Pok\u00e9mon are emotional creatures. Unless they\u2019re Charizard from the anime, they\u2019ll try to perform their duties no matter the circumstances, but they can show more initiative and become stronger if you also become friends with them.<\/p>
Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>and Violet<\/em> reintroduced the Friendship mechanic, and players will need to work on those friendship levels before they can start evolving their favorite Pok\u00e9mon. While one might expect to check friendship levels through an in-game menu item, the process requires some light traveling in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>and Violet<\/em>.<\/p>
Players will need to visit an NPC and talk to them so they can check where they stand with the members of their Pok\u00e9dex.<\/p>
