== Signature guidelines == | |||
I think {{u|Force Fire}} wants Bulbapedia to have strict criteria for considering a move to be a signature move of a certain Pokémon. | |||
I'm asking here because this information is also to be shown at [[move]] articles and in the "[[Signature move]]" article. | |||
According to FF, the move can only be considered a signature move if the Pokémon had it for the whole generation, even if it wasn't widely learnable in all but one game/pair of games that cannot communicate with the ones where the move was expanded to be available for other Pokémon. For example, in Generation VII, {{p|Meowth}} and its Alolan Form had {{m|Pay Day}} as their signature move. However, as FF says, that was until the release of LGPE, even though LGPE cannot communicate with Alola-based games. This was because Pay Day became learnable by more Pokémon as a TM move. However, there is no way you can transfer e.g. an {{p|Eevee}} that knows Pay Day into an Alola-based game, because Eevee couldn't learn it in Generation I, and Pokémon cannot be transferred from LGPE to SMUSUM. | |||
Moves with restricted availability (in-game gift or event, but not level-up, TM/HM/TR or Move Tutor) also should not disqualify the move from having its signature status. That is, Venusaur should still have Frenzy Plant as a signature move in Generation III. Same would go for Charizard and Blast Burn, and Blastoise and Hydro Cannon. | |||
If a move can only be learned by one Pokémon or evolutionary family via level-up, but can be learned by others via breeding, it also should not disqualify from the signature status. For instance, Sneasel was the only Pokémon that learned Beat Up in Generations II and III, but more Pokémon (such as Ekans) could learn it as an Egg Move even back then. | |||
Here are my thoughts about this. I am open to hear your opinions. --<span style="font-family:Corbel,sans-serif">'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|<span style="color:#4ed">Bfdi</span>]][[User talk:Bfdifan2006|<span style="color:#3f3">fan</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Bfdifan2006|<span style="color:#ea4">2006</span>]]'''''</span> 08:55, 11 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
