Hello, I thought I'd ask folks here for their takes/theories on the meaning behind base friendship. Most Pokemon have a base friendship value of 50, including the starters, but some, such as Mewtwo, start off with 0. I see some discussion online about Bunneary having a base value of 0 because of its skiddish nature- a great explanation! Which leads me to wonder: what do other friendship values besides the standard 50 say about a Pokemon? Legendaries seem to have lower than average, I assume because they're wary of humans. Apparently Croagunk's is 100, so is it a unusually friendly Pokemon? Luxio's is higher than Shinx AND Luxray! What could it mean?! I'm dying to hear theories! (First time poster, apologies if this post isn't well-written)
