Where were the Canadian HGSS cartridges sold?

Question

I just learned about Canadian HGSS Cartidges. Now, I am Canadian, born and raised, and mine are the standard American cartridges, and I bought them from my local Walmart in town upon release. So, I want to learn more about of this Heartgold Or version. I'm assuming this was a Quebec-exclusive release? Did it play in Canadian French and English?

Canada uses ERSB, not PEGI. Look at the case

That's really odd. It looks like they put a Canadian game into a French case.

Right? Maybe the case is a repro. Either way, some good information there, but definitely not the full picture. I still gotta find a Canadian case somehow….
I’m really betting it was only sold in Quebec. I might have to buy a CDN CIB for education.

According to the Bulbapedia article on this, the case uses the PEGI rating system, as the cover art is practically pulled straight from France.

> These releases contain exactly the same content as those from France, with the packaging in French only and slightly modified to include elements such as a "Play in French" logo (upper-left corner), although they retain their PEGI ratings rather than changing them to those of the ESRB.

Thanks for the info, JATP! Thats really interesting. I’m surprised that was legal. Can you link to that page for me please? I want to read more
