Presumably as a measure to avoid confusion, one-time use codes do not use the number "0" or the letter "O"; the number "1" or the letter "I"; or the letters "B" or "V".<ref>[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/sp/kapu-kokeko/present/ Japanese page for the Shiny Tapu Koko event]</ref> | Presumably as a measure to avoid confusion, one-time use codes do not use the number "0" or the letter "O"; the number "1" or the letter "I"; or the letters "B" or "V".<ref>[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/sp/kapu-kokeko/present/ Japanese page for the Shiny Tapu Koko event]</ref> | ||
One-time use codes also have certain fixed prefixes for certain events. The first four characters are often the same for all codes for the same event; occasionally, however, this prefix may differ depending on where or how the code was received. Different {{wp|PAL region}} countries, for example, often have different prefixes for the same event. The first character also usually corresponds to the [[region lock|region]] it can be used with: "A", "E", "J", or "K" for American region, PAL region, Japanese region, or Korean region games (respectively); or "F" for codes usable with more than one region. The second digit in the prefix generally matches the singles digit of the year when the code was released. The last two digits in code prefixes often exhibit a nearly consecutive upward trend across different events, with the letter "Z" used as a stand-in for the number "0" and "A" used as a stand-in for "1" (since those numbers are not used in one-time use codes). | One-time use codes also have certain [[List of prefixes for one-time serial codes|fixed prefixes]] for certain events.
