How to Get the Friendship App in Platinum

In "Pokemon: Platinum Version," some Pokemon, like Riolu, Eevee and Pichu, only evolve when they are sufficiently happy. Figuring out how a Pokemon feels about you is usually difficult. With the Friendship Checker app for your Poketch device, though, you can check your Pokemon's feelings from any location. This lets you know when a Pokemon is happy enough to evolve. You get the Friendship Checker app for free when you visit the Pokemon Center in Eterna City.
