==New look?==

I think this template looks better so.

Something should be added on the Gen III/IV lines about ignoring Gen VI abilities too. --[[User:Flicky|Fli]][[User talk:Flicky|cky]][[Special:Contributions/Flicky|1991]] 23:13, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

== Generation IV ==

Why doesn't the Gen IV line make mention of later generations? III and V do, so I see no reason not to be consistent and clarify. It almost had me thinking Gen V didn't introduce new abilities. [[User:Draceon|Draceon]] ([[User talk:Draceon|talk]]) 07:28, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

== Time to update? ==

It's been a few months since SwSh was released, and most ability pages have already been updated to include new Pokemon. Shouldn't the footer be updated for Gen 8 now? [[User:TechSkylander1518|TechSkylander1518]] ([[User talk:TechSkylander1518|talk]]) 07:46, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

:: The current template says "For Generation III games, ignore Abilities introduced in Generation IV or later and '''Hidden Abilities'''." That's worded correctly isn't it?--[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 12:13, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

== Gen IV needs to be fixed ==

It says "Ignore Hidden Abilities". Fair enough, but it should also ignore abilities from Gen V and later. One totally valid criticism with this is that Gen V didn't add any new abilities to old Pokémon, besides Hidden Abilities. I imagine this is why it hasn't been done yet. And that would be a totally valid point... except for one issue. We're not looking at Gen V. We're looking at Gen V ''and later''. This means that Gen VI and onwards would result in problems. For example, Jigglypuff. According to the chart, Jigglypuff in Gen IV can have either Cute Charm or Competitive. But it can't have Competitive, because that's an ability that doesn't exist until Gen VI! This is rather strange to allow the charts to keep operating in this manner, so I think it's time that this be changed. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 03:53, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
