I noticed this when looking at Poliwrath's. Wouldn't you be able to get a [[Poliwrath (Pokémon)/Generation II learnset#By a prior evolution|Generation II Poliwrath]] to know Amnesia by trading forward the Poliwag from Generation I that is [[Poliwrath (Pokémon)/Generation I learnset#By a prior evolution|listed here]]? Same goes for trading back a Poliwag that knows Growth, Kiss, and Body Slam to the Generation I games. Then, your generation I Poliwrath could know these.{{tt|*|Am I wrong on the second part? Do the gen one games say that they can't have moves they didn't know in Gen I, or is it just that can't have the moves introduce in Gen II?}}  ''[[User:Maverick Nate|<sup style="color:#00008B;">'''Maverick'''</sup>]][[User talk:Maverick Nate|<sub style="color:#00008B;">'''Nate'''</sub>]]'' 17:03, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

:You're quite right, this is indeed possible. This kind of cross-gen trading famously allowed you to get a Poliwrath with both Mind Reader and Fissure, for example. While I'm not going to the extent of listing all of this in a single table, the new tables do simplify the process of planning cross-generational movesets somewhat: if you're on Poliwrath's Gen II page, you're now just one click away from knowing it can have Amnesia legally, whereas previously you'd need to go back to Gen I, [i]then[/i] check it's prevos individually.

:We did briefly consider including cross-generational moves in the tables, but came to the conclusion that that's what the links in the top right corner of each table are for. [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 17:14, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
