Pkmn:Dinner
Dinner (Japanese: ???) is a cultural practice in the Pokémon World in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It made its debut in 
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness in 2007.
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.
