(→Hisuian Growlithe: guess thats a better way to explain it? only happened before with LGPE Birthday Chansey, since they are normally pretty careful to enforce nicknames to avoid this bug....) |

This is a reverse-chronological '''list of event Pokémon distributions''' that were given away via [[serial code]]s to Pokémon games in [[Generation VIII]]. | This is a reverse-chronological '''list of event Pokémon distributions''' that were given away via [[serial code]]s to Pokémon games in [[Generation VIII]]. | ||
Unlike serial codes | Unlike serial codes from the 3DS era, serial code events in these games are region-free and can be used regardless of the game or console's region or language, provided the player is connected to the internet and uses a legitimate serial code. An active subscription to [[Nintendo Switch Online]] is not required to claim [[Mystery Gift]]s on Nintendo Switch games. | ||
Serial codes are 16 characters long and do not use the letters '''I''', '''O''' or '''Z'''. In addition the first 4 characters (Prefix) of a code is static and corresponds to a specific distribution. The first character of the prefix dictates the origin of the code which may be relevant in certain distributions where codes of different origins have different validity periods. | |||
Specifically: | |||
* Codes that begin with '''A''' originate from Asia; Specifically ASEAN countries, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao | |||
* Codes that begin with '''E''' originate from Europe, Middle East, Africa and Oceania | |||
* Codes that begin with '''J''' originate from Japan | |||
* Codes that begin with '''K''' originate from South Korea | |||
* Codes that begin with '''M''' originate from Pokémon movie distributions, usually Japanese and allow for multiple redemptions | |||
* Codes that begin with '''U''' originate from the United States and other countries in the Americas | |||
