Question about the FRLG-only mail

What happens if you make a Pokémon hold it, and then trade it to RS? By "it", I mean the Retro, Fab and Dream Mail. Tina 19:06, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

All mail obtained from FireRed/LeafGreen is programmed into Ruby/Sapphire. The mail will make it to the other side intact. --Shiningpikablu252 19:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Eon Mail

What do you get if you give the lady in goldenrod pokemon centre this? In Crystal her daughter wants it. TeePee-20.7 17:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

She gives you a Revive. Anticlimactic, I know. IIMarckus 20:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Mirage Mail

As far as I know, Mirage Mail can only be obtained by Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS, trading 9999 watts for it. It is not given by Mystery Gift. --.Maguss. 05:14, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay...that's cool. Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS? Good luck trying to get it that way...it won't work...only mystery gift.--Tavisource 05:25, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Why not? It gives to you Miracleberries and Rare Candies, so why not just a Mirage Mail? Even though there are informations that you can obtain Mirage Mail though Mystery Gift, I'm pretty sure that these informations are false. It is very easy for someone that don't know how to obtain some item to say that it is obtained though Mystery Gift, specially when this item isn't really usefull (same goes for Bluesky Mail). There are some evidences that this item is obtained though the Pokémon Pikachu 2. The first one is that the tables with Mystery Gift items never list Mirage Mail. You'll never know if it is a common item or rare item. The second evidence is that the fact some sites lists Mirage Mail as a item obtained though Pokemon Pikachu 2, with 9999 watts. Even though the great amount of sites don't list this, I don't think a people would make this false rumor using a item that no one really cares, as Mail items are just unusefull in Generation II.--.Maguss. 17:54, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
You get items from PP2GS via Mystery Gift...--Mew* a.k.a. Prmatt11at 21:46, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Yes, but not though the common GBC to GBC way. IF the way is PP2GS to GBC, and need watts for it, it should be informed. BTW, I just found an information that only 999 watts can be transfered to the GBC, so the information of 9999 watts is probably false (probably cause Pikachu can carry more than 999 watts). Anyway, the information that Mirage Mail is obtained though the common GBC to GBC way of Mirage Mail is probably false, due to the fact that none of the tables with Mistery Gift items lists it as a item that can be obtained.--.Maguss. 23:56, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Hipster in Mauville (referenced here)

I'm trying to get berries from the Berry Master's Wife and I'm missing some words from the available list.

Needed: Great Battle, Challenge Contest, Overwhelming Latias, Cool Latios, Super Hustle

Missing: Contest, Latias, Latios, Super

So I was able to get one berry (Spelon). Looking things over it seemed that if the Hipster adds words to the list, he may be the key to getting the berries. If there is another known solution to the "missing word problem" (Ruby/Sapphire), please let me know and we can update the pedia. Thanks.

Suggestion

Should this page give examples of the actual appearance of the mail when read? The small item sprites don't really give a good feel for it. --AndyPKMN 15:27, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

No one's responded to my suggestion, so I've gone ahead and pursued the idea. I now have images of all of the mail from Gen IV. Should I upload them, and if so, how should they be incorporated into the page? --AndyPKMN 14:54, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

New Words for HG/SS

It's missing on the description of both Generation II and IV where we can get more words for the vocabulary in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Anyone knows already? -- Professional Mole (Talk here) 15:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

It's in a house on Route 16. --AndyPKMN 18:23, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Gen II and III mail images

Alright, now that we've got an image gallery of Gen IV mail, it's time to tackle phase 2 of the updating of this page. I'm lost as to where I can find images of mail from Generations II and III (Serebii has them, but I've been around long enough to know not to steal Serebii's images. Do we have anyone with the know how to rip images of that mail for this page to use? Help would be much appreciated! --AndyPKMN 13:20, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Utility of the Mails

The Mails are not useless. They protect the holder from Trick/Switcheroo (even if the holder itself has used the move).
