Memory (game mechanic): Difference between revisions

This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Any differences in possible quotes in X and Y; details about memories (descriptions for each location, etc.)

The Memory Girl (Japanese: おもいでむすめ Memory Girl) is a character in the Generation VI games that tells the player about a Pokémon's experiences with its current Trainer and original Trainer. In Pokémon X and Y, she stands outside the Pokémon Center in Anistar City, and has the appearance of a Furisode Girl. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, she stands outside the Pokémon Center in Lilycove City.

Memories

The memories range from meeting the Trainer for the first time, defeating wild Pokémon or Gym Leaders, using HM moves outside of battle, exploring various locations, 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 Bulbasaur hatched from an Egg: "Bulbasaur hatched from an Egg and saw Trainer 1 for the first time at... 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... a snow-swept road. The Pokémon remembers that it got nervous."

Pokémon received from events or 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.
