Will Masuda method work with Pokémon from Japanese gba games?

Question

I have recently started trying to breed shinies and just wanted to clear the air. I have 2 Japanese gba games 1 leaf green and a fire red I was wondering could I migrate a Japanese Pokémon onto my diamond version and use masuda method this way?

Comments

I don't think a Pokemon can migrate to a game of a different language.

Answer 1

Pokemon can migrate to a game with the same language, so if your Diamond version is Japanese too, it can migrate to that game.

Obviously, your Diamond version is Japanese and you are able to migrate your Japanese Gen III Pokemon, so your migrated Pokemon will be classified as Japanese Pokemon and they can perform the Masuda Method with other non-Japanese Pokemon.

Hope I helped. :)
