Dinner (Japanese: ???) is a cultural practice in the Pokémon World in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It made its debut in 2007 in Template:GameTitle.

Dinner involves Pokémon consuming a meal at a table before going to sleep at night. Where large groups of Pokémon live together, dinner may also be an occasion to share important news and announcements.
