The memories range from meeting the Trainer for the first time, defeating [[wild Pokémon]] or [[Gym Leader]]s, using [[HM]] moves outside of battle, exploring various locations, [[Evolution|evolving]], etc. A Pokémon's memory may change over time as it has new experiences with its Trainer.
The memories range from meeting the Trainer for the first time, defeating [[wild Pokémon]] or [[Gym Leader]]s, using [[HM]] moves outside of battle, exploring various locations, [[Evolution|evolving]], etc. A Pokémon's memory may change over time as it has new experiences with its Trainer.


For example, the Memory Girl may say of a {{p|Bulbasaur}} hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}}: "Bulbasaur hatched from an Egg and saw ''Trainer 1'' for the first time at... [[Lumiose City|a large city]]. The Pokémon remembers that it was restless." Taking the Bulbasaur to be rated by the [[stats judge]] may change the memory to: "Bulbasaur was stared at by the Judge intensely when it met him with ''Trainer 1''. The Pokémon remembers that it felt proud." If the Bulbasaur is then traded to another player, in addition to the most recent memory with the original Trainer, the Memory Girl may add: "And... Bulbasaur became ''Trainer 2'''s friend when it arrived via Link Trade at... {{rt|17|Kalos|a snow-swept road}}. The Pokémon remembers that it got nervous."

If the Bulbasaur is then returned to its original trainer, it will retain its memory from the previous trainer, but it will not remember the previous trainer if traded to a third trainer.


Pokémon received from [[Event Pokémon|events]] or [[Poké Transporter|transferred]] from a [[Generation V]] game won't have any memories of their original Trainer; the Memory Girl will say "The Pokémon seems to have a good memory, but it doesn't seem to be able to remember..." They may still make new memories with their current Trainer however.
