'''Mail''', in terms of the [[Pokémon]] world, is a [[held item]] given to a Pokémon that contains a message written by the {{pkmn|Trainer}}. This message can then be given to other trainers by trading Pokémon. The mail system has been tweaked slightly since its introduction in [[Generation II]], becoming more restrictive of what can be said in the message in [[Generation III]], then even further restricting it in [[Generation IV]].

This message can then be given to other Trainers by trading Pokémon. The mail system has been tweaked slightly since its introduction in [[Generation II]], using the more restrictive [[easy chat system]] in [[Generation III]], then refining the system in [[Generation IV]].


Pokémon holding mail cannot be placed in the [[PC]]. The message written on mail is lost if returned to the [[bag]]. Storing it on the PC prevents the mail's message from being lost.

==Generation III==
==Generation III==
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 restricted to certain words pre-programmed into the game, often preventing a trainer from saying what the trainer truly wants to say. The only words that can be added to the list of words are ones obtained from the Hipster in [[Mauville City]]. This function may have been introduced to prevent players from sending profane messages.

==Generation IV==
==Generation IV==
Mail in Generation IV contains three spaces in which a message can be entered. Like Generation III, the message is 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}}.
