Hi everyone!
Earlier this year, while reading Jun'ichi Masuda's online blog (*The English version*) I noticed this one entry that talked about the GTS and the features they considered and included for Foreign Pokémon.
C/P from his blog:
"So we considered the following contents.
>some Pokemon's Pokedex descriptions are written in foreign language,
>automatic mail translation,
>the location of the opponent you traded is pointed on the globe,
>country/city name is indicated when you set the cursor on the point,
>rare colored Pokemon's Egg can be found little easier,
>Pokemon traded with different country have better growth
than the one normally traded,
Ideas like above are incorporated in the game."
Being the shiny Pokémon enthusiast I am, I noticed the second to last point was: ">rare colored Pokemon's Egg can be found little easier,"
I'm just posting this here to see if any of you have ever heard of this before, as it doesn't seem very widely talked about. I was just wondering what kind of opinions you guys have and whether you think breeding foreign Pokémon really might up the chances slightly of one hatching as a shiny? Have any of you bred one or two foreign Pokémon and hatched a shiny before?
I have had some people say this may of been a list of things they considered but weren't necessarily in the game, but all the other points mentioned actually ARE in the game, then it quotes at the bottom that ideas likes those were included.
They've given us the ability to get wild shiny Pokémon a little easier, so I wouldn't put it past them to do the same for eggs.
Mostly I'm just looking for some feedback on this as I'm curious about it and it seems it hasn't really been looked into.
Links to the articles in his blog are as follows:

The links are to the Japanese AND English versions of the blog. In both versions, it's entry number 118.
