User:Nescientist/Project Trace

This page is no longer actively used. It is being retained for archival purposes.

The goal of this project is to add transfer-only moves onto Pokémon's learnsets. The addition of transfer-only moves will enable users to tell what moves Pokémon species can know in a certain generation (rather than just learn).

This page is designed to be this project's hub, containing useful information about the project's scope, related tasks, and the current status.

The addition of transfer-only moves was approved by acting Head of Games abcboy, who delegated related matters to Tiddlywinks. Discussion and ideas regarding this project can go on the talk page.

Tasks

This project involves several tasks, many of which are interdependent. No one user does everything; instead, many users may work on tasks collaboratively.

Task Difficulty Estimated completion rate Notes Appropriate templates Hard 100% Entry templates done, headers/footers partly incomplete A list of all transfer moves we need, per generation (potentially marking event-only moves) Super hard 100% see #WIP pages / talk A list of move parameters per generation, in the desired template format Hard 100% see User:Nescientist/Movedata A way to automatically edit in the additions — — abcboy has offered BulbaBot's help A way to figure out which moves need to be bolded and italiced. Moderate 100% TBA (see talk) A main page about transfering Moderate 100% TBA (see talk)

Discussions/decisions

Topic Result Template design decisions/bugfixes Design finalized, fixed known bugs (discussion; see #WIP pages for examples) Handling of event moves etc. Listing transferable moves only; marking any generation in which the move can only be obtained via event with a striped background (discussion; see #WIP pages for examples) Handling of unusable moves in Generation VIII Listing them anyway, with a comment that says <!--unusable--> Appending a red × to indicate moves that are unusable (discussion; see #WIP pages for examples)
