On the topic of Generation VI and contest data, I propose that the table look like the one in my sandbox at [[User:Ribose/s/List of moves]]. It has the changes I list there, and includes the Generation VI contest data in the same way the Learnset tables do. I left the stars as they were on the current page. Maybe we can discuss more how to represent pre-Generation VI data without resorting to a star next to each move. I mean, it already lists pre-Generation VI data for PP, type, power, and accuracy changes, and in my honest opinion the stars should be dropped and the page used to list the current list of moves as they are now. My reasoning is every generation will just add more stars (this one would add a whole bunch for contest changes, as you point out). Perhaps separate pages for previous generations? To be honest, if I was playing an old game, I'd love to have a non-star-filled list of moves that is current upon first inspection ("List of moves (generation I)", "List of moves (generation II)", etc). Then we can see a Generation III page with all the old contest data, and a Generation IV page with the Super Contest data. <b>~ [[User:Ribose|<span style="color:green" title="user">Ribose</span>]] · [[User talk:Ribose|<span style="color:blue" title="talk">talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/Ribose|<span style="color:blue" title="contributions">cntr</span>]] ·</b> 20:57, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

== Unreleased Moves and Contests ==
Okay, so presently there are six unreleased moves: Hyperspace Hole, Steam Eruption, Thousand Arrows, Thousand Waves, Light of Ruin, and Hyperspace Fury. This chart gives the Contest Category for four of the six moves. My question is: Where does this information come from? From what I can tell from searching the Internet, the only place that has that information listed is Serebii, in his XYORAS Pokédex, under the pages for the Pokémon that learn them. But Serebii is (1) not a reliable source and (2) a website whose owner said he does not like it when Bulbapedia steals information from him. So can someone please point me to a different source other than that? (And if not, then can we revert those moves to ???-type, like we currently have with the "Thousand" moves?) --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 01:12, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
