The '''Original Trainer''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|親|おや}}''' ''owner''), or '''OT''', of a Pokémon is the [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]] who caught or hatched the Pokémon in question first. The Original Trainer's name is used in conjunction with their [[Trainer ID number|ID number]] to verify which Pokémon are [[outsider Pokémon]] by the {{pkmn|games}}.

A Pokémon bred by a player which is traded as an Egg to another will be registered to the hatching Trainer, while the breeder will not matter. A [[Shadow Pokémon]] that has been snagged will initially display its OT as question marks, however, after becoming purified, it will have the person who purified it as its OT, with no mention made of the Trainer it was snagged from.

While a traded Pokémon doesn't really change in any way (with the obvious exception of those who evolve through this method), a Trainer lacking the proper Badges will be unable to control a Pokémon over a specified level; this issue is only encountered because said Trainer is not the original one. Only the OT can change the nickname of a Pokémon as well. A Pokémon will have a specified ID number (identical to their Original Trainer's) and without any sort of cheating device, it will stay the same as long as the creature's data remains in the game. Traded Pokémon will gain an additional 50% bonus to experience from battles, making them easier to level up. This also applies to experience gotten through [[Exp. Share]]—so if a single Pokémon would gain 1000 [[experience]] points from a battle, in the case of the Exp. Share division, the Pokémon without the Exp. Share would gain 500 experience points, and the Pokémon with it would gain 750.
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}}, and [[gender]]. Outsider Pokémon may [[Obedience|disobey]] its Trainer in battle if they lack the appropriate [[Badge]]s (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 whose language of origin is different to the game's language instead gain 70% more experience.
 
Only the Original Trainer of a Pokémon can change the [[nickname]] of a Pokémon.
 
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 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 being Shiny (Eggs obtained from event distributions and the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg) to be Shiny, as long as they are hatched in a game other than the game that generated them. In Generation VI, this can no longer happen.

In [[Black 2 and White 2]], the player will have the opportunity to catch Pokémon that were once used by [[N]] via the [[Memory Link]]. Though the player is the one that catches these Pokémon, the Pokémon will have N as the OT, making [[N's Pokemon]] [[outsider Pokémon]]. Like other outsider Pokémon, N's Pokémon receive boosted experience points.

==Trivia==
* The OT will be highlighted as blue if it is a male Trainer and red if the Trainer is female from [[Generation III]] onward (except in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}).
* The OT will be highlighted as blue if it is a male Trainer and red if the Trainer is female 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.
* There is a limit to the length of a Trainer's name. In the Japanese and Korean versions, the limit is five characters. In European language versions the limit is seven characters. In Japanese versions of [[Generation III]] games, there was a bug where the extra two characters of an international Pokémon's OT would not display. This also occurred with the extra five characters in Pokémon names.
* 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.
