1.1 Introduction
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
OK, sometimes, you see an SOS code, you want to do the mission, but then you
are disappointed because the code is wrong. Or your friend gives you a wrong
A-OK code after saving you; and you can't contact with him after that. You
may also receive a Thank-You Mail but it doesn't work; the person who you
rescued doesn't show up afterwards. Normally, you will request the people to
post it again, but it will definitely take time to get a response. This guide
will shorten the time you wait and avoid frustration.

Version 1.0 (29 Aug 2007) This very first version includes
- Introduction of rescue password system
- Code separating instruction
- SOS/A-OK/Thank-You Mail code fixing guide
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Basics of rescue password system
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This new game, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue Rescue Team, has introduce a
whole new way of playing. You, the main character, playing as a
used-to-be-human Pokemon, explore and rescue other Pokemon from the
wilderness of the dungeons. But you cannot always success, you may fail a few
times, then you may call for help through the rescue system. In this guide,
I'll focus mainly on the rescue password system.
When you faint in a dungeon, a pop up will appear and ask you if you want to
send a distress call, select Yes. You will be sent back to the main menu.
Here, select Friend Rescue, then Get Help!, then Send SOS Mail. Give the code
to your friend (don't worry about the version, password will work for both
Red and Blue) and wait. When your friend finish the rescue, he/she will send
you an A-OK Mail, type in the code. And when you are back, don't forget to
send him/her Thank-You Mail to express your appreciation. All these 3 types
of codes contain 54 characters so it sure will make some of you annoyed, or
type in the code wrongly. That is the reason of this FAQs.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.1 What is SOS Mail?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SOS Mail is a 54-character code that is generated when you select to be
rescued through password system. This code contains the variety Pokemon, the
name of it, the dungeon and floor where you passed out, the ID number of the
rescue, the number of rescue chances, the information of the game owner
(each player will have a specific code called Rescuer Code [see section 2.4]),
SOS indicator (this will indicate that the code you enter is SOS Mail),
and the data of whole dungeon to the point where your friend fainted. When you
go on the rescue, the dungeon you enter will be the same as your friend, with
the exception to the last floor if your friend fainted inside wall.
SOS Mail should be given to your friend to save you.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.2 What is A-OK Mail?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is the most important mail of all three when mentioning the function.
This code will be generated when you complete the rescue mission. It is also
a 54-character code which contains the same information as SOS Mail, with some
additions of Rescuer Code (this code is specific for each player, and will
appear in specific position in the A-OK code that the player give to his/her
friend), and A-OK indicator replacing SOS indicator.
The one who saves you shall give you this code to input. After that, you will
be able to continue your journey on the same spot where you fainted without
any Pokemon.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.3 What is Thank-You Mail?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank-You Mail has an obvious function: thanking the person who saved you.
This is also a 54-character code which contains the same information as A-OK
Mail with the replacement of Thank-You indicator and additional information
on the reward. Note that only one of any item stored inside Kangaskhan Storage
can be sent. So no money or Used TM can be sent through Thank-You Mail.
This code should be given to who have saved you to give them additional Rescue
Points and reward if requested.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2.4 Rescuer Code
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Rescuer Code is the code that the game gives the player from the beginning and
it will stay constant. The code will be integrated in the SOS code that he/she
sends and will be shown in the A-OK code the player gives his/her friend in
some specific positions. Here is the map
===== =======X =====
==X=X =======X =====
=X=== ======X= =====
(=: random characters
X: position of Rescuer Code)
This code is also used to determine if somebody use the A-OK gen to 'rescue'
other people. If this code matches the-one-who-needs-rescue's then the person
who posted the code used A-OK gen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Code separating instruction
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The most common reason for mistyping code is that people type everything in
one line. Therefore, they cannot check if the code is accurate or not. If we
want to fix the code, first, we have to separate each line of the code and
each part of them.
This part will show you the way to separate each line and each part of SOS
code. The other two are not necessary because we can use the original correct
SOS code (if not correct, how do you suppose to have A-OK and Thank-You code?)
as a guideline.
- The second line always begins with
==??? ? (always correct)
or
?=??? ? (common sight)
(=: random character)
Press enter to kick this line down.
- The third line always begins with
??=== (always correct)
or
??=?= (common sight)
Press enter to kick this line down.
Then separate each part of the line. Below is the instruction
- The second part of first line is usually
=R=====?
or less common
=Y=====?
Press space bar to separate.
- The second part of second line is usually
?====?=?
or sometimes
??===?=?
or
=====?=?
Press space bar to separate.
- The second part of third line is always
======??
Press space bar to separate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Fixing a code
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the main part of the FAQs. But before fixing any code, let's find out
which character will and will not be in any of those mail codes.
[a][b][c][d][e][f][g][h][i][j][k][l][m]
[n][o][p][q][r][s][t][u][v][w][x][y][z]
[A][B] C [D][E] F [G] H [I] J K [L] M
N [O] P Q R S T [U][V] W X Y [Z]
[é] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 [:]...
+ - [,][.] ! ? ['][']["]["] ♂ ♀ [_]
| |
male |
female
Characters without brackets are valid ones. The others are NOT. But you must
have a common sense to interpret the lower case into upper case. You also have
to automatically interpret O --> 0, I --> 1. Sometimes, you see (f) or %,
(m) or # in the code. They are characters represent female sign and male sign.
Secondly, we have to study what each character does in the code.
- Rescuer Code: As stated in the section 2.4. The X's positions are for Rescuer
Code in A-OK and Thank-You Mail
===== =======X =====
==X=X =======X =====
=X=== ======X= =====
- Reward Code: The X's positions are for Reward Code in Thank-You Mail. It
contains information of the reward that the rescued attached and send along.
==X== ======== =====
===== ======== =====
X==== =======X =====
The second X on third line will be number 4 if a reward is attached and will
be ? if no reward is attached.
The other 2 X's will be filled with information of reward. Here is the
complete list of them.

- Name Code: The number's positions are for Name Code. It contains information
about the name of the Pokemon (not what variety the Pokemon is).
3==== =====4== ===91
6==== 8======= 5===6
==28= ==57==== ==1=3
If the name of the Pokemon is longer than 1 character then there should NOT
be a ? in number 1's positions.
If the name of the Pokemon is longer than 2 characters then there should NOT
be a ? in number 2's positions.
If the name of the Pokemon is longer than 3 characters then there should NOT
be a ? in number 3's positions.
If the name of the Pokemon is longer than 4 characters then there should NOT
be a ? in number 4's positions.
If the name of the Pokemon is longer than 5 characters then there should NOT
be a ? in number 5's positions.
If the name of the Pokemon is longer than 6 characters then there should NOT
be a ? in number 6's positions.
If the name of the Pokemon is longer than 7 characters then there should NOT
be a ? in number 7's positions.
If the name of the Pokemon is longer than 8 characters then there should NOT
be a ? in number 8's positions.
If the name of the Pokemon is longer than 9 characters then there should NOT
be a ? in number 9's positions.
Sometimes, there might be a ? in those position even if the name is long
enough to make ? disappear, but most mails follow the rule above.
The guide above is not complete as the other character may be intefered by 2
factors. Thus, it is incorrect to classify them into one section.
I have no more to say, so let's get started with SOS code fixing guide.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
4.1 Fixing an SOS Mail code
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is probably is hardest of all, because you don't have anything to base on.
You can only guess and fix some common errors.
- Error 1: Ambiguity between male and female symbol
Some people can't even distinguish male with female symbol. So for your
information, male is symbolized with a circle below and a pointer pointing
Northeast, female is symbolized with a circle above a plus.
To fix this error, simply swap these 2 characters.
- Error 2: Missing one character/some characters
Separate each line of the code if the code is posted in one line. Read
section 3 for instruction.
People are always missing ?, so this guide will mainly discuss where to add
? in the missing code. If the code misses character other than ?, the code can
be fixed under certain circumstances.
There will always be a ? in position as shown below. Those ? (except the
second ? and the fourth ? in the second line) are reserved for Rescuer Code and
Reward Code.
I'm not so sure about the second ? and the fourth ? in the second line, if
anyone has an SOS code doesn't have ? in those positions. Contact me.
==?== ======?? =====
==??? =====?=? =====
??=== ======?? =====
(=: random character)
To fix this error, try adding ? in the plus sign's and number positions. Try
guessing the length of the name of the Pokemon using the guide on Name Code
above, then add ? using both the map and the guide.
3=+== =====4++ ===91
6=+++ 8====+=+ 5===6
++28= ==57==++ ==1=3
The third part of the third line will stay constant in all SOS if the person
who need rescue hasn't left the dungeon yet. So find the SOS/A-OK/Thank-You
Mail of that people and compare.
People sometimes missing ellipsis (...) at the end of a part, so try adding
this. But don't count on it.
If you are sure the missing character is on a specific position, try all
characters on the visual keyboard. It should work. Otherwise, the code has more
than one error or your guess is wrong.
- Error 3: Letter swaping
There is no guide to fix this kind of error. This kind of error can only be
detected if the letter occupies place for ?. Try swaping these letter with its
neighbors in the same line. Otherwise, fixing this type of error will waste
your time and efforts.
- Error 4: Wrong character: Typo/"Wacky eyes"
This kind of error mainly caused by mistyping (Shift key) or misreading the
code. Sometimes, people may type the wrong character randomly, then the code is
very hard to fix. This guide is only limited to fixing typo and 'wacky eyes'
errors.
There are some common errors categorized as typo and how to fix:
All character will be put in brackets, the left one is error and the right
one is the probable fixing for the error.
[!] <--> [1] (people can mistype these 2 letter easily)
[>] [/] --> [?]
[(] --> [9]
[)] --> [0]
[Z] --> [X]
[^] --> [6]
[*] --> [8]
[$] --> [4]
There are many more. If you suspect the character is wrong, look at the real
keyboard and try changing the letter to its neighbors. E.g If you see letter E
in the code, try changing it into R or W or 3.
These are some common errors categorized as 'wacky eyes' and how to fix:
[V] --> [Y]
[S] <--> [5]
[B] --> [8]
[T] --> [7]
[?] <--> [!]
[M] <--> [N]
[5] <--> [6]
There are many more examples. Here is a tip: think what that letter is
similar to, and then try changing that letter.
As you can see, fixing wrong character error mainly based on the unusual
letters that does not exist in any of 3 mails. If the wrong character can exist
in a mail, the chance of fixing it is very low.
- Error 5: Too many characters
This is also a common error. To start off, you have to separate the code
(read section 3 for more information). The most common character that is made
redundant is ?. Have a look at Error 2 to determine which ? should be deleted.
Sometimes, people tends to press a button twice, so try omitting one if you
see two or more of the same characters. Be sure to check if the repetition
in a code is needed, as most of the time, this repetition is the cause of this
error.
* Final instruction:
Normally, a code will have one error, but sometimes, it will have more than
one, so follow these steps to fix the code.
- Find information about the SOS Mail (name, type of Pokemon, floor, mail ID,
etc. but normally, you will only need the name of the Pokemon). This step is
normally cannot be done as people rarely post all information. Also, try to
find any rescue from the same person, same attempt to a dungeon.
- Separate the code, if it is not posted in a good format.
- Check the length of the code. Try to fix error 5 and 2 first using
information you found.
- If the problem persists, try error 1, then error 4 then 3
- If you have tried all your best, or more than 15 minutes have passed,
request a re-post of the code. Not worth keeping trying, you will waste your
time and effort.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
4.2 Fixing an A-OK Mail code
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This code doesn't need too many effort to fix it, as we have the SOS Mail as
a guideline to fix this code. Why am I saying this? Because A-OK Mail has some
differences to SOS Mail. Here is the map
===X= =XX====Y X====
==Y=Y ==X====Y =====
=Y=== ======Y= =====
(Y: Rescuer Code
X: Other changes
=: The same to SOS code)
So compare this to the correct SOS Mail and see if there is any changes to
the constant characters.
The position of X in the second line has a special characteristic. It will
always converted into a constant character. All we have to do is study how it
change.
F-->0 H-->J P-->R S-->T 1-->2 3-->Q 4-->5 ?-->6
These are all the common characters and how it changes from SOS Mail to A-OK
Mail. There may be more, but I just can't find any other than those. If you
have an SOS Mail and A-OK Mail that don't have these characters, contact me.
*Final instruction: So fast, isn't it?
- Find any rescue that has been done by the same person to extract the
Rescuer Code.
- Separate the code, if it is not posted in a good format.
- Check the constant character
- Check the X on second line
- Check Rescuer Code
- Try to detect error on the other X's (this is very hard, so if you follow
all upper steps, then ask for re-post instead of trying to fix it)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
4.3 Fixing a Thank-You Mail code
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Last but not least, here it is. First, we have to know how Thank-You Mail
different from A-OK Mail. Here is the map
==Y== ==X===== X====
===== ======== =====
Y==== =======A =====
A: This character will be a ? in SOS and A-OK Mail. In Thank-You Mail, if a
reward is NOT attached, it will be a ?, if a reward is attached then this
character will be number 4.
X: Character that are always change despite the existence of reward.
Y: Character that will change if there is an attached reward. If there is not
a reward, a ? will remain in these positions.
=: Letter have no change compare to A-OK Mail.
There is no way to fix those X's if they are wrong besides trying all possible
alternatives. But if you have information about the reward, fixing those Y's
is very simple. Read the Reward Code above to see if they match.
*Final instruction:
- Find information about the reward the rescued gave you
- Check the constant characters (most code will be fixed after this step)
- Check the character at position of A and Y's
- If you know the reward, and it matches Y's position characters, but the
code is still wrong then try changing the second X into other character.
Otherwise, request re-post.
