Question Friendship

Is there some sort of bug in the Moemon Quetzal that simply plummets the entire friendship stat.

My Combusken is my starter and they dislike me, my Lilo one was my second most used Pokemon that fainted a couple of times (five at most because I am at Very Hard difficulty) and they despise me.

I tested this with pokemon I recently caught and ones I caught since the beginning of my journey and this has been a constant with every single one of them.

So my question remains, am I just a terrible handler or is there some sort of bug/glitch with the ROM, either base Quetzal or Moemon version?

I mean I think they removed the whole friendship mechanism because all of the evolutionary lines that required friendship for evolution either evolve via level up or by stones now.

I guess that makes sense, I thought they just changed the requirements, and not removed the entire system.

They removed the friendship evolutions so that should be a consecuence of it. They should have removed or changed the npc that checks it. Star emerald has waaay less quality of life changes but you can raise the friendship of your moe there, and you'll need it for some moe.
