Visualizing Friendship

There are two options to visualize a Pokémon´s friendship ingame. First option is to take a look at the friendship bar next to the Pokémon´s Health bar appearing on your Pokémon´s Info Card. A disadvantage of this method is that no number is shown up and you have to estimate the exact number. Second method is to use the Ingame Command /happy party-slot number which will visualize the exact ammount of happiness into the chat.
