Poke transfer with Mewtwo?

Dec. 15, 2012

I have SoulSilver and I caught Mewtwo in Kanto.Then I used Poke Transfer and send it to White 2,which of course it is a Unova game.I checked Mewtwo’s info and it says “Johto”.Why Johto since I caught it in Kanto ?

When a Pokémon is transferred, its location becomes simply the name ofthe region it was caught rather than the exact location it was caught.A Pokémon caught in HeartGold or SoulSilver will have its locationlisted as Johto, regardless of if it was caught in Kanto, the SinjohRuins, or the Pokéwalker. A Pokémon originally caught in a GenerationIII game will have the text “after a long travel through time” addedto the end of its location. In addition, the level obtained at ischanged to the level arrived at, and the date obtained becomes thedate it was transferred to the Generation V game.

SS and HG are Johto based games as they originated from Gold and Silver which only had Johto as the region.Source: Experiance andBulbapedia
