A Pokémon with an [[original Trainer]] different from its current Trainer is referred to as an [[outsider Pokémon]], and will only obey a Trainer with the sufficient number of [[Badge|Gym Badges]] or [[Island challenge|Stamps]]. The [[friendship]] of a Pokémon is set to its [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] when it is traded from one game to another, unless returned to its original Trainer. In addition, a traded Pokémon's nickname cannot be changed by anyone but the original Trainer, even if it hasn't been given a nickname (however, in Gen VIII, outsider Pokémon without nicknames can be nicknamed). | A Pokémon with an [[original Trainer]] different from its current Trainer is referred to as an [[outsider Pokémon]], and will only obey a Trainer with the sufficient number of [[Badge|Gym Badges]] or [[Island challenge|Stamps]].

Traded Pokémon are identified by the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]] name and a five- or six-digit [[Trainer ID number|ID Number]]. Starting in [[Generation III]], even if two games have the same name and ID number, each Trainer also has a [[secret ID number]]. The odds of two Trainers having the same secret ID numbers is 1/65536 or approximately 0.002%, making it extremely unlikely that an outsider Pokémon will be treated as a regular Pokémon on a different cartridge. | Traded Pokémon are identified by the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]] name and a five- or six-digit [[Trainer ID number|ID Number]].
