The article mentions that the game looks at 0x17 in the Pokemon data, and that it is called the "home location". However, we already know now that 0x17 is used to store the original language, and that there is no geographical information stored, such as the country. I think that it would clear up a lot of confusion if we just finally clarified that it is indeed the original language that matters for the Masuda Method; I still see a lot of people confused over this and claiming that it is indeed the country because they read so here. Any thoughts? [[User:Miau|Miau]] ([[User talk:Miau|talk]]) 21:04, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

== Does it have to be a Ditto or the same species?  ==
Okay let's just say I'm trying for a shiny Shroomish, and have a foreign Breloom. Does the other parent have to be a Ditto? And if not, then does it have to be another Breloom, or can I just use a Poke from the same egg group?
