Pokemonfan saltimmortalsea shared their wedding save the date invitations with fellow fans, showing off a charming design. The invitations are based around the Generation 2 games,Pokemon Gold,Silver, andCrystal, and are made to look like a Game Boys in various colors. On the “screen” of the invitations, the fan has used the games’Pokemonmail system to inform people of their upcoming wedding. The wedding invites use the BlueSky Mail as their template, which showsDragoniteflying across the screen holding mail in its mouth as a Sentret peeks from the ground below.
Pokemon Messages and Mail
As one might expect,Pokemonfans have been charmed by these invitations. Apparently, saltimmortalsea didn’t have to convince their partner to make the save the date mailers look like this, as their partner was responsible for getting them intoPokemonin the first place. Whether the wedding itself will use anyPokemonthemeing isn’t known, but the mailers are a charming nod to something that brings the couple together and they both enjoy. Given the extremepopularity thePokemonserieshas attracted over the years, there’s probably some recipients who will get a dose of nostalgia when they receive them.
For those who might not know, Pokemon mail was around in the earlier generations of the games, and first introduced inPokemon Gold and Silver. Rather than an actual mail service, users could purchase mail - essentially, stationery - from various locations and then write short messages on them. The mail could then be given to a Pokemon to hold, and when thePokemon was tradedto another trainer, they could read the mail attached to it. In later games, Pokemon mail was limited to pre-programmed phrases, but inGold and Silver, players could write whatever they liked within the space’s limits. This was likely changed in order to prevent scams and explicit messages from being sent.
