Rescue Team:Version Differences

Version Differences in / Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team covers the differences between the two versions, regional releases, and software updates.

Version Exclusive Pokémon

Version exclusive Pokémon are Pokémon that is only found in one version of the game. Those Pokémon could not be found and recruited in the dungeons until a Wonder Mail code involving the Pokémon is entered. Due to there not being a Korean release of Red Rescue Team, the Korean release does not have any version exclusives.

Updates

1.1

This patch was released on a different cartridge on November 24, 2005, in the Japanese version of Blue Rescue Team. This version would be used for worldwide release of the game.

• Fixed a major data corruption if any Game Boy Advance games was put in Slot 2 on an original Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite.

Trivia

• Red Rescue Team has one more Pokémon available than Blue Rescue Team by default. This is due to being able to recruit Porygon and evolve it in Red Rescue Team, while Blue Rescue Team players can only recruit Porygon2.

Part of this page's history has been imported from the PMD Rescue Team Wiki. On September 11, 2019, the Gamepedia Shiren the Wanderer Wiki became the Gamepedia Mystery Dungeon Wiki. As part of the unification project between Fandom and Gamepedia, we absorbed the Rescue Team Wiki and its page histories. Some pages were originally deemed unworthy of being imported and were left behind. We've since imported them with the intent to preserve the edits and history of this community and its contributions, as well as to build upon them. In some cases, these pages have been created again by editors of the MDFW, and the Rescue Team page histories were imported into them at a later date. You can check if this is the case by visiting the page's history. For a full list of imported pages, see: Pages with histories imported from the PMD Rescue Team Wiki. Archived link
