>>17740640Friendship and happiness literally refer to the same thing. There is no ambiguity; no similarly-named mechanic is called "happiness," except for the newly-added affection, which refers exclusively to Amie and only affects one evolution. The only difference is that the game doesn't use the term "happiness" when you talk to a friendship checker (also a fan term).
Base Stats is the new term for EV's though, and X and Y establish this directly with Super Training. But people still say EV's all the fucking time because of possible ambiguity with the fan term "base stats."
You're a nitpicking asshole and because of you I will refer to the mechanic as happiness in all future posts.
