Pokémon-Amie artwork

Pokémon-Amie (Japanese: ポケパルレ Poké Parley) is a feature in Pokémon X and Y that allows the player to develop stronger bonds with their Pokémon. It uses the touch screen to allow players to pet, feed, and play with Pokémon currently on their team. Players may interact with their Pokémon by petting or feeding them via the touchscreen or mimicking their movements using the camera.

Playing with a Pokémon increases its friendship with the player, and allows it to avoid attacks and land critical hits more often.

Name origin

The name is a play on the word Pokémon and the French phrase mon amie (meaning "my friend"), meaning my Pokémon friend.

The Japanese name, Poké Parley, is a play on the word Pokémon and the French word parler (meaning "to speak").
