"Can we all stop to appreciate how nice the affects of Refresh can be?"

When I first heard about refresh, I thought it was going to be an annoying waste of time for little benefit(like these kinds of things have been in the past, barring particular evolutions)But then when I started raising affection in SuMo, I noticed the boosted EXP from battles. Then I started noticing the text talking about how Salandit was admiring the scenery or looking at me as if it knows what to do. Then it started landing critical hits to please me. Then it started shaking off status effects. Then it survived a hit with 1 HP to please me.I'm loving this functionality, now. I've only beaten certain totems because of that Endure ability.Overall, I feel like the games are finally getting closer to the anime in the sense that the pokemon feel a bit more like partners and less like mindless monster battle slaves.Anyone have good experiences with these new mechanics?
