Bonus point if they win the match. Hero Points; You get a point if one of your characters save someone. Romance Points: You get a point if one of your characters falls in love, or someone falls in love with them. Event Points: In addition to characters, you draft an event, such as the team rocket motto, wobbofett popping out of its pokeball, handshakes/highfives, etc. If one of these eve
