This misconception is, sadly, extremely common -- I have successfully traded between my Spanish Blue cartridge and all my English carts in the first two generations many times, and it even worked with my English Stadium and Stadium 2 carts.

 Like in Red and Green, players may [[trade]] Pokémon between two cartridges using a [[Game Boy]] [[link cable]]. To take full advantage of this feature, several Pokémon are exclusive to each game of the pair, making it required that a person trade with others in order to complete their [[Pokédex]]. The link cable also makes possible battles with another player, allowing one to pit his or her Pokémon against new challenges.
-Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are impossible in this generation, and will always result in corruption if attempted. This is due to the fact that the games cannot automatically translate the Pokémon data, since there is not enough room on either cartridge for all of the text in so many languages (a feature that would [[Generation IV|later become possible]]).
+Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are possible in this generation; however, a Japanese game cannot connect with a non-Japanese game. The latter will always result in corruption if attempted. This is due to the fact that the games cannot automatically translate the Pokémon data from Japanese to a different language or vice versa, since there is not enough room on either cartridge for all of the text, namely kana and the Western alphabet, in so many languages (a feature that would [[Generation IV|later become possible]]).
