Pokemon - Amie~!
A new feature in the games called Pokemon-Amie (amigo?) was introduced in the new promotional video today. It allows you to interact with your Pokemon a bit like NintenDogs. It helps your bond with your Pokemon grow stronger and I'm guessing it will help Eevee evolve to Sylveon.
What do you think about this feature and will yo be using it? |
lol "amigo" Wrong language :P
"Amie" is "friend" (feminine) in French. They're just going further with the French influence in-game. I'll definitely be using it. I think it's great; I always found NintenDOGs wasn't fit as a 100% game on its own (more like a mini-game) so I never bought it. Waste of money. If it's semi-integrated into Pokemon, then that'll be fantastic <3 |
I assume this is the new bonding system they were talking about. I think it's a nifty little feature, it will help to evolve those Pokemon that require maximum happiness too.
|
This is more than likely the new bond feature that many people were talking about for a long time now. I like it! The fact that you can interact with your Pokémon in more ways than just having them following you (Yellow, DPPt, and HG/SS) and actually be able to feed them and pet them is a cool touch. It may certainly help when it comes to evolving some Pokémon like Eevee, Riolu and others. I definitely plan on giving it a go. Hopefully it's as good as it sounds and looks.
|
I cannot wait any longerrrrr. This is so exciting! :D
|
I'll use Pokémon-Amie feature! That sounds like fun that we could interact with Pokémon like this.
|
It's a pretty good use of the new 3D graphics, something I'd hope they'd do - to be able to actually interact with your own Pokemon is a really nice touch.
|
I hope bonding actually makes Pokemon stronger, as that's what the whole universe is suppose to be about... Like Pokemon Conquest's bonding system.
|
It should at least bring some brief enjoyment. Hopefully it does actually add to a pokemon's happiness as that will make a lot of evolutions easier than they currently are.
Certainly a good substitute for Nintendogs if nothing else as well. Like Livewire said, it's a good use of the new graphics too. |
The feature reminds me of the Dream Eaters feature in Kh 3D...considering how much time I spent on that I can already see how much time I'll be spending on this...a lot of time.
I like the follow feature, it seems sort of unique for these kind of mini games. |
Would be cool if we could have both in a future game.
Also I love the linguistic bonus in the name of it, as amie is French for friend and this region is based on said nation ^_^. |
This seems good as finally we get to treat pokemon as pets and not just 'I catch you, you follow every command I say and get beaten to a pulp by other pokemon'
|
I expect lots and lots of scratches incoming on my 3DS XL's bottom screen's screen protector. Who knows? Maybe I'll use this because I find it adorable.
|
I can't wait to try this with some of my favorite Pokemon, it will be cute!
|
Finally a feature that makes Pokemon less like robots, I hope this makes it easier to obtain evolutions that need Happiness ^_^ but I don't want to take my Pokemon to poop every 5 seconds like in Digimon World :P
|
This seems pretty neat.
It might even replace the pokemon following you feature as something that makes us more attached to our pokemon. |
At last I can pet and feed my Pokémon! It's a dream come true! You can even give them high-fives~ And they react to your real-life facial movements! It's all so great! <333
|
It looks like an awesome feature, and one that I'm ridiculously excited to try out! :D I've wanted something like this ever since the Pocket Pikachu haha. :) Like several others have said, it will be cool to be able to treat our Pokemon as pets for once.
|
Soooo cuute! I can't wait to cuddle with pikachu =3 ~!
|
This is the feature that has me most excited about X/Y. I'll admit that I'm a huge sucker for virtual pets, and this is just perfect. It's a lot like NintenDogs (which I did buy because PUPPIES!), only this isn't the whole game. I can travel around the main game with my Pokemon, and then at the end of the day just cuddle them and play games with them.
Between this and the Pokemon turning to you in battle as they wait for your command, it's great to finally see the creatures they proclaim as our "best friends" in the game as actual creatures instead of battling robots. Pikachu was so adorable wanting you to follow its directions~ |
I - quite literally - cried with happiness when I saw this feature. ;W; This is something I've always wanted, ever since the beginning! I get attached to my Pokémon as-is, and with this feature I'll be able to have a bond with them! ;w;
Oh, so many feels. The title is even more of a play-on-words than I've seen mentioned so far (if someone mentioned and I didn't see it, sorry! D: ): "Mon amie" is French for "my friend." (Feminine form) PokéMON-AMIE. They worked the whole phrase, not just "friend," into it! The French student in me is elated. 8D |
Amie is probably one of the nicest things that could happen to pokemon games :) Its amazing and I'll use it as much as I can! I've also got a strange feeling we might get new Pikachu's split evolution using Pokemon Amie <--- Its just me maybe xD

It's so Clever! The Follow me feature is graphically challenging to do and take time away from other features. Pokemon-amie allows us to interact with our friends in a separate view. They won't join us on the overworld map, but this is a good compromise. I hope we can add riddons or something to make each one look unique! |
*high-fives Quincy*
I agree with the rest of what you said, too~ A dress-up mode would be neat. XD |
I'm interested in finding out how they integrate it into the game and make it truly operative...or whatever.
Thumbs up so far from me :) |
Hmmm....I really like this feature, sure....but.....
I'm just trying to imagine using this feature with Pokemon like Mewtwo and Metagross.....do you think that they will limit which Pokemon can utilize certain things within Pokemon-Amie? |
I'm way more excited for this than i should be, it looks awesome!! :D
Seems like a pretty fun minigame concept, i hope it will help to raise EV'S |
This makes me sooooo happy. Like. I didn't get the chance for Petilil to follow me around, but now I can PET one. And FEED one. And PLAY with one. PLAYING WITH PETILIL. YOU GUYS. I'm never going to finish the game, I swear lol. I'll be so distracted by all this. ~_~
|
Using the Pokémon-Amie feature the player was feeding their Pokémon what looked like a poffin, do you think they will be returning?
|
I hope not. Making Poffins was rather annoying imo. It was more interactive than making Pokeblocks, but not as fun to me. I think that maybe they'll have some sort of new treat in these games.
|
They looked like Macaroons to me. XD I do wonder if we'll have to make them... Maybe we can buy them? :3
|
the treat reminded me of the ice cream scoops from DW. Maybe it's Mochi (Japanese ice cream).
|
I wish we could make our own food and buy it already made.
The ''home-made'' food will have a success rate and the bigger the success rate the better while the bought ones will have a set success |
Metagross is smiling. He wants you to smile back.
...Which part is his face? |

|
...I love this feature. I always wished that I could reward my pokemon when they do something right. For example, when all of my pokemon are dead but one, and it's an intense gym battle and my pokemon crits and wins it, then whoever landed the crit gets free macaroons! :D (And the rest gotta try harder)
|
Wait... you can interact with your pokemon? OMG FINALLY ;_; I have been waiting to this forever! Now I am even more excited about the games!
*___* ;.; *tears of joy* |
I'd rather just forcefeed my Pokemon medicine while it holds a Soothe Bell.. No matter.
If this helps get the friendship up fast, I'm all for it. That crap can get tedious. |
I got the PokeMon-Amie thing right off. I thought the wordplay was fairly obvious the way the voice over said it. Plus, come on, when isn't anything localized in Pokemon wordplay or a pun?
Having said that, this feature is the only reason I even care again. I agree with everyone else who said it makes Pokemon more than monster shaped robots, and honestly I can't get behind the games when that's all they are. I'm still skeptical overall about my enjoyment of the game as a whole, I dunno how far gone I am at this point, but I'll definitely try it at least to play around with this feature, and to see what effect it has on the game overall. It only makes sense to finally integrate how the Pokemon feel about things in a game titled Pokemon. I've never been interested in how Red/Blue/Purple/whoever and the wafer-thin NPCs feel. However, I can begin to care when I can feel a connection between Pokemon and trainer, something that feels real. I'd love to see some character development in the creatures (outside Mystery Dungeon). It would be amazing if each Pokemon had their own personality based on their, well, personalities (or Natures, whatever). The way you have to bond with them would be different. Let's use Pikachu. A timid Pikachu would act differently than a Hardy one, and it would show in its actions. Effectively, you can have a few Pikachu that are all different from each other, which makes them all unique (or only as unique as there is a total number of Natures). However, the treatment of each would be different. What works for the Hardy Pikachu may not go over very well with the timid one. This alone will add a LOT of depth to the creatures, something only seen in the anime and manga (and even then not always). How you bond with it in spite of or because of its nature, will become your own personal story. You're not just RPing a kid doing the same thing every other kid has been doing for the past 5 generations (sure, the way you went about it is all you, but still, only so many unique ways to talk about how you took down the Elite Four). Pokemon are supposed to be your friends (not robots, not even pets, really), we've never really seen that beyond some empty dialouge. Just like you don't expect everyone you meet iRL to all act the same way, I'd really appreciate that with Pokemon within the same species. I'm probably wishing big, here, but I can't tell you how much I can't get enough of this sort of thing. |
I love this idea so much - it's awesome that Pokemon have become more than just: catch, battle, Elite Four and any other things you all do. It feels like this new twist will be something epic. Feeding your Pokemon Macaroons (which is more likely considering they have a French origin) and petting your favourite pokemon. Geez, I'm already grinning. xD
Apparently, Pokemon-Amie helps boost the amount of times you land a critical hit and how many times you dodge - Not sure how that works but whatever xD |
I hope this will be something that will be fun to do for awhile not just play with it for an hour then never touch it again. it would also be cool if there were tricks you could teach them. I basicly want the full nintendogs game in pokemon

I wonder how this feature will affect our adventures, I already get attached to the pokemon over the course of the story....I wonder if this will make me even more attached. |
i really happy to see that pokemon-amie help pokemon in battle.
since gen 2 we are hearing all the time that if love our pokemon be friend with them thats how they will reach their full potential. but it really didn't have any meaning, those words seems even more meaningless when gen 3 introduced EVs and IVs. but now we really see our pokemon getting stronger if we will love. this is really a nice feature. |
first thing i thought of when i heard about pokemon-amie...........
.....gardevoir :P ...... |
I'm guessing this new bonding system is how Eevee will evolve into Sylveon? It definitely gives me the Dream Eaters vibe from Dream Drop Distance, as interacting with them increases their strengths and EXP points, and I like to see how GF will implement that with Pokemon-Amie. What I do fear about this feature is the inevitable R34 images with furbait-material Pokemon such as Gardevoir and Zoroark (there's already distrubing images of the Machamp line with Pokemon-Amie on 4chan).
|
yeah i saw that one lol. but i aint into machamps or zoroarks...
|
If you can feed Pokemon, I wonder how much food a snorlax would want?
I'm so going to catch one. It will automatically love me for feeding it. And I'll name it McDonalds like I do for every snorlax on my team. |
I think that the feature is useless, but it looks fun anyways. There was a feature similar to it in Kingdom Hearts: DDD and I utilized it. When your bored the feature can be fun to use I guess.
|
It's a bit early to be calling the feature useless, we don't know how strongly it affects battling yet.
We might find ourselves having to use pokemon amie or face consequences later on. (Pokemon feeling neglected might start to ignore your orders) That would be kinda annoying but on the other hand it would make sense realistically. |
I really don't think they'll limit the Pokemon one can use in Pokemon-Amie, since that certain Pokemon would/could have a disadvantage compared to one that can be fed and pet. Also, i don't think they'll go as far as ignoring your orders because you haven't played with them. Pokemon-Amie feels more like a minigame that grants you some kind of reward, but doesn't punish you if you don't use it. At least thats how it should work imo
|
Pokemon-amie just seem to take on the system of Digimon World on ps1 and the recent sequel on PsP that come out on 3DS in the next days. Pokemon-amie is almost the same thing as a tamagotchi, since Digimon is pretty much based on tamagotchi.
|
crap feature. they shouldnt do it. they should use the extra space to add sometin moar usefull and better
|
I love this feature! I'm already getting giddy thinking about it.
Like another said, my biggest hope is that Pokemon with different natures behave differently, though. It would feel a little shallow if all Pokemon behaved completely the same. It'll be amusing to see Pokemon like Starmie, Honedge and a couple other odd-looking Pokemon in Pokemon-amie. How does Honedge eat, exactly? |

I wonder if you'll be able to buy toys and play with them with your pokemon, like in Nintendogs.

Imagine bathing them... |
Pokémon Amie seems like it will be a lot of fun!
|
I think what I like most about this is that it makes the whole bonding system people were talking about and makes it a heck of a lot simpler. It's pretty simple interactions that don't seem to have their own stat or anything, just helps you interact and raise happiness (at least I'm assuming). Seems like a fun way to make the games seem more interactive and to really feel like your Pokémon are your companions, as opposed to a bunch of pixels in a game.
|
I love the idea of bonding with your pokemon, still wish they kept the follow me feature
|
Quote:
|
Looks cool, but I don't know... It's just like Nintendogs
|
I love it :3 I cannot wait to try it out :3
|
i dont think anyone else as mentioned this.
but i was reading up on the pokemon x and y site on this and it says "The more you play with your Pokémon, the friendlier they will become. As your Pokémon becomes more friendly, it may perform better in battle—by avoiding opponents’ attacks, landing critical hits, and more!", so it seems that this new Pokémon-Amie is more then just a way to inact with ur pokemon and so their other benfits to using this new feature |
Its useless to pokemon who don't evolve by friendship so far.

|
So far I liking this new feature. I wonder what would if it nice to it pokes, like I wonder if their will be negative effects, such as it poke won't listen to u
|
Quote:
Some people are considering what effect this will have in competitive... will this result in surefire moves like Thunderbolt missing and crits flying about everywhere? I do not believe it will. I think it will either: (1) If 2 pokemon have the same Pokemon-Amie bond level, then the extra hax will just cancel itself out. So if one Pokemon has 90% bond filled and one pokemon has 100% filled, then instead of both of them critting and dodging non-stop, that the two bond levels would cancel out, so that one pokemon just has a 10% bond, with only a slight influence on extra hax. OR (2)Outside of story mode, Pokemon Amie will be ignored. Some things worth considering... (1) Will CPUs, like gymleaders, the professor, and Elite 4, have maxed out bond levels? They're always lecturing us about treating our pokemon with love, so it'd be silly if Gamefreak coded it so that it only benefitted the protagonist. (2) Will Pokemon Amie deplete over time? Think of games like Animal Crossing, where your neighbors disappear. Or even in the actual games, where your berry plants can disappear if you haven't watered them in forever. Or in Diamond/Pearl, if you don't polish your badges on a daily basis, they start to get rusty. If so,this would be annoying for casual players who only like to pick up their pokemon game every now and then, or those who don't want to pet a boxful of pokemon on a weekly basis. Quote:
|
I never really thought about it, but I don't see it being too drastic. I mean maybe a +1 to evasion and accuracy if it raises those. It could be a fleeting use type of thing that wears off fairly quickly.
I dunno...I don't really want to think too much about it until more info is actually given. |
Quote:
|
I like how this way you can literally interact with your Pokémon in order to raise the happiness, it is how it should be! ;;
|
From what I've heard, Pokemon-Amie will raise a bonding level separate from friendship, although I cannot find a source.
|
as said by shrew, i believe that outside the main in game this feature will be useless, but i still think if would cool if ur pokes keep the littles bonus when playing online and maybe the feature should do something like like u limited number of these small bonus and u can allot as u feel
|
Quote:
|
It does seem different than just the friendship thing and I lke that it will benefit your Pokemon more than just raising a friendship level. I'd like to think that it won't deplete over time, though that would encourage more use of the feature. Overall it seems a quite thing that can also help your Pokemon and I like the concept of interacting more with them than just battling with them.
|
Can we dress 'em up!? Huh, huh!? Oh, we can just feed them pretty patties and make stupid faces to please them.
No thank you. |
Quote:
Although I can understand your contempt, because Pokemon Amie is making this type of stuff have actual effects in battles, whereas previously you could ignore it with no consequences. |
Hmmmmmm...
This feature to me can get a little weird if you can use it on every Pokemon. Although personally I always wanted to pet my Dialga and tell it what a good Time Lord it is. |
Quote:
Pokeamie is probably useful but I'm not making stupid faces and talking to them Hey You, Pikachu style. Eat all of the pretty patties you want (most Pokémon don't have tongues anyway...) but I'm not embarrassing myself for some fake creature's amusement. |
I can't believe no one has mentioned this. One of the guests from the Pokemon Game Show revealed a few screenshots that you're able to abuse your own Pokemon in Poke Amie. ;_;
|
WAT. D8
I have not heard of this! Can you find them? |
Quote:

Quote:
|
This feature is an excellent idea for players to 'bond' with their Pokemon, rather than just giving it Vitamins and massages from NPCs which is hardly interactive... I'll definitely be using this feature, It's quite interesting to interact with our Pokemon face to face.
|
So, this feature helps Pokemon to evolve. The ones that are based on happiness.

amigo is friend in spanish

If anyone has a source for this, do link! Quote:
I laughed as I played peek-a-boo burying their dead bodies ^Referencing that your pokemon will get benefits in-battle for this. Quote:
|
I loved walking with pokemon in Yellow and HG/SS. I'm also obsessed with Nintendogs. (I chose it as my first DS game over Diamond! *sobs in guilt*) I'm going to use this feature like crazy!
|
I can't wait try Pokémon Amie! As long as it isn't as boring as Pokémon Contents and Pokéwood and it actually makes as big of an impact on the main game as they are making it out to be!

After reading the recent information we've got about the Pokemon Amie, I officially want to use it! I hope we can use it in-game, and don't need the internet for it like we did with the Dream World.
|
Wow..
Okay after Evasion and Critical Hit Bonuses being confirmed I have been disgusted with GF. These types of hax is what ruins the game and makes it much less competitive and much more luck based (and easily abusable.) If this is true then I honestly might not even get Pokemon X/Y. Why do they have to implement this. Any other bonuses would of been fine.. :/ |
Quote:
|
Quote:
|
Is it me or with those battle effects Gamefreak wants the game to be closer to the anime in terms of they evading attacks and surviving certain impossible hits like they do in the anime
|
Quote:
As for Pokemon-Amie, I am really excited about it. I always hated the happiness evolution process in other games... so tedious & not at all fun! This seems way more realistic anyways, so I really hope it's connected to happiness level. |
Quote:
I'm sure that gamefreak will have a way of making this balanced. For all we know, the increase might be very minimal. It might make a 100 accuracy move hit at like 95 accuracy. Critical hits could increase by 5%. I think there will be drawbacks as well. Maybe certain stats are decreased like when how things that make your Pokemon friendly also decrease your stats. I wouldn't start judging things before we know everything about them.(Unless we do, and I'm wrong, and everything has been revealed to be like you said. :p) |
Quote:
I'd personally like to see the above things implemented in a pokemon action game, which mimics the amine much more closely, as opposed to the traditional turn-based battling. |
Very excited. Finally an amazing way to bond with your pokemon!
|
I think that it's a very cute feature. I am really hoping that the little macaroons are not unlimited though. I really miss being able to grow berries so having them back or another means to grow a food item would be lovely. I would be in heaven if they had a little kitchen place and you had to bake your own. I will definitely play the little side game no matter how it works because I find it adorable, plus I love Nintendogs.
