Canadian players have had access to all Wi-Fi event distributions since the {{si|Secret Key}} in early 2009. The first in-store distribution was the [[List of European language event Pokémon distributions in Generation I#Canada Toys "R" Us Mew|Toys "R" Us Mew]] in 2000. In [[Generation III]], Canada had no [[event Pokémon]] distributions. There were no in-store [[event Pokémon]] distributions again until the 2011 release of the [[Legendary beasts (M13)#In the games|shiny legendary beasts]] at {{wp|EB Games}} and {{wp|GameStop}} stores. Following this, other events have been distributed at EB Games and GameStop stores as well as in {{wp|Toys 'R' Us}} stores. Events are available to all game languages, although they were initially only available to English games followed by English and French only.<ref>[http://www.gamesniped.com/2012/02/13/pokemon-zoroark-distribution-cart-nintendo-ds/ Image of bilingual Zoroark distribution cart @ GameSniped] (retrieved April 9, 2012)</ref>
