What's it like with Gardevoir? Kiga, I'm willing to bet you know that, since you have a game and a Gardevoir on the game. So, do you know? Because I want to know. Very badly. Right now. Even though it will "spoil" it for me later on. But it doesn't really spoil it for me. I have talked too much in too short sentences just now.
Well, Luna, and I'd assume other gardevoir like her, is pet-able, and she is submissive… When you pet the top of her head, she'll close her eyes and lean into the petting. You can pet from her head down the lengths of her arms, and she makes a somewhat cute chirping noise that is unlike her normal cry. When she likes the attention she receives, she'll do a short, one-armed bow, but when she doesn't, she'll flinch back and cross her arms over her chest. Apparently, it seems that the horns of hair under her, and not the pink horns, oddly, are sensitive enough that she doesn't like them being touched.
When she is being fed, she'll 'hold' the food with both hands to take large bites. She never gets too expressive, facially, though this could be because you can only see her from the front, and she tends to stay subdued and in control. She seemed happier and was more expressive as a kirlia. It's kind of as I thought before, they do take away from some of the 'human' aspects that they try to instill in pokemon, but the affection on her part could be due to the love she feels for you. It still feels odd to pet her, though. It's the same with Flair, my Delphox, honestly. But it is cute.
I did notice, back in the early game when I taught them all Return, that where others would make some sort of charging motion, she would backhand her opponents. It was rather amusing to watch.
Apparently, affection from Amie has some uses in battle. After a certain point, a happy pokemon will start receiving experience boosts, and will start developing the chance of self healing from status afflictions. I've not used Amie enough on a single pokemon to notice these effects, but I know that it involves a lot of petting.
I should warn you, CuteKirlia, as, even though this may be considered a spoiler, I don't think that you'd want to chance the possibility of missing out on catching a Ralts as early as possible, that Ralts can only be found on Route 4. I'm warning you because it took me a while to find one, and then a while longer female one after that, so it would be possible to miss it, if one were to rush through the route. I was actually looking for a for a white Flabebe at the time… Looking for her was actually quite reminiscent of Hoenn, only you just had to grind her one level, and not two, before she became viable for battle.
Edit: Curse you, poor Internet connection, for making me wait 'til morning. But yeah, forgot about the games. It pulls in three pokemon that you have with you, but will always include the one that you're playing with at the moment. You have a berry retrieval game, a puzzle, and I honestly haven't played the third game yet, because I've been content with the puzzle. You earn food for how well you score.
