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!"

Even if two different saved games have the same Trainer name, and (although rare) a matching ID number, Pokémon from the games may be outsiders to each other because of a third value: a hidden, [[secret ID]]. In the event that all three values match, the Pokémon may be traded without being classed as outsiders. This has a 1 in 4,294,967,296 (2<sup>-32</sup>) chance of occurring.
