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 {{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}}. These special instances are different 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. <!--Contributor is not sure if it will still be an outsider, so someone else who knows will say so-->

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.
