Mail: Difference between revisions

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Mail can be edited much easier than on the Game Boy games because of its use of the C-buttons to control the highlighter.

Mail in Generation III contains nine spaces, four rows of two spaces with a fifth row containing one space, in which a message can be entered. Unlike Generation II, the message is [[easy chat system|restricted to certain words]] pre-programmed into the game. The only words that can be added to the list of words are ones obtained from {{DL|Old guys|the Hipster}} in [[Mauville City]]. This function may have been introduced to prevent players from sending profane messages.

Pokémon with Mail cannot be traded to [[Pokémon Colosseum]] or {{XD}} as Mail is not programmed into those games.

Mail in Generation IV contains three spaces in which a message can be entered. Like Generation III, the message is [[easy chat system|restricted to certain words]] pre-programmed into the game, but is now also restricted to certain phrases. This ensures that the letter remains readable in any language. The only words that can be added to the list of words are ones obtained from the old man in [[Snowpoint City]] or on {{rt|16|Kanto}}.

In the fourth generation games, the player's [[Bag]] has a separate pocket for Mail.

Once again, all previous types of mail have disappeared. Mail has now been moved back into the general items pocket of the [[Bag]] rather than having its own pocket. Generation IV mail are the only holdable items to no longer exist in the Generation V code. Also, all mail types without "BridgeMail" in their names have limited the [[easy chat system]] further—they still contain spaces to insert words but the entire phrase to be filled out cannot be changed. "BridgeMail" works the same way as all Generation IV mail.
