So if I bought a new copy of sun and moon or whatever previous games that allowed you to choose your language, selected a language other than english, and started sending pokemon from that game over to my english copy, would these pokemon work for the masuda method of breeding shinies, or do they have to be pokemon originally sent from foreign internet connections?

Nope.
They actually depend on your 3DS' region, not the language that you play the game in.

It's based on the language symbol which is displayed on a Pokémon's status screen, which will be "FRE", "ITA", "JPN" etc.
This is based on the language you play the game in, not the region of your game or 3DS.
>>31255272 is full of shit.

No, I'm pretty sure that >>31255272 is correct.

Literally every link on the first page says it's language.

Looks like it was changed for Gen VI. So you're right, but it's a reasonable mistake.
