This is usually caused by not having a high enough badge level. You need to defeat one or more gym leaders to increase the maximum level you can command. This is not necessary for Pokemon you have caught and raised yourself, but only for Pokemon gained in trade.

Charizard starts obeying Ash in the Orange League episode titled "Charizard Chills."
As you earn gym badges, your Pokemon obey you up to a higher and higher level. (i.e. lvl. 20, then lvl. 50, etc.). Your starter Pokemon will NOT automatically obey your every word if you level it up to a level that is higher than your gym badges allow (as far as obeying you goes). In other words, your starter Pokemon is really nothing special. I really hope that made sense.
the idiom:To carry out orders
In Pokemon their is options to trade Pokemon and u may have a high lvl Pokemon u want on the different game u want the Pokemon on. But during the certain time of the game u need to proceed into the game like beating the gym leaders. But if u trade the Pokemon like lvl 100 to a game were ur only at the 2nd gym, the Pokemon will disobay ur orders and ull get a message saying "ur Pokemon is loffing around" etc.
