Mail: Difference between revisions

{{search|type of item|the feature in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series|Wonder Mail}}

Pokémon that are holding Mail use a special Mail icon instead of the normal held item icon.

In battle, having a Pokémon hold a Mail item prevents both the foe and the user from successfully using {{m|Trick}} or {{m|Switcheroo}}. Mail cannot be thrown with {{m|Fling}}, given with {{m|Bestow}}, or stolen with {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Covet}}.

In Generation II, the player can freely enter 32 characters across two 16-character rows of text. Mail uses a unique [[Text entry (Generation II)|text entry interface]], that has a wider selection of characters than other text entry interfaces in these games.

In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] versions of the Generation II games, when the player attempts to enter the Trade Center while one of the Pokémon in their party is holding Mail, they are given a warning on the touch screen not to include offensive material in Mail.

In Generation III, Mail is typed using the [[easy chat system]], which restricts players to choosing from a pre-defined list of words and phrases. Mail has nine phrase slots, structured as four rows of two slots and a fifth row with one slot.

Pokémon with Mail cannot be traded to [[Pokémon Colosseum]] or {{XD}} because Mail does not exist in those games.

In Generation IV, Mail consists of three sentence slots, which can each be filled with a sentence structure from several pre-defined structures. These sentence structures themselves have one or two gaps within them, that the player can fill using the [[easy chat system]] (which restricts players to choosing from a pre-defined list of words and phrases). This facilitates translating the message between game languages automatically.

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

In Generation V, Mail consists of three sentence slots. For BridgeMail, the player can choose a sentence structure from several pre-defined structures for each of these slots, then fill gaps in those sentence structures using the [[easy chat system]] (which restricts players to choosing from a pre-defined list of words and phrases). For non-BridgeMail, all three sentence structures are fixed, depending on the specific type of Mail; the player can only fill the gaps inside the sentences, and cannot change which sentence structures are used.

Mail has now been moved back into the general items pocket of the [[Bag]] rather than having its own pocket.
