Happiness or friendship?

Question

Does a Pokemon with the opposite gender from the trainer gain happiness or friendship faster?

Answer 1

No.
The happiness of a Pokemon is not affected by the gender of a trainer. It can be affected in several ways, such as battling, fainting, or trading the Pokemon.
Note: Here is a popular belief of friendship:

• Putting a Pokemon in the box lowers friendship. This is false; after all, you can only carry 6 Pokemon in your team...

You can read all about it here:
Friendship

Just to clarify: Happiness and friendship is the same thing.
I'll probably add more information later; hope this helped!

Huh... well, if I remember correctly, when I looked at Lucario's pokedex entry on here, it said Riolu evolved by friendship, then with Chansey,  it said it evolved by happiness on here.... isn't that odd?
