Can affection be lost when the affection reward mechanism is triggered

pokemon-x-y

When the pokemon has sufficient hearts in the new affection mechanism in pokemon-amie, sometimes events such as surviving with 1HP occur during battle.

When this happens, one heart floats up and away from the pokemon.

Is this a "spending" of a "heart resource" that after a certain threshold would cause one heart to be lost in the pokemon-amie?

I've stopped petting/feeding/playing with that particular pokemon to find out but I can't conclude anything yet because I've not triggered the in-battle event many times.

Has anyone lost a heart in pokemon-amie? Is it possible to?

Best Answer

It seems that you cannot lose affection that has been gained in Pokemon Amie. The heart floating away, that's your pokemon saying "I love you, I got this in the bag, I have the force of will to keep fighting for you!"

Or something along those lines.
