Friendship is monitored rather loosely on this board, seeing as it's mostly freeform. However, we do want to have friendship evolutions, so the following are the basic levels, and how one gets there, so on and so forth.
0 - Your Pokemon hates you! STOP KICKING IT!
1 - This is the basic level of friendship. All Pokemon start here, in this neutral state.
2 - Your Pokemon begins to trust you. It will obey your commands, as it has at level 1, but it might actually do them to the letter instead of adding it's own flair.
3 - Loyalty is earned, and trust is deserved at this level. Though the Pokemon won't stop boulders or part oceans for you just yet, you're getting there. Talking might be much easier.
4 - Well, well, aren't we chummy? Pokemon at this level of friendship are extremely happy with their trainers, and will do just about anything for them!
5 - Pokemon at this level have unconditional love for their trainers as their trainers have proved themselves in their eyes.
But how do I GAIN these friendship levels?
Quite simply really! All you have to do is roleplay it out! By that I mean, CHARACTERIZE! A Pichu, though naturally friendly, is also naturally a mouse and therefore probably rather wary of you! Roleplay out as to why! Pokemon are not going to automatically gain a level 5 friendship, so there are items that help you with that too! Any grooming, talking, spoiling, spending time with, etc you do with your Pokemon is either going to help it or hurt it! Keep that in mind!
