 In certain games, Cut requires a specific [[badge]] to use outside of battle; the Cascade Badge{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}, Hive Badge{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}, Stone Badge{{sup/3|RSE}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}, Forest Badge{{sup/4|DPPt}}{{sup/8|BDSP}}, or Bug Badge{{sup/6|XY}}.
-====Generations I to III====
+====Generation I====
-Cut can be used to remove [[cuttable plant]]s, which are obstacles that block the player's way.
+Cut can be used from the [[party]] screen to remove [[cuttable plant]]s, which are obstacles that block the player's way. (unlike in later generations, it is not possible to cut plants simply by interacting with them)
-Cut can also be used to cut [[tall grass]] around the player.
+This move can also be used from the party screen to remove a [[tall grass]] tile patch (a large square formed by 4 tiles of tall grass in a 2×2 arrangement) in front of the player.
-* In [[Generation II]], when Cut is used on {{DL|tall grass|long grass}} (tall grass that is longer than usual, found at the [[National Park]] in this generation), it becomes the regular variety of tall grass. Therefore, in Generation II, the player can use Cut twice on long grass to remove it completely around them.
+Once the player leaves the current area and comes back, or saves and restarts the game, any cut trees or grass are restored.
-** In [[Generation III]], unlike the previous generation, Cut removes long grass (now found in the Routes {{rtn|119|Hoenn}} and {{rtn|120|Hoenn}} and the [[Faraway Island]]) completely around the player with a single use, just like the regular tall grass.
-* In {{game|Emerald}}, Pokémon with {{a|Hyper Cutter}} cut a larger area of tall grass.
+====Generation II====
+If the player has a Pokémon with Cut and the required badge, it is now possible to cut plants simply by interacting with them, which opens up a dialog box asking if the plant should be cut.
+In this generation only, when Cut is used on a 2×2 patch of {{DL|tall grass|long grass}} (tall grass that is longer than usual, found only at the [[National Park]] in this generation), it becomes the regular variety of tall grass. Therefore, in Generation II, the player can use Cut twice on a 2×2 patch of long grass to remove it completely.
+====Generation III====
+Cut no longer removes a 2×2 patch of tall grass (starting in this generation, tall grass is not arranged in 2×2 patches anymore; each tile may have tall grass independently of other tiles). Instead, Cut now removes up to 9 tiles (3×3 tile area) of tall grass: the tall grass around the player, including the grass where the player is stepping on.
+In {{game|Emerald}}, Pokémon with {{a|Hyper Cutter}} cut a larger amount of tall grass at once: up to 25 tiles (5×5 tile area) around the player.
+Cut now removes long grass (now found in the Routes {{rtn|119|Hoenn}} and {{rtn|120|Hoenn}} and the [[Faraway Island]]) completely around the player with a single use, just like the regular tall grass.
 In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is a sealed cave in [[Ruin Valley]] with the word "CUT" written in [[braille]]. The player may open it by using Cut on the entrance, which grants access to [[Dotted Hole]].
