Italian Shaymin

[Irene]

Hello! First post of a fellow Italian Pokéfan here.

I went to the event in Milan on Saturday and I downloaded the Shaymin, but when I got home to check it I saw the country of origin was FRANCE! So I went to check the file for download here provided by Rika and saw that one also says it's from France. Is there any reason why it's this way? I was gonna give out a bunch of Italian Shaymins to my oversea friends but when they see it's from France they might not believe me and think I cheated...

There's not really any good explanation besides "NOE is sloppy". This is definitely not the first time they've screwed up and probably won't be the last. Maybe they just figure that no one will be able to see the language anyway...

You can definitely notice something is wrong if you trade to Platinum, as you'll have French and not Italian dex entry...

Nintendo AFAIK has done this mistake with every European Shaymin. They're too lazy to fix their distribution carts.

See it as a chance to learn French.
