-Every move in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] has a 8-byte data structure associated with it which contains information about its use in Contests.
+Every move in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, and {{game|Emerald||Emerald}} has a 8-byte data structure associated with it which contains information about its use in Contests. Contests do not feature in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed or LeafGreen}}, so this data is not included.

-* '''Description ID''' determines what message is displayed in a Pokémon's SUMMARY when the player looks at the move's Contest data (e.g. "A highly appealing move"). The actual message is stored in an array elsewhere and this ID is only used to address that array. It is also used to index the Contest data structure and determine this move's appeal and jam values (see {{OBP|Contest data structure|Generation III}}).
+* '''Move Effect''' indexes the Contest data structure and determines this move's appeal and jam values (see {{OBP|Contest data structure|Generation III}}), and also indexes a message array elsewhere that determines what message is displayed in a Pokémon's SUMMARY when the player views the move's Contest data (e.g. "A highly appealing move").
 * '''Contest Type''' indicates the type of Contest this move should be used in. See the table below for a list of possible values and their meaning.

-* '''Padding''' consists of a sequence of 2 bytes. Each one of those bytes should be set to 0x00 (aligns the structure on 4-bytes boundaries).
