Why won't makuhita listen to me!!!

Question

On ruby, I traded that makuhita for a slakoth to beat Roxanne, its level 14, I have the badge, and it won't obey me! Doesn't the first badge make Pokemon up to level twenty obey you, the second level 30, and so on?

Answer 1

In Ruby, the first Badge doesn't make the Pokemon obey you. You will have to get the second Badge make Pokemon up to Lv 30 obey you.

If you look at the chart, it says that you don't need a badge in the Hoenn League for Pokemon up to level 20 to obey you.

I think that gap means there is no badge to make Pokemon obey you at Lv 30-.

Also, as seen here http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Badge#Hoenn_League
the said badge doesn't give any obedience.

Pokemon levels 1-20 obey you by default I believe.
