→Gain formula: This was meant to compensate for the missing/out-of-date image, so it's not needed now. I don't know about keeping the Gen I-IV image separate...I'll mull it over
(→Gain formula: Replacing is a bad idea, considering the evolution bonus doesn't happen before G6.) |

In the main Pokémon games, only two basic formulas have ever been used: a flat formula, where the opponent's level is not taken into account, and a scaled formula, where the difference between both opponents' levels affects the amount of experience the winner receives. Only [[Generation V]] games ever used the scaled formula. All other Generations have used the flat formula, although each Generation generally makes its own additions or tweaks to the previous mechanics. | In the main Pokémon games, only two basic formulas have ever been used: a flat formula, where the opponent's level is not taken into account, and a scaled formula, where the difference between both opponents' levels affects the amount of experience the winner receives.

Note that if a Pokémon both participated in battle and was holding an Exp. Share - or, in Generation I, {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share|Exp. All}} is in the [[Bag]] - they actually receive experience both from participating in battle and from Exp. Share/Exp. All. Therefore, to arrive at their total experience, the formula must be evaluated both for a Pokémon that battled and for one that was holding Exp. Share, and those results must be summed. This does not apply in Generation VI, as Exp. Share works differently in those games. | Note that if a Pokémon both participated in battle and was holding an Exp.
