Friendship
Requirements:
- Pokemon must have gained a minimum 3 Levels since capture before Friendship can be increased.
Keeping Track:
- Student's must keep track of "Friendship" for individual Pokemon the same way they would an "Egg Count" when hatching an Egg.
- Friendship Caps at 50 points.
Gaining Points:
- Pokemon Gain +3 points from participating in and winning a battle.
- Pokemon Gain +1 point from in-character interactions with their Trainer. This requires a non-combat post and for the Pokemon to be outside of the Pokeball. Simply walking beside their trainer in silence does not qualify as "in-character interaction". Pokemon and Trainer must interact verbally, or through action, strengthening their bond in the process.
Losing Points:
- Pokemon Lose -1 point when fainting in battle.
- Pokemon Lose -1 point every 3 battles they remain on a Pokelot. Pokemon with Max Friendship are protected for the first 6 battles.
