunno, if I was a pokemon, I'd take some exception to being used in cockfighting matches... particuarly if I was an intelligent one. :P

Eh, I think it makes more sense for them to put safeguards from the player trivializing the content. After all, there's not much difference between leveling a Pokemon to 100 or trading a Lv. 100 from another game, they both lead to the same thing, so why block just one?

Also, look at Ash and his Charizard, pre-Orange Islands, simply rasing a Pokemon to be strong shouldn't necessarily mean you get it's respect at the same time.

Then look at Ash and his Charizard from the comics.
There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.

I thought Ash fgot his charmander in a trade...

Also, there's a difference between traded pokemon and raised pokemon: traded pokemon get extra XP, so they are easier to level up than pokemon you raise yourself.

As a tradeoff, aren't they weaker in the stats they gain after the trade, though?

The Charmander's original trainer abandoned it. S'not really a trade if you don't give anything up.

And while that's true MFD, it leads to the same thing. Trivializing content.

If players have a high level Pokemon before finishing up most of the game (getting the final badge) then the game becomes pretty easy.

Secondly, the text the gym leaders use when you get a level badge generally tends to be "With this badge, all Pokemon up to level <whatever> will obey you, even those gotten in trades."

EDIT: Not really, Car. So long as you properly train their EVs, their stats would be the same as any other.

They'd only get less "stat bonuses" for the same reason as rare candies: they wouldn't have fought as much before leveling up. However, since most non-trades seem to start maxing out the "EV"s well before lvl100, traded pokemon tend to just get a widened stat bonus dealy.

And if you get a Pokemon more fights and effort points, then put them in the computer and take them out, their stats will update. So you take a Pokemon you fed Rare Candies from level 5 to 100 to the Elite 4 enough times they will get normal stats eventually.

And I've heard your starter never mutinies, Pokemon you've caught yourself will obey you to the level stated by the badge x1.5, and even traded Pokemon won't rebel immediately if they like you. If they have lots of happiness.
Hey, the comic seems to be updating kind of regularly. Maybe we should vote to spread the word.

Every time I restart my game, I spend an hour trying to figure out where to go after Verdanturf. I mean, I go north, and there's a strength-boulder in the way. Instead of continuing north like, say, someone who isn't retarded, I run around the known areas trying to locate the next gym.

Finally made it to Fallarbor last night.

One thing I like about Pokémon is you can name your creatures anything once you catch them. So if you, say... waste 2 Poké balls, 10 great balls, 1 ultra ball in an attempt to catch one (only to run out of balls), once you finally DO catch one, you can name it something appropriate... like Cockswab.
