POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON MAIL AND NEWSLETTERS
The Mailbox serves an important role in the game, bringing you various letters with key missions that advance story events, as well as optional missions with good rewards (for instance, it is possible to unlock the Boulder Cave, Dragon Cave, Mt. Moonview and Sky Blue Plains Friend Areas from optional missions delivered straight to you). From time to time, you will also receive news bulletins which offer useful gameplay tips and interesting tidbits of information about the Pokemon World.
While it is convenient and useful to receive such mail, the Mailbox gets full very easily as it only has capacity to store four pieces of mail. As such, do clear your mail often so that Pelipper can continue to deliver mail to you. For optional missions which you do not wish to undertake, first accept the mail before deleting the mission from your Job List.
As mentioned before, news bulletins are delivered regularly, and they contain gameplay tips and interesting facts. After reading them, you can store them in the News List so they do not take up space in the Mailbox. You can view any news bulletins you have received via the News List option for the Mailbox.
Compiled here are all fifty pieces of the news bulletins you will receive in the game.

Saving Your Adventure and Pokemon News
You can save your adventure by going to your bed. Get in the habit of saving often. You should also store old Pokemon News. If your Mailbox is full, you won't get the latest issue of the news or any job mail.
Check the Mailbox and store old news!
- Pokemon Rescue Organization -
If you want to go on a rescue job listed on the Bulletin Board at the Pelipper Post Office, or one that's delivered to your Mailbox, you first need to Accept the job, then choose Take Job. Only then will you be able to handle that job. Try to do accepted jobs quickly!

Eat Something When You Get Hungry!
While you're exploring a dungeon, you will get progressively hungry (your Belly goes down). If you become famished, you will eventually lose HP and even faint. That's why you should eat something to fill your Belly! You can always buy food at the Kecleon Shop.
Seeds Can Be Thrown, Too!
Seeds are usually meant to be eaten. But did you know? They can also be thrown at other Pokemon to unlock their effects. Toss seeds you don't want to eat at foes! Throw good seeds at friends! Don't be afraid to throw your seeds!
Investigations Under Way Info
Recent Rash of Natural Disasters
Pokemon in affected areas attack any outsider without hesitation. Some believe a mysterious force is behind their behavior. One source blamed Diglett for triggering earthquakes, but the investigative team is skeptical.
Change Your Option Settings to Suit Your Play Style!
Press B to open the menu, then choose Others and Game Options. You can change settings to suit the way you play.
The Benefits of Using Moves
If a move is used on a foe, when it is defeated, you earn more Exp. Points! A move only has to be used once on the foe: after that it can be defeated using a regular attack to earn more Exp. Points. Moves are also more likely to become critical hits! Don't overuse them, though!
Wonder Tiles Reset Attack and Defence!
If your Attack is lowered by a foe's Growl, or your Defense is lowered
by a foe's Tail Whip, for example, the affected stat can be reset to normal by stepping on a Wonder Tile or going to the next floor. Beware, enhanced stats are also reset to normal!
If your rescue team is defeated in a dungeon, you lose several items and
all the money you are carrying before you go off on a rescue or an outing.
Use Kangaskhan Storage to keep invaluable items safely stored.

Learn How Types Match Up!
All Pokemon are of certain types, such as Fire and Water. In a battle, the damage inflicted depends on how the Pokemon's type matches up with the move's type. For example, a Fire-type Pokemon is weak against Water-type moves. Exploit type matchups to win battles!

Use Team Members Effectively!
When you're fighting in a dungeon, it's important to use your team members. If attacked from the side, move horizontally. If attacked from above or below, move vertically. That way, you can have several Pokemon fighting a single foe. Change Tactics if members don't move properly.
If you want to enlarge your rescue team, you must first get Friend Areas. When a Pokemon that can live in an obtained Friend Area is defeated, it may ask to join your rescue team. Add to your Friend Areas so you can recruit more members! Incidentally, you may take no more than three friends into a dungeon.
Moving Diagonally
Move diagonally to avoid foes!
Keeping R pressed, use the
Control Pad to move diagonally.
Changing Direction
It's also very important to change directions without moving. Check Hints to see how you can do this maneuver!
Gummis That Make You Smart
Research has revealed that popular Gummi treats not only enhance intelligence, they also have different effects depending on type. Share Gummis with your friends and get smarter for your adventures! In dungeons, throw them at your friends. Use them in Friend Areas and...?
The Ultimate Dungeon Challenges You to Do Your Best!
Somewhere in the world, there supposedly is an incredibly tough dungeon. One must enter alone at Level 1, and without any items. No one has ever completed the challenge. It is considered a test not of power, but of intelligence and wits.
New Types of Machines Discovered?
In a recently discovered cave, explorers found unique types of Technical Machines. They apparently do not break after a single use. Further studies are said to be under consideration by the authorities. In related news, the cave is to be named the Solar Cave.
Study Type Matchups at the Makuhita Dojo!
At the Makuhita Dojo, one can learn how Pokemon type matchups affect battles. It's because the dojo's training rooms are divided by type. For example, in the Fire Maze, there are only Fire-type Pokemon.
Try move types to see what works best!
New Types of Floor Tiles?
There have been numerous reports of new floor tiles other than Wonder Tiles. Believed to have been made by the recent natural disasters, these floor tiles remain hidden until they are stepped on. They then trigger a variety of traps. Rescue teams are urged to use extreme caution.
Make Your Explorations Easier by Boosting the IQ of Team Members!
Eating Gummis boosts the IQ of Pokemon. Upon reaching certain IQ levels, a Pokemon learns IQ Skills that can be very helpful (for example, learning to seek out foes with type disadvantages). Check the IQ Skills of your team members!
All Moves Have Effective Ranges
Moves that affect an entire room have a range of two tiles in a corridor. The move Growl, which lowers the Attack stat of foes in a room, will reach two tiles away in a corridor, for example. If, however, the visibility is limited to just one tile, the range of moves will also be limited.
Feel a Little Envious?
Teddiursa is often seen licking its paws that have soaked up sweet honey. While it may be sticky shaking paws with Teddiursa, one can't help but feel a twinge of envy.
Head Out to the Desert Region!
If you've been wondering what lies behind the mysterious locked doors of the Solar Cave, there's been a breakthrough! Reports indicate the door keys are easily found in the Desert Region. Explorers are advised to compose teams with Pokemon adapted to the desert enviroment.
With a simple act of courage, Azurill became a hero despite being small in size. Azuril came across Slowpoke, who had fallen into a pond. Our hero's tail, thrown at the struggling Slowpoke, saved a sure drowning! Slowpoke claimed to have entirely forgotten having the ability to swim capably.

Sandstorm: Regularly inflicts damage except on Ground, Rock, and Steel types.
Cloudy: All moves and attacks, excluding the Normal type, are weakened.
Rain: Boosts Water-type moves, and weakens Fire. Prevents explosions.
Amoung rescue teams, there is growing demand for equipment that is not only practical, but also fashionably appealing. The pink Pecha Scarf is especially popular. Even the Kecleon Shop is having trouble keeping it in stock. If you're lucky enough to spot one, make a beeline for it!
Earlier today, Wobbuffet reportedly wobbled the wrong way and wandered off. It had to be rescued by the famous Team Hydro. Fortunately, the wayward wanderer Wobbuffet was only wobbly and otherwise unharmed.
Clear: Pleasant weather.
Hail: Regularly inflicts damage, except on the Ice type.
Fog: Turns the status of all Pokemon on the floor to Mud Sport.

There have been numerous reports that the older of the Kecleon merchants in Pokemon Square occasionally goes missing. Some residents claim, "He's
greedy. He must be off doing business somewhere." His younger brother denies such claims: "He wouldn't get free items in dungeons and try to sell them..."
Power Up Combination Attacks!
Some dungeons allow rescue teams to switch leaders on the spot for doing
combination attacks and so on. When you enter a dungeon, open the menu,
choose the Pokemon you want as the leader under Team, then select the
command Leader.

Reports of a noxious gas leak caused widespread chaos in the Sinister Woods. Specialists speculate that the recent natural disasters are to blame. However, some also blame Team Koffing's training in the area for the foul-smelling gas. The answer, apparently, is blowing in the wind.
Today, the weather over Pokemon Square promises to be clear with no
chance of showers. Other regions can expect showers followed by clouds. There may be sun breaks depending on the day's moods.
Smeargle, the artist known for his unique artistic vision, had a windfall day as one of his paintings was auctioned for 300 million poke yesterday. The auctioned artwork was one of Smeargle's signature works from early in his career.
One of our oldest residents claims to feel rejuvenated. Kabuto reportedly had an encounter with Relicanth in which both parties reminisced about the "old days." However, even Kabuto could not keep up with Relicanth's tales from a hundred million years ago. Kabuto stated, "It made me feel young talking to Relicanth."
As a special treat, I'll share a simple way to tell fortunes with you! The key is the first thing you find in the day's first dungeon. If it's money, you'll be sure to make more. If it's a Berry, your health luck is good.
If it's an Apple, you're super lucky!

Research has revealed that Rawst Berries found in dungeons are usually unripened and colored green. When ripe, they turn a sky blue colour. An unripened one is easier to eat, however, because it has no yet turned bitter. It is known to heal all burns.
Vileplume are widely recognized for their massize flower. However, few dare to approach Vileplume because they scatter clouds of allergy-inducing
pollen. Vileplume complain that they tire very easily because the flower's weight makes their head heavy.
A high-seas rescue in the Stormy Sea by Team Sea Dragons ended yesterday with the successful recovery of Tentacool. The client, Corsola, is said to be delighted by the outcome. Tentacool stated, "I didn't realize how far I'd been washed out to sea."
The Stormy Sea is unforgiving!
As a result of the natural disasters, there have been many reports of Pitfall Traps appearing in dungeons. However, there also appear to be pitfalls made by Pokemon that are not harmful. The latter are thought to be made by foraging Swinub. Some even turn out to be hot springs that erupt occasionally.
Relief for Delicate Souls Who Can't Sleep with Different Pillows!
Insomniacs rejoiced over the announcement of the Slakoth Pillow, which is said to induce sleepiness just by seeing it. Already the inventor is swamped with inquiries from all over. However, production is said to be not yet ready.

(Your Name) Innocent! Part 1
He/she met with Ninetales on Mt. Freeze. Ninetales testified that (Your Name) was not the human that appeared in the legend. As a result, Gengar's claims were found to be malicious lies.
The clearly dismayed Gengar's quote:
"Ugegegegegegegegegegegeh"
(Your Name) Innocent! Part 2
Quote from Charizard on the scene:
"That's what I thought right from the start, hahaha!"
