Dr. Footstep's house

Dr. Footstep is a game character who lives on the left side of Route 213 in a small house on the beach. An expert on footprints, he gives ribbons to Trainers who have friendly Pokémon. He determines this based on their footprints.

Interestingly, he can tell what a Pokémon feels about their trainer even if they do not leave footsteps.

Levels and quotes

Dr. Footstep has four different ratings on Pokémon friendship. These reflect the amount and size of hearts shown on the Friendship Pokétch application. All quotes vary depending on the Pokémon.

  • Level 1 (no hearts) - "Humans can't understand the cries of Pokémon, nor our feelings. However, there are some among us that understand human speech...Hehehe, Trainer, you're not bad for a human.
  • Level 2 (one small heart) - "If a Pokémon were to travel along, it would be limited as to where it could go. But traveling with a human, a Pokémon would be able to travel farther afield to more distant cities and lands. Traveling with Trainer has been rewarding and reassuring. And very entertaining..."
  • Level 3 (two medium hearts) - varies depending on Pokémon.
  • Level 4 (two large hearts/maximum happiness) - Trainer is...A remarkable human and Trainer. That I can always perform the best any Pokémon possibly can...I attribute that entirely to my partner Trainer. When we travel I can see wild Pokémon eying us enviously..."
