Separating "HM" moves and other moves is a bad idea, since this is Gen V bias and it won't always be Gen V, because for how many generations was Flash an HM? So I suggest ditching the "HM Total" column and simply alphabetize the moves, because there's no saying these will be the only field moves from here on out.

Er, you're also missing Rock Smash. Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 14:47, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Rock Smash isn't a HM in Gen V, and the list is specific to Gen V - once this list is done, I'll do up similar lists for previous generations, too. And the reason why HMs are separated out is that they can't be unlearned naturally and they are essential to completing the game. If one wants a HM Slave, which was the primary motivation for creating this list, HMs take priority. Aielyn 06:47, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
How is this "specific" to Gen V when nothing indicates that it's supposed to be? You plan on putting all five generation on one page (over 1,800 rows)? That's table overkill and it's going to be wretched on loading, nevermind it's only going to get worse with every generation heaped into it. If it's one generation by page, you obviously titled it wrong. People are alspo smart enough to realize where the HMs are; an HM total column is overkill because they can see for themselves how many HMs are listed in a row (and are perfectly capable of counting themselves). Also, adding pokémon that cannot learn anything is table baggage and useless. Might as well go to every move article and add all the pokémon to each table, showing off which ones can and cannot learn the move. Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 13:49, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
Also, Defog isn't a field move in Gen V, either. - Blazios talk 13:51, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
