In Generation V, the Befriending Power [[Pass Power]] boosts any increase to friendship by one to three points depending on the strength of the power used. In Generation VI, the Befriending Power [[O-Power]] has the same effect. Befriending Power does not exist in [[Generation VII]]. | In Generation V, the Befriending Power [[Pass Power]] boosts any increase to friendship by one to three points depending on the strength of the power used.

None of these effects | None of these effects change the amount of friendship lost for negative changes or for changes of 0 (such as using an [[X Attack]] on a Pokémon with high friendship). | ||

In {{game|Yellow}}, there is a friendship system exclusively for the player's {{ga|Red's Pikachu|starter Pikachu}}. Any Pikachu that the player is the [[Original Trainer]] of (according to their Original Trainer name and [[Trainer ID number]]) is treated as the player's starter Pikachu. Raichu and {{pkmn2|Outsider}} Pikachu are not affected, even if the Raichu was the player's starter Pokémon but evolved (which can only be done by first [[trade|trading]] it to another game). | In {{game|Yellow}}, there is a friendship system exclusively for the player's {{ga|Red's Pikachu|starter Pikachu}}.

If the player interacts with Pikachu, a window will pop up showing Pikachu's face, and the expression is affected by Pikachu's current friendship (though certain special events may elicit special reactions unrelated to Pikachu's current friendship). At maximum friendship, Pikachu jumps up and down before the window appears. | ||
In [[Cerulean City]], [[Melanie]] gives the player a {{p|Bulbasaur}} if the starter Pikachu's friendship is 147 or higher. The player does not need to have Pikachu in the party or even in the game itself to receive this Bulbasaur. This is the only sign of friendship outside of interacting with Pikachu. | In [[Cerulean City]], [[Melanie]] gives the player a {{p|Bulbasaur}} if the starter Pikachu's friendship is 147 or higher.

There is a single friendship value per game, and it remains even if the starter Pikachu is traded away. Trading away Pikachu will decrease its friendship, but this decreased value will be remembered when it returns. If the player has multiple Pikachu which qualify as their starter Pikachu in a single game, all of these Pikachu share the same friendship value, so any friendship-modifying event applies to all of them. | There is a single friendship value per game, and it remains even if the starter Pikachu is traded away.

This does not consume the item, so the same item can repeatedly increase Pikachu's friendship. Waking Pikachu up with the [[Poké Flute]] (either in or out of battle) does not change its friendship. | ||
