Noted how friendship gain is shown to the player.
(Added a history section to document changes to friendship over time. People hadn't started studying friendship in detail on December 10th, but the changes on that date can be extrapolated based on data that was collected before the date, as well as an official update log from that day that says "adjusted the game balance".) |

Pikmin visibly gain friendship after being fed nectar, after their expedition reward has been collected, and after the score of a challenge is displayed; this is shown by a heart briefly appearing above the Pikmin's head. If the friendship gain is enough to fill the current heart, the heart will persist for longer and expand with a special sound effect. | |||
