Has anyone found any other benefits of Amie? Have maxed out a couple of Pokémon and there seem to be a few interesting things that happen.

Not 100% sure if you gain an EXP randomly after you defeat a Pokémon. I've seen a hand come in and pet the Pokémon after they've defeated another and it seemed like the EXP gain was significantly higher than it was from previous Pokémon of the same species and level in the area.

Pokémon who your close to get a different effect when they're release from their ball too. Could go on with a few other things I've seen, but want to know what else there could be.

Also, anyone know anyone have any idea why I have a permanent EXP boost on all Pokémon? (I think it's all anyway)
