In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], it is called '''happiness'''. In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Complete Pokédex]]'' (page 19), it is called '''friendliness'''. | In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the List feature (a table containing Pokémon data which is accessible from the {{OBP|PC|Stadium}}) includes a "'''Tame'''" column which contains [[Friendship rating#Pokémon Stadium 2|short text descriptions]] about the friendship of each Pokémon. | ||
According to the in-game descriptions of {{m|Return}} and {{m|Frustration}}, friendship is known as "'''loyalty'''" in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, but in other games it is usually described in terms of how much a Pokémon "'''likes'''" or "'''dislikes'''" the Trainer. | |||
In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, the {{tc|Sailor}} in [[Gateon Port]] refers to this concept using the terms "'''friendly'''" and "'''friendliness'''" when explaining {{p|Eevee}}'s [[Eeveelutions|evolutions]]. | |||

===Friendship rating descriptions=== | |||
From {{game|Yellow}} onwards, the [[friendship rating|friendship raters]] use a wide variety of informal descriptions related to the Pokémon's friendship. For instance, if a Pokémon has a high friendship value, some raters may describe it as ''"happy"'', ''"trusts you"'', ''"attached to you"'', ''"friendly toward you"'', ''"likes you very much"'', or ''"adores you"'', among other examples. | |||
In particular, the only friendship rater who describes friendship as "taming" is the one in Pokémon Yellow, as seen in the possible quotes ''"Your Pikachu seems tamed."'' or ''"It seems like it hasn't been tamed at all."'' (in addition to the "Tame" data in Pokémon Stadium 2) | |||
If a Pokémon's friendship value is neither high or low, some possible comments include ''"looks neutral"'', ''"warming up"'', or ''"not quite familiar with you"''. If a Pokémon's friendship is low, this has been described including negative statements such as ''"looks mean"'', ''"looks evil"'', ''"very wary"'', or ''"has a vicious look to it"''. | |||
