Compatibility
This plugin has been tested to work in Pokemon Essentials 20.1. I don't know if it works on 21.
For those that have looked at the wiki about the pokegear, you'll have probably seen the idea of adding a notebook as a pokegear app. Maybe, like me, haven't know how to do it nor have been able to find scripts that do it. Well, I managed to figure out a way to do so thanks to Pokémon holding Mail by Mr. Gela.
This script handles everything to make the notebook work separately from the mailbox (but not the mail) so you can still use it like in pokemon games if you want to. The script comes with the mail items and backgrounds from Black and White to use with it but you can use any background as long as you define a mail item that goes with it.
This step should not be necessary any longer since the plugin doesn't alter the player's party anymore.

- Add the mails with icons to both
NOTES_BACKGROUNDandICON_NOTEin the configuration. You can add them directly on the configuration file or by adding them through a script. IMPORTANT: the mail object needs the flag icon mail for this to work. - Open the file "Notebook_Icons" and copy the examples for your mails.
- Edit the mail ID and pokémon to your liking. Be aware that the icons display any gender difference, the pokémon's form and if the pokémon is shiny (both super shiny and normal shiny), if it's a shadow pokémon or not and if it's an egg or not.
In the Configuration, set the

Use the code
Use this to, for example, create a store where the player can purchase backgrounds.
NoteConfig::NOTES_BACKGROUND.push(mailID) to add mails to the array. MailID has to be the ID of a mail like this: :GRASSMAIL.Use this to, for example, create a store where the player can purchase backgrounds.
Add this to an event:
You can use items and mails to separate normal items from the mail items or use only one.
NOTE: the shop used for this shop has been slightly modified. You can only buy 1 item at a time and the price will change to "Sold out" if you have the item in the bag or you already purchased the background.
Note: if this method throws errors or doesn't work as it should (like adding items that aren't mail in the list of backgrounds for the notebook), use the method in example 1.
