Well, I just spent about half an hour maxing out affection on a Pokemon in Amie.
I like that it's kinda tedious for the rewards.
Best method to do so:
-Pat the Pokemon until it makes a music note in a speech bubble.
-Stuff it full of the best Pokepuffs you can (things with frosting and toppings are the best), or if you're starting out, stuff it full of the crappy ones to make room for the good stuff (it'll just go a little slower).
-Play a minigame twice to "reset" this. You're also better off playing the highest difficulty of the minigame (besides unlimited) to get the most high quality puffs. Eventually you will fill up the puffs, so you can just phone it in for the second game if you want.
-Keep repeating until the Pokemon is bursting with hearts and sparkles. This means you've "ranked up" the affection. You have to do this 5 times, and the affection will be maxed out and you'll get the benefits of Amie the most.
This'll take awhile at first but get faster as you get more high quality puffs. Also, this hasn't been confirmed, but it seems on many Pokemon, they have a preferred place to be patted. If you find it, their face will change to an even more content one, and you might get more hearts (the hearts are what determines how fast you rank up. I think you need 50 or so for each rank.)
Ok, I'm trying to do pokemonamie to boost my favourite pokemon, Shedinja. He doesn't eat puffs, he CAN'T. Also, he has no expressions or movements at all, other than tilting with you when you move your head, pretty frustrating. In other news, having a super trained Shedinja from level 20 in the game rocks, breezed through some big fights while the AI just gave up trying to hit it.
