:According to the information in the article, it sounds like the answer is probably yes, using Pokemon from the same cartridge after restarting the game and playing in a different language would most likely activate the Masuda method. However, I'm not sure if this has been specifically tested, so I'm going to add a research template to the article in the hopes that someone can tell us for certain.

::Pokémon aren't flagged as coming from a specific cartridge. If you start a new save file, you get a Trainer ID and Secret ID completely different to your original ones. From Generation VI onward, the games do record language of origin, country of origin, and 3DS region of origin, so those would be the factors to consider (prior to Generation VI, only language of origin was recorded). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 16:00, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

== American Flag to represent English? ==
Should we change the Flag to a more neutral one, given that English is spoken in lots of countries? I've seen a lot of confusion online that the Masuda works off country, not language, and having the American flag here might not help. I think the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_England Flag of England] (not to be confused with the Flag of the UK), would be more appropriate?
