This is one thing that always made me wonder since the RBY days. How, exactly, do badges convince Pokemon to obey a trainer? How do they convince them to use HMs outside of battles? Has this ever been explained, or at least theorized? I also remember the manuals saying that -all- Pokemon would fail to obey you past a certain level, including your own, while this only applied to traded Pokemon. Do the manuals still say this, or has it been changed in recent games?
