Footprint: Difference between revisions

[[Dr. Footstep]] on {{rt|213|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]] is a footprint expert who can evaluate a Pokémon's friendship simply by looking at its tracks. In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], and [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], he will hand out a Footprint Ribbon to Pokémon with a high [[friendship]] value. Even Pokémon who do not have a footprint can be tested to get the Ribbon. Dr. Footstep has five different ratings on Pokémon friendship, which reflect the amount and size of hearts shown on the Friendship [[Pokétch]] application. The quotes vary depending on which Pokémon is being examined. Different Pokémon have different sets of responses, such as {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon saying that they are scary and shunned, and inorganic Pokémon such as {{p|Magnemite}} only make the noise "Sssshhnnn". If a Pokémon receives a Level 5 rating, Dr. Footstep will award it a {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Footprint Ribbon}}.  

In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], the ribbon is again given out by [[Dr. Footstep]]. Unlike the original games, the ribbon is awarded to Pokémon who have gained at least 30 levels since they were caught or received. For "voiceless" Pokémon, however, the ribbon is given out for reaching max friendship instead. The follow Pokémon are considered [[Dr. Footstep/Quotes|"voiceless"]]:
