i Modo Mo Issho (iモードもいっしょ) is a video game developed by Bomber Express and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
It was released on May 24th, 2001 for the PlayStation, and it is the third game and an expansion pack for Doko Demo Issyo and Koneko Mo Issho in the Doko Demo Issyo Series. Like Koneko Mo Issho, save data for Doko Demo Issyo is required to play it. It features additional content, such as new environments and music.
It's most notable feature is its connection with the i-Mode phone service, a Japanese mobile phone service provided by DoCoMo that allowed an early form of Internet connectivity with mobile phones.
Players can use an adapter to connect the phone to the Playstation console and connect to the online service, which allows players to to communicate to other players and the Pokepi, similar to the PocketStation.
It is also the last Doko Demo Issyo game to be released exclusively on the original PlayStation. The online service ended on December 15th, 2002, but the offline features of the game were still available.

Online Connectivity with the i-Mode Phone Service[]
i-Modo Mo Issho could connect a Playstation to an online network using the mobile phone connection cable to connect the console to a phone with the i-Mode service. While connected, the phone could also transmit data to and from the Playstation, similar to the PocketStation. While online, players could communicate to other users they met on the i-Modo Mo Issho website, or through sharing business cards in game with the PocketStation: they could send messages and emails through the game on the phone, as well as through the game on the Playstation.
While Pokepi cannot talk to the player directly on the phone like on the PocketStation, there is still interactivity with them through the phone, such as teaching words to the Pokepi from emails. Pokepi can also be set to send some messages through email, like scheduled reminders for events. The phone also had a notebook that can be written in and a contact book to keep logs of previous interactions. There was some additional downloadable content for the game that could be downloaded from the online network, such as a gallery of the illustrations used in the diary entries. After the online service was discontinued, all of these features were made inaccessible.
