'''Pokémate''' (Japanese: '''ポケメ～ト''' ''Pokémate'') is a mobile phone application in which {{player}}s can catch Pokémon. The application allows players to send messages to other people on the user's friend list or chat with them. Players can select and capture Pokémon to keep in the storage feature of the application. They can also subscribe to the game in order to receive more Pokémates, [[Poké Ball]]s, and other media.

The game was only distributed in Japan; however, it was presented in the United States during the 2006 {{wp|Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3}} summit. The service was discontinued in January 2008.
