I noticed that most of my team when I play them in Amie, they are always sleeping. All their conditions are okay, their at max affection level. Do they sleep more if you don't let them walk with you in the little Poke Amie play area? I'm just curious of the conditions. I originally thought it had something to do wit the current time. Ex. day time, all awake, night time, all sleeping. But apparently that's not the case.
Also, got 2nd badge. Just defeated 2 Lucarios by the trainer.
Might be the time of day. In the evening, real time, my Pokemon are usually sleeping, or they have their backs turned toward me. Need a tap to get their attention. During the morning and day, they're up. That's when Mewtwo got really demanding. He demanded attention NOW. OR ELSE.
When you say sleeping, do they have their backs turned toward you? I've never actually seen them sleep, but they'll have their backs turned toward me at times, so I thought that's what you meant.
Have you played with the facial recognition software? They'll follow your head movements and request you make different expressions. The software isn't very precise. It won't register a small smile, and glasses make things difficult.
As for Lucario... His ears are his happy spot. He likes them pet.
