::Anyway, other "special moves" are not mentioned at all, which makes me wonder whether they're just not relearned, have not been tested, or are case by case? Gen III [[mass outbreak]]s, [[Pokéwalker]], and [[Pokémon Dream World]] come to mind; maybe there's more - I thought there was some list onwiki, but at least I couldn't find it..

:::The ability to flag particular moves as relearnable was only added in Gen 6. As a result, special moves a Pokémon knows from earlier generations (like mass outbreaks or the Dream World) cannot be relearnable, just like Pokémon hatched from Eggs or received from events prior to Gen 6 cannot have any relearnable special moves. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 07:40, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

::::A while after I posted my questions, it occured to me that this has to be the case. For what I can tell, they would need to have added a structure that stores relearnable (non-level up) moves to the Pokemon data in Generation VI. And then it occurred to me that this needs to be somewhat dynamic! And while I wondered about how much space that structure may maximally occupy, I remembered [[List of glitches (Generation VIII)#Move Reminder glitches|that glitch]], which seems to be related. I don't know, but maybe there's even some RAM corruption involved when forgeting enough relearnable moves (not sure if there's a detailed explanation of that glitch out somewhere)!?
::::Anyway, I may be trying to test what happens when a hatched Pokémon has more than four Egg moves, for I would assume it can relearn even those it didn't know when it hatched. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:10, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
