[[Jessie's Lickitung]], while generally obedient to Jessie, was shown in [[EP052|its debut episode]] to disobey Jessie once just prior to being defeated, with it being strongly implied in the Japanese version and to a far lesser extent the English dub that the primary reason for the disobedience was due to feeling hungry. | [[Jessie's Lickitung]], while generally obedient to Jessie, was shown in [[EP052|its debut episode]] to disobey Jessie once just prior to being defeated, with it being strongly implied in the Japanese version and to a far lesser extent the English dub that the primary reason for the disobedience was due to feeling hungry. | ||
[[Ash's Charmander]] refused to obey him after evolving into {{p|Charmeleon}}, and continued to disobey as a {{AP|Charizard}}. When Ash commanded him, he would either ignore Ash's orders and use a different move, go to {{status|sleep}}, leave the battlefield, or attack Ash.

When Ash commanded him, he would either ignore Ash's orders and use a different move, go to {{status|sleep}}, leave the battlefield, or attack Ash. In [[M01|one case]], he even attacked [[Mewtwo (M01)|a Pokémon]] without Ash telling him to do so. The rare instances where Charizard does express any obedience towards Ash is when fighting against another Pokémon that it sees as a worthy opponent, namely other {{type|Fire}} Pokémon such as [[Zippo]], a [[Mewtwo (M01)#Created|cloned Charizard]], or [[Blaine's Magmar]]. Charizard's disobedience ultimately cost Ash the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] when he deemed [[Sparky]] an unworthy opponent and refused to battle, causing the Mouse Pokémon and its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Ritchie]], to win by default. In addition, his lack of respect for Ash during that time was such that even after Ash [[EP063|won his Earth Badge]], he still refused to obey. After Ash stayed up all night to look after Charizard when he had become frozen in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard regained his respect for Ash. This character trait was severely downplayed in the remake to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution]]'', only really being showcased twice in the film: when attacking Mewtwo like in the original film and when he attacked Dragonite when it appeared. | ||
In ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', [[Otoshi]]'s {{p|Marowak}} left its Trainer after he lost and failed to recover his Badges, as Marowak had lost respect for him. Marowak later returned when it saw how happy a group of Trainers and their Pokémon were together. | In ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', [[Otoshi]]'s {{p|Marowak}} left its Trainer after he lost and failed to recover his Badges, as Marowak had lost respect for him.
