How to Make a High Level Traded Pokémon Obey You

High-level traded Pokemon in "Pokemon LeafGreen" and "Pokemon FireRed" will only obey you in battle consistently if they respect you. The only way to get traded Pokemon to respect you is by having Gym Badges, which are earned by defeating Gym Leaders in a Pokemon battle. The more Gym Badges you have, the higher the level your traded Pokemon can be and still obey you. The purpose of this is so that new players do not simply trade with one of their friends for a high-level Pokemon at the beginning of the game, which would make the game too easy.
