Pokémon Sun & Moon - Mew Event Note
Earlier today, the new Mew Serial Code event began in Japan. This event had the OT ２０ＴＨ☆. However, this caused a glitch to happen should the event be traded through any means. Due to the ☆, it would cause the OT to reset to Sun., Sonne., サン., Soleil., Sol., Sole. & 썬 depending on the language of the game. This event has now been rectified, removing the star leaving the OT as ２０ＴＨ. Should any further details come to light, we will post them here
