PokéMate was a mobile phone application developed by Square-Enix. Essentially it was a system to allow for messages to be sent from person to person such as e-mails
The chatroom feature allowed different players' Pokémon to sign messages between two players. This aspect of the game worked similarly to email.

The game was only released in Japan but was shown at E3 and was expected to receive a wider release in 2008. It didn't receive much attention from press in Japan or the US during its lifespan. However, the service was discontinued in Japan in 2008 and was never available in the rest of the world. Beyond some screenshots, and some footage of the game, there is no way to access it since its discontinuation.

When you access the game for the first time, you receive one random Pokémon, you also get 10 PokéBalls to allow you to catch Pokémon
==Reference==
Simply enough, you find a Wild Pokémon and you catch it, however originally there are only 3 Pokémon you can catch, all random
{{reflist}}
However with the subscription to the service each month, more Pokémon become available and you get 5 more Pokéballs to capture the Pokémon with. You can also buy new Pokéballs for a small price seperately.
 
==Storage/Partners==
 
All your Pokémon are stored within Boxes in the system just like the Pokémon in the general GBA games. You can select the Pokémon here to use them as your mascot Pokémon
This also allows you to see a Pokédex entry for the Pokémon which also includes information on when you caught it.
 
Pokemate was never released anywhere outside Japan, and there hasn't been any video footage showing off the features besides a few images online.
