Friendship - Rangi42/polishedcrystal GitHub Wiki
From LGPE and Gen. VIII onwards, Friendship (commonly referred to as Happiness, as used in Polished Crystal's code) has merged Affection. Polished Crystal reflects the latest mechanics while also retaining the Gen. II flavour, resulting in a hybrid style. The Affection bonuses can be turned on/off in the gameplay preferences.
