→‎Gain formula: Don't need to "preserve" the Gen I-IV image. The variables 't' and 's' already deal with differences in generations; 'v' can, too
m (→‎Gain formula: This was meant to compensate for the missing/out-of-date image, so it's not needed now.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)

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.
