 ===Damage===
-In Generation II, when a move scores a critical hit, all stat stage modifiers, the halved Attack from burn, and the defensive boosts from {{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|Reflect}} are ignored if the target's defending stat stage ({{stat|Defense}} or {{stat|Special Defense}}) is greater than or equal to the attacker's attacking stat stage ({{stat|Attack}} or {{stat|Special Attack}}).
+From Generation {{gen|II}} to {{gen|V}}, a critical hit deals 2 times the normal damage. From Generation {{gen|VI}} onward, a critical hit deals 1.5 times the normal damage. In Generation II only, this is done by doubling the user's level during damage calculation; from Generation III onward, the damage is multiplied directly.
-From [[Generation III]] onwards, a critical hit now modifies damage itself rather than user's level, dealing 2x the normal damage in Generations III through {{gen|V}} and 1.5x [[Generation VI]] onwards. Additionally, when a move scores a critical hit, the attacker's negative stat stages, the defender's positive stat stages, and the defensive boosts from {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, and {{m|Aurora Veil}} are always ignored. However, the halved Attack from burn is no longer ignored.
+In Generation II, when a move scores a critical hit, all stat stage modifiers, the halved Attack from burn, and the defensive boosts from screens ({{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|Reflect}}) are ignored if the target's defending stat stage ({{stat|Defense}} or {{stat|Special Defense}}) is greater than or equal to the attacker's attacking stat stage ({{stat|Attack}} or {{stat|Special Attack}}).
+From [[Generation III]] onward, when a move scores a critical hit, the attacker's negative stat stages, the defender's positive stat stages, and the defensive boosts from {{cat|Screen-creating moves|screens}} are always ignored. However, the halved Attack from burn is no longer ignored.
