Pursuit of Happiness

I really only give my Pokémon special happiness treatment if they get STAB Return or if they evolve with happiness. I'm so mean

 

Of course I love and give care to all my Pokémon, if it requires them to evolve, or maximize the strength of a certain move I'm using like Return.

Other than that though, I'm afraid all my Pokémon get the Silver treatment. They must battle their butts off to win, win, and win some more!

 

I train them to fight. The more they fight the more I either get attached to them, or dislike them and stop using them. The happiness is just for evolving guys, and the ingame gets a bit.

 

I like raising happiness with the Pokémon I'm using on the team during a playthrough, anything else will probably be left in the box to never see the light of day;;
If I have a Pokémon that evolves through friendship I might go out of my way to raise it if I'm eager for the evolution, but usually I'll just let things happen over time

 

I usually give more priority to happiness for the Pokémon I usually like more. It really isn't for any other reason, but it's because I'll actually pay attention to those Pokémon.

 

Most of the time I care for my Pokémon. But if they are way to weak i leave em in the pc but take them out occasionally

 

I give love to all the Pokémon in my party.

Especially Gardevoir.

 

They say if you give a Pokémon this, they gain more happiness, and I kinda believe that. It's exactly like a soothe bell, but it's in mass quantities. I used to give this to tons of golbats and ran around a bit. The next day, they all evolved into Golbats!

 

If I have a Pokémon on my team that needs happiness to evolve such as Riolu and Golbat, I will focus all of my attention on increasing that Pokémon's happiness until it evolves. I equip those said Pokémon with Soothe Bells and treat them with daily massages to boost their happiness levels. Every once in a while though, I'll pamper my starter and favourite Pokémon a little as well.

 

I don't really care about happiness unless it required to evolve, which then I just grind it against weak wild Pokémon and wait until it evolves, heh.

When Pokémon Amie came around, I took care of my Pokémon in that, but only for extra EXP and stronger attacks.
