The '''Original Trainer''' ('''OT''' | The '''Original Trainer''' or '''Original Partner'''{{sup/8|LA}} (Japanese: '''{{tt|親|おや}}''' ''owner''), or '''OT''' for short, of a Pokémon is the [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]] who obtained the Pokémon in question first. It is shown in the Pokémon's [[summary]]. The Original Trainer's name is used in conjunction with their [[gender]] and [[Trainer ID number|ID number]]s to verify which Pokémon are [[outsider Pokémon]]. | ||
==Assignment== | |||
Pokémon receive the Trainer who originally [[Caught Pokémon|caught]], hatched, received, [[Snagging|snagged]], or otherwise obtained them as their OT. [[Non-player character|NPC]]s who give away [[gift Pokémon]] will not be registered as the Pokémon's OT, except for in three instances: a {{p|Spearow}} given by {{jo|Webster}} and a {{p|Shuckle}} given by [[Kirk]], both in the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|their remakes}}, and a {{p|Zorua}} given by [[Rood]] with [[N]] as its OT in {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}. In the case of Webster's Spearow and Kirk's Shuckle, these are special instances in that the Pokémon received is intended to be later returned, in Webster's case to his friend on {{rt|31|Johto}} and in Kirk's case to him after {{ga|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]]. In the case of [[N's Zorua]], it is unique as it is one of [[N's Pokémon]]; besides Zorua, various other Pokémon with N as their OT can be encountered and caught if [[Memory Link]] is used, making these the only [[wild Pokémon]] that the player can catch without being considered their OT. Unlike with most gift Pokémon, NPCs who give away Pokémon in [[in-game trade]]s are considered to be the OTs of those Pokémon. | |||
A Pokémon [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] by a player which is [[trade]]d as an [[Pokémon Egg|Egg]] to another will have the hatching Trainer as its OT, regardless of the breeder. A [[Shadow Pokémon]] that has been snagged will initially display its OT as question marks, but after being [[Purification|purified]], it will have the Trainer who purified it as its OT. {{p|Shedinja}} produced by the [[evolution]] of a {{p|Nincada}} retain the Nincada's OT. | |||

A Pokémon whose Original Trainer is not the same as its current Trainer is called an [[outsider Pokémon]]; this is determined by using the Original Trainer's name, [[Trainer ID number]], {{DL|Trainer ID number|Secret ID|secret ID number}}, and [[gender]]. An outsider Pokémon with too high a [[level]] may [[Obedience|disobey]] its Trainer in [[Pokémon battle|battle]] if they have too few [[Badge]]s or {{DL|Trainer card (game)|Stamps|stamps}} (but they will always obey in link battles). Outsider Pokémon gain 50% more experience than Pokémon trained by their Original Trainer; from [[Generation IV]] onward, outsider Pokémon with a different [[language of origin]] to the game's language instead gain 70% more experience. | |||
{{ | In most games, only the Original Trainer of a Pokémon can change its [[nickname]]. Starting in [[Generation VIII]] (with the exception of [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]), an outsider Pokémon without a nickname can be given one by any Trainer, though only its Original Trainer can change it again afterwards, and outsider Pokémon with nicknames still cannot have their nicknames changed. | ||
If two compatible Pokémon with different Original Trainers are [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], they will produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s more frequently than Pokémon with the same Original Trainer. | |||
Prior to [[Generation VI]], due to a glitch, if an Egg is hatched in a game other than that of the player who generated it, it can hatch with the appearance of a [[Shiny Pokémon]] in the cutscene but actually be normally colored, or hatch normally colored but actually be Shiny. This is because the Egg has the same Trainer ID number and secret ID number as the player who generated it before the cutscene, but they change to match the hatching player after the cutscene. This also allows Eggs that are normally prevented from containing Shiny Pokémon (namely Eggs obtained from event distributions and the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg) to hatch into Shiny Pokémon, as long as they are hatched in a game other than the game that generated them. Starting in Generation VI, this can no longer happen. | |||
==Special Original Trainers== | |||
{{main|List of notable ID numbers}} | |||
Sometimes, there are special Original Trainer names assigned to Pokémon if they come from a non-standard Pokémon game or are received as a prize. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
* The OT will be highlighted as blue if it is a male Trainer or red if it is a female Trainer in Generations {{gen|III}} (except in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}), {{gen|IV}}, and {{gen|V}}. In Korean games, female OTs are highlighted in pink instead of red. This information is still stored in later games, but is no longer visible in-game. | |||
* In the Japanese versions of the [[Generation III]] games, Western OT names (like Western Pokémon names) are rendered as {{wp|Halfwidth and fullwidth forms|fullwidth}} characters, which limits the display of names to five characters. | |||
