Uh, Special is not canon to the games at all. It outright contradicts many things established in the games. It's pretty blatantly unlike the games and goes off it's own little world pretty much from the start. |
It is when the creator of the video game part of the franchise deems it so~ (stopping short of being literal).

When exactly did he say it was canon, again?

He said something to the extent of "This is the closest to the world I wanted to portray". It's a great compliment but that doesn't mean that makes it canon. That was also said when the R/B/G arc was running.

Technically he said "This is the manga that most resembles the world I was trying to convey". Keep in mind there was only 2 manga out back then: Special and Pocket Monsters, which was more of a gag comedy series. And simply saying "it most resembles my world out of the two" isn't exactly praise. I also wonder if he said that before or after the series went into fan-fiction territory of having half the Gym Leaders being evil. Either way, as mentioned, that doesn't make it canon by any stretch of the means.

A matter of interpretation.
