 {{main|Pal Park}}
 In {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Pal Park allows the player to transfer Pokémon from {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, using dual-slot mode for communication. The Pokémon are sent from the [[Generation III]] game to the [[Generation IV]] game and cannot be sent back.
+Both games must be the same language in order to migrate Pokémon via Pal Park, unless the Generation IV game is Korean, in which case any language of Generation III game can be used.
 ===Dongle method===
-{{incomplete|section|needs=Whether language is a requirement in Korean games}}
 In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the dongle method changes the [[wild Pokémon]] that appear based on the game in the Game Boy Advance slot, via dual-slot mode. This method is compatible with any of the [[Generation III]] [[core series]] games: {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. The name "dongle method" is an unofficial name that comes from the fact that this method uses the Game Boy Advance game as a {{wp|dongle}} for the Nintendo DS game.
-After obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], if the player had an applicable GBA game inserted in the GBA slot when they opened the title screen, the dongle method allows specific wild Pokémon to appear depending on the GBA game. Wild encounters will not change if a GBA game is inserted or removed from the Nintendo DS system after the title screen.

Wild encounters will not change if a GBA game is inserted or removed from the Nintendo DS system after the title screen. The dongle method applies regardless of the language of the GBA game (unlike Pal Park).
-The wild Pokémon that can appear this way are mostly not in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. They are usually [[Version-exclusive Pokémon]] to one of the [[Generation III]] games. They usually have an 8% chance of appearing, or 4% each if there are two different Pokémon that can appear this way in the same location due to the same game.
-The language of the GBA game is ignored, meaning that the player can find these Pokémon after properly inserting the cartridge, even if migrating from it isn't possible.
-[[Pokémon Dream Radar]] has a similar feature that allows players to catch a Generation IV [[game mascot]] with its [[Hidden Ability]] in extensions unlocked by putting the Game Card of the corresponding game into the game card slot of the Nintendo 3DS system.
