maybe the mon's language wasn't Japanese to begin with??

It happens when a mon was English, then you evolved it on a Japanese game and it gained a Japanese nickname.
However, the language byte is still tagged ENG.
Thus, HOME probably fixed the nickname, and made it English.

The same thing occurs with Transporter>Bank: Any mon without nickname flag will be reassigned the nickname based on language byte, if the name doesn't match.
 

 

maybe a HOME glitch. who knows really.

No I had a Japaneese region Ditto from Pokemon Sun, when I uploaded it to pokemon bank and transfered it across to Pokemon Home and then into my Sheild game, it removed the Japanese marker from it. Now he is english.

Anyone else noticing that Home is stripping locations off foreign Pokemon imported from 3DS games, I had a few Japanese Pokemon but they have defaulted to English.
