Naturalization (Pokémon)

Naturalization in Pokemon is a legal act, where a non-citizen (usually a trainer) acquires citizenship of a nation of any country, and it may be done without effort on the individual, but some countries require that the person renounce other citizenships that the person currently holds, downright forbidding dual citizenship.
If a Pokemon becomes naturalised, then the region where the Pokemon belongs in will change to an official country, such as when Anatoly Aparkov's Scolipede was granted Russian citizenship, by attorney Nikolai Sovkhariyenko, however, there is avid proof of naturalization.
Normally, naturalization can only apply to people, (trainers, professors, etc.) and it is a legal process, once the process is successful, then the Pokemon or Trainer will be officially naturalized anyway, and affiliations may change.
