A prototype of the friendship system used by later games was introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, the last [[main series]] game of [[Generation I]]. Like the later system, its value ranged between 0 and 255 inclusive; however, this value was only applied to the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} the player [[starter Pokémon|started with]]. | A prototype of the friendship system used by later games was introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, the last [[main series]] game of [[Generation I]].

Unlike later games, since Pikachu is outside of its [[Poké Ball]], the {{player}} can turn and look at it at any time as it follows him around the overworld. Pikachu will then indicate its friendship in a small window that appears.

In [[Generation II]], the friendship system became fully implemented, building on the system used in Yellow by tracking the friendship of every Pokémon owned by the Trainer.

Friendship is set when a Pokémon is brought under a Trainer's control: that is, it is 70 when a Pokémon is captured from the wild, and reset to 70 when a Pokémon is traded from another game.

Another function was given to friendship in Generation II: the evolution of certain Pokémon, which has continued until the present as each generation introduces new Pokémon which evolve through friendship. Friendship-based evolutions occur when a Pokémon's friendship is 220 or higher. | Another function was given to friendship in Generation II: the evolution of certain Pokémon, which has continued until the present as each generation introduces new Pokémon which evolve through friendship.

If a Pokémon is caught in a {{ball|Luxury}} or is holding a {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Soothe Bell}}, all friendship-raising events will increase the Pokémon's friendship by one point more; friendship-lowering events are not affected. These effects stack on each other, meaning a Pokémon in a Luxury Ball holding a Soothe Bell gets two additional points per event. | ||

Friendship is very much the same in Generation V as it was in Generation IV. As far as it has been tested, friendship conditions and related items are much the same, with the main differences being in what NPCs will rate and measure friendship. A lady in [[Nacrene City]] will rate the friendship of the player's Pokémon. Another lady, in the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] located in [[Icirrus City]] will also rate the friendship of the player's Pokémon. A third lady in [[Castelia City]] will massage one of the player's Pokémon per day, raising its friendship. She is located in the first building on the left side of {{DL|Castelia City|Castelia Street}}. | Friendship is very much the same in Generation V as it was in Generation IV.
