Could I put a JPN .sav on my English cart?

[PLAFiles]

On Platinum, I am having a very hard time finding a save file that doesn't scream "obviously hacked" which has also at least beaten the E4. I came across a decent one, but it's a Japanese .sav file. Can I simply save that .sav to my current English copy/save? Or could I change the entire language of the game in PKHeX?

If I’m not mistaken you could, I’ve done stuff like that before. But as a warning there could be *some* effect. After all, international releases tend to revise glitches from the Japanese version, so it any glitch affected flags or event constants, you may be bringing the incorrectly set flag or constant into your English game.

TL;DR: It is possible, but keep in mind the process could have effects on gameplay.

Do it at your own risk.

If you want, here's a save file backup of a run I did a while back post-E4. English language.
