Are these the same thing? e.g. does increasing Affection give more power when using Return and cause Eevee to evolve into Espeon or Umbreon? The page isn't clear about this.

:They're different things. It does actually get mentioned at the end of the second paragraph on the page, but it doesn't stand out a whole lot. (It's also mentioned right at the beginning of the Gen VI section on [[Friendship]].)

== Affection across Multiple Games == | |||
With ɷRαS coming out in a few months, I've been wondering how exactly Affection is handled across multiple games. The article states that trading to another game will nullify the affection, and trading back to the OT will restore it. However, if you have two "owners" (e.g. Banking a PkMn between two games frequently), are both affections remembered, or only the OT? | |||
I have theorized that one addition to the data structure for GenVI is a variable-size "extra data" section, which would help facilitate Bank's goal of backwards compatability (by having future generations register their new elements in the section, while older generations would ignore but keep the contents). I think that Affection would have to be in said section in order to remember the OT's Affection level without completly preventing the new trainer from improving Affection. If this is the case (and not it just being done so there are seperate OT and CT (current trainer) Affection values), then it seems logical to me that a reasonable number of trainers could be "remembered".
