== Adding transfer-only moves to Pokedex pages == | |||
I don't know if I can word this better myself, so I'm going to [[Bulbapedia_talk:Project_Pokédex/Structure|quote Nescientist]]. | |||
:Sumwun and I believe that, for the moves, an additional section "By transfer from an earlier generation" would be sensible. (Please refer to [[User talk:Force Fire#Transfer-only moves and ability changes]].) The addition of this subsection would enable users to tell what moves <species> can '''''know''''' (in <game/generation>) at one glance. | |||
:It's very well possible even Tiddlywinks is ''under''estimating how difficult it is to answer the "know in <game/generation>" question (as much as I initially did). As Sumwun said at the referenced talk page, currently, you'd have to click at least up to 6 links to learnset pages, assuming you already know by heart how transfer works (and that you can't transfer Pokémon from GO by any means, which is what I actually doublechecked). And additionally, you might have to actually ''neglect'' irrelevant sections on learnset pages (for example, in USUM/GenVII, {{p|Bulbasaur}} cannot ''know'' {{m|AncientPower}} AFAIK). (If there's a faster method, I'd like to hear it.) | |||
:And I can't stress how important I think that question is, for I believe it is the central question to that species and learnset pages should be providing an answer to (the use case). It all boils down to that use case: in Tiddlywinks' words, what's the "concern" species/learnset pages try to address? I can't sketch a question/use case that would include "By events" but not "By transfer from a prior generation". (Well, for USUM, I can sketch the question "What moves can <species> with [[black clover]] know?", but that's arguably a "special" case, and probably comp-centric{{tt|*|I am not a competitve battler, by the way}}.) I would like to know what you guys think that use case should be. | |||
:Regarding Tiddlywinks' comment about this coming from a "specific focus like comp/challenges", I took some time to think about that. Apart from the fact that I don't think the use case is comp-centric even, it is also not subjective, but purely factual, unlike the questions you said "we're never going to do" (and, by the way, I agree we shouldn't). For example, I recall that I once designed a team for my next playthrough, and I was searching possible moves for them. From context, I can recreate it must've been for XY before ORAS came out, because I wanted my Swinub to have a good Special Ground-type STAB and ended up breeding it in an earlier generation so I could teach it Earth Power via move tutor, then transfered (and traded) it to the new save file. I don't think that I ever was, in any point in time, trying to answer a question where I required all current subsections but not "By transfer from a prior generation". | |||
:I would like to know what you guys think that use case should be, and whether you think the suggestion subsection is sensible. | |||
