v21.1 Phone.txt extended 2026-02-21

This resource pertains to version 21.1 of Pokémon Essentials.
Open up your phone.txt and see how many lines are in there. There's probably something like 25 lines of generic phone calls right? But I think we can all remember how repetitive the phone feature can really get once you've collected a few numbers... So I wanted to share some more generic texts you can add to your game.

This resource has no download because you can just copy+paste as much or as little as you want, and it'd be cool if other people shared their own phone calls in the comments! 😄Especially if you're good at writing like sassy or grumpy character bits; I think my style leans very friendly and chatty but more variety is more fun!!

🔫I don't care if it's phone call for a specific character instead of being generic, trade me your phone texts for texts🔫

#========================= General =====================================================
Body = I can't talk long, but I had to tell someone... My \TP is just so cute today! My baby is so cute just dozing on my lap!\mOh wait no, they just woke up. Baby I'm sorry I didn't mean to be so loud on the phone! I'll hang up, so get comfy again please!
Body = I just had a really rough battle with a \TE. My poor \TP really needs a Potion break. \mHope you and your Pokémon are doing okay.
Body = I was just thinking about you.\mMy \TP has been winning a lot more battles recently, so their confidence is way up from when we battled you. \mWe'll have to have a rematch soon. Not yet, but... soon.
Body = Do you ever struggle to catch a Pokémon?\mI've been trying to catch a shiny \TE but I'm starting to lose my confidence... \mOh well, at least I have my \TP by my side.
Body = I've been thinking about our battle ever since we last saw each other.\mEven though I lost, it was pretty fun. Really!\mThere's not a lot of trainers who battle like you do, or raise Pokémon like yours.
Body = My heart is still thumping in my chest \PN!\mA really Bold \TE just ran right at me and my \TP!\mPhew, I really need to calm down.
Body = Is it bad that I kind of love riling up wild Pokémon by running around in patches of grass?\mI don't even want to battle, I just want to see what's living in there. \m It's always something cool!
Body = It's nice to talk to you \PN. Some people just don't understand Pokémon like we do.\mI just saw a quote unquote 'trainer' freaking out because they saw a Bug Pokémon indoors.\mThat thing was tiny! How did you even notice it there?!
Body = Do you ever see a trainer with the same Pokémon as you?\mI love introducing my \TP to other trainers'. They're both so happy to see each other!



I wanted to give phone calls a bit of use rather than just being random text, so I wrote a bunch that will casually mention where to encounter wild Pokemon. These kinds of calls work based on the map the NPC is standing in, so if you have a lot of phone numbers from NPCs who are indoors they should probably have custom phone text instead.
#=========== Find that Pokemon on this route =====================================================
Body = You know, \TM really is the best place to catch \TE. I've already battled 3 of them in a row!\mMy \TP is a little too strong though and keeps knocking them out before I can catch them.
Body = I just love watching the \TE run around \TM, don't you?\mOh, there's one now!
Body = Let's make a bet right now. I swear to you there are more \TE at \TM than usual today, or else I'll release my own beloved \TP. \m....Oh no baby I didn't mean it! I was just venting to \PN, I'd never let you go!
Body = While you were at \TM, did you catch a \TE?\m... I'm just wondering!\mIf I catch a really strong one for myself, I don't want you to think I'm copying you just because I lost our battle last time.
Body = I just battled six \TE in a row. Six!\mWhere there always this many of them around \TM? It'd be nice if I could actually catch one but... my \TP is just too strong. Always knocks them out before I can throw a Pokéball.
Body = The \TE that I run into at \TM are just too much sometimes.\mI already used all my potions today and had to buy more... But I think I'm almost as strong as you now \PN!\mYou'll be surprised next time you see my \TP in action!
Body = You're a good trainer \PN. Can you give me any secret tips for catching Pokémon?\mEspecially when it comes to catching the kind of \TE you can find at \TM...?\mNot that I've fumbled a catch recently or anything... I'm just curious about your opinion!
Body = I heard battling the same kind of Pokémon can help raise your stats somehow?\mSo to test it I've been battling nothing but \TE at \TM today.\mI'm not sure if my \TP has really seen any results though... Was that rumor even true?
Body = \TM has too many \TE today, it's true. I've already battled more than I can count!\mPhew, at least my \TP never gets tired of fighting against them. We're getting kinda of good at it now.
Body = You've battled a few \TE at \TM before right? Any tips you can offer me? \m...\mYeah I've battled plenty of them myself but, I really just can't win lately. Maybe it's time for a break.
Body = \TE and \TE and \TE! Nothing else lives at \TM, it feels like.\mMe and my team are sick of them. We're taking the rest of the day off of training.\mMake sure you take breaks too \PN, even easy work is still work.
Body = My battle log for today at \TM is... \TE: Won. \TE: Lost. \TE: Lost again.\mBut then I beat four \TE in a row! That's the power of learning from experience.
Body = A really strong \TE ambushed my first thing today at \TM...\mBut after a visit to the Pokémon center, I've beat every \TE since. \mHope your luck is half as good today too, even if there's setbacks!
Body = I haven't seen a single \TE at \TM all day. Isn't that weird?\mI'm starting to wonder if something is wrong... Is it me? Do I smell bad or something?\mWait. What does Repel smell like again? Hold on.
Body = Do you ever use Repel? I sprayed one around \TM and haven't seen any \TE at all!\mIt's amazing how well it works, but the place really isn't the same without all those wild Pokémon.\mOh well, I think it's starting to wear off now anyway.
Body = A Ranger recently told me to stop harassing all of \TM's \TE.\mAll because I battled sixteen in a row! That's not that many, right?
Body = Can you believe how many wild \TE you can find at \TM?\mOf course, nothing compares to my \TP.
Body = Top three Pokémon you can find at \TM? \TE, \TE, and \TE.\mTry and tell me I'm wrong? You can't.

#======================== Body1 =====================================================
Body1 = How are your Pokémon doing?\mMy \TP's really energetic. It's a handful!
Body1 = How are your Pokémon growing lately?\mMy \TP's been getting really tough, it's kind of a handful to keep up with!
Body1 = Walking with my \TP is the best. I don't think I'll ever get tired of travelling with my buddy.
Body1 = How are your Pokémon doing?\mI always keep my \TP in top shape by going to Pokémon Centers.
Body1 = My \TP's looking really awesome.
Body1 = My \TP is better than all the rest. Wild \TE cower in fear.
Body1 = My \TP's looking a lot sharper than before. \mSorry, but I doubt there's a Pokémon as cool as this guy in your whole party!
Body1 = My \TP and I are getting more in sync with each other.
Body1 = My \TP's so adorable, don't you think so? The way it looks when battling wild \TE is something else.
Body1 = Hey, listen to this. My \TP gets such a dopey look on its' face when I scratch behind its' ear. I bet your Pokémon aren't this cute!
Body1 = I've been trying to teach my \TP some better manners, but I don't think it's working.
Body1 = I dressed my \TP and it looks even cuter than before!
Body1 = \TM is really nice this time of day. The sounds of the wild \TE are kind of soothing.
Body1 = Uh, you know \PN... ... ... \mNo, nevermind actually. Forget I said anything.
Body1 = I swear, the wild \TE at \TM are harder to catch than anything else.
Body1 = Do you ever think about \TE? I've just got to catch one.
Body1 = I just battled a huge \TE, probably a record sized one! \TP barely won, but I'm so proud right now.
Body1 = Phew! There's a lot of really tough \TE around \TM today. I must have battled a dozen already.
Body1 = Training has been rough recently. My \TP got into the habit of scooping up the wild \TE and bopping them on the head. Then it just runs away. We're not getting any experience like this...
Body1 = A really Brave \TE ran right at me today, but it was nothing my \TP couldn't handle.
Body1 = I really need to stock up on repels, \TM is just swarming with wild \TE today.
Body1 = I think my \TP has some kind of beef with the wild \TE at \TM. \mThey've just been extra aggressive with each other lately.
Body1 = My \TP always looks so happy eating berries during a battle. I wonder if fighting makes them taste better or something.
Body1 = You remember my sweet \TP right? Of course, it's impossible to forget. \mWe've been working on our speed together. Maybe next time, I'll challenge you to a race instead of a battle!
Body1 = Of all my Pokémon, my \TP is the hardest to handle. It just has way more energy than me.
Body1 = Do I really need to battle smarter? Maybe me and \TP can just be bolder about it. \mA reckless idiot can beat a genius once in awhile, I think?

#======================== Body2 =====================================================
Body2 = You know how it is.
Body2 = I wish I could show you. Maybe I will next time we're both at \TM.
Body2 = I saw a wild \TE today too, but it dissappeared before I could battle it. I know it's not the rarest Pokémon, but it's still dissappointing you know.
Body2 = Hm? Awww, my \TP just handed me an item they found. Thanks buddy! You're the best.
Body2 = Maybe it's about time me and \TP take a break at the nearest Gatehouse though.
Body2 = ... Hey. Do you ever wonder if you visit the Pokémon Centers too much, and if the nurse is judging you? \mNot that I ever do that, of course. Just wondering.
Body2 = ... \mHuh? Sorry, I just completely zoned out there for a second.
Body2 = Will you be visiting \TM again soon? Maybe we'll see each other.
Body2 = Oh yeah, I managed to beat a really tough \TE.\mMy party just keeps getting stronger.
Body2 = You have to hear this! I battled so many \TE the other day.\mIt was easy! I had a type advantage.
Body2 = Hey, listen! I almost caught \TE the other day.\mOh, it was sooooooo close, too!
Body2 = I saw a really strong \TE today but you know... \mAfter thinking about it, I decided not to catch it. I'd rather invest my training time with my one and only \TP.
Body2 = I saw a shiny \TE the other day, but my \TP got too excited and knocked it out! \mCan you believe that?
Body2 = Guess what happened the other day. I missed catching \TE again.\mMaybe I'm not very good at this.
Body2 = And you know? Now we can KO \TE easily.\mMaybe I should try challenging a Gym.
Body2 = And you know? We just failed to beat \TE by a tiny margin.\mI'm guessing my Pokémon's levels aren't high enough yet...
Body2 = And my \TP came really close to fainting after battling a wild \TE! Isn't that awful? I hate those things!
Body2 = Oh yeah, say hi to your Pokémon from my \TP!
Body2 = Anyway, me and my \TP have some more training to do.
Body2 = And I saw a really cute pair of \TE today too, they were so Calm and Relaxed while the other wild Pokémon ran around them.
Body2 = By the way, if you hear any rumours about me, they're not true.\mI've never in my life fainted a shiny \TE while trying to catch it.
Body2 = Oh, and if you hear anything about me, please pretend you didn't.\mI'm embarassed enough that people saw me scream when that Bug Pokémon jumped out at me.

For Battle Requests and Reminders I allways mention the location of the NPC.
#===================== Battle Requests =====================================================
BattleRequest = Want to battle? It's not going to be a repeat of the last time we met.\mI'll be waiting for you around \TM.
BattleRequest = Do you want to battle? I'm going to win this time!\mI'll be waiting for you around \TM.\mLook for me, OK? My \TP will be expecting you.
BattleRequest = Don't you want to battle again?\mI'll meet you at \TM for a rematch.

BattleRemind = I'm getting tired of waiting. Are you coming to \TM to battle me or not?
BattleRemind = I'm starting to think you forgot about me \PN. \mIt's \TN, waiting for a rematch at \TM, remember?
BattleRemind = You're not too scared to battle me again are you? I'm still waiting at \TM.
BattleRemind = You're not afraid to battle me again are you?\mI'll be waiting at \TM until you're brave enough to face me.
BattleRemind = Are you still going to meet me at \TM for our rematch? I'll be waiting.
BattleRemind = You and me. We're still having that rematch, right?\mMeet me at \TM, I'm waiting for you.
