Talk:Masuda method: Difference between revisions

:I've always wondered that, but it's not that easy to confirm by myself. Is it really the language, then? Like, in Gen IV, can you have a Pokemon from a US game and a Pokemon from a European (English) or Australian game, and between the two Pokemon, the game region (or something, or multiple bytes) will be different but the language bytes will be the same, and since the language is the same they won't trigger the Masuda method?

::Unfortunately, it's hard for me to confirm this with physical games too, so I left the text here. In Gen V and before, there is no separate region byte, only the language byte. Region/country/3DS region only started being recorded in Gen VI. Geographically speaking, Gen V and below Pokemon from a US game and an Australian game will be treated by the game as originating from the same "region".
