(I discovered my pearl copy uses the platinum readings instead, so I think they're swapped. Put incomplete box, feel free to edit.) |

Friendship debuted in [[Generation I]] as a mechanic that applied only to the {{player}}'s Pikachu in {{game|Yellow}}. In [[Generation II]], it was expanded to cover all Pokémon. In all games, friendship is a value that ranges from 0 to 255 (stored as a single byte). In Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu's friendship is indicated by the expression it shows when the player talks to it, but in later games, [[#Raters|certain NPCs]] in the games will evaluate the friendship of a Pokémon in the player's [[party]]. | Friendship debuted in [[Generation I]] as a mechanic that applied only to the {{player}}'s {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}.

A Pokémon's friendship is generally set when the player first obtains it. When a Pokémon is first caught from the wild, its friendship starts at its [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] value. Trading a Pokémon also resets its friendship to its base value, unless it is being traded back to its [[original Trainer]] in [[Generation VI]] or later, in which case it regains the friendship it had before being traded away. A Pokémon caught in a {{ball|Friend}} starts with 200 friendship instead of its base friendship, while a Pokémon hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} starts with 120 friendship. | A Pokémon's friendship is generally set when the player first obtains it.
