Talk:Masuda method: Difference between revisions

Undo revision 3555380 by Landfish7 (talk) As removing comments can potentially be more harmful than not removing comments, when in doubt (as per the talk page policy), please be lenient and/or let staff make a judgment. In this particular case, I would assume there was arguably a good reason to revitalize these sections (even after years), i.e. to debunk/correct them.
(do not respond to comments (well) over 6 months)

I realize this works with a foreign, say, Marill and your own Ditto, but would it work with a foreign ''Ditto'' and your own Marill? Basically, I'm asking if Ditto is an exception at all. [[User:Sadistic Blaziken|<font color="Purple">Sadistic Blaziken</font>]] 04:57, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

:There are no exceptions to this rule. Just as long as the Pokemon was generated on a foreign game (so basically, no Lt Surge's Pikachu, or Meister's Magikarp), it'll work. So yeah, foreign Ditto/your Marill would work. ▫▫'''[[User:Tina|<span style="color:#e072a9;">ティナ</span>]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Tina|<span style="color:#728084;">♫</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|<span style="color:#728084;">★</span>]]</sup> 05:27, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

If I use the foreign Pikachu in HG/SS or the foreign Magikarp in D/P/P as a parent, will the Masuda method work on their offspring? [[User:CubeShapedWatermelon|CubeShapedWatermelon]] 04:34, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

:Nope. It's generated by your own game, so it won't work.

:: Is there any source to back up this claim? I can't find any credible source for that info when it was added in 2009, and it isn't the current behavior at all. https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1558955387369439232 [[User:Atrius97|Atrius97]] ([[User talk:Atrius97|talk]]) 23:31, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
:::This was apparently always false, Gen 4 didn't have that behavior at all. At best it was a misunderstanding of the mechanics at the time, at worst it was a myth made up on the spot. https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1558988423460925440 [[User:Atrius97|Atrius97]] ([[User talk:Atrius97|talk]]) 01:30, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
