Look for a move on the first page that is only just too long. Then shorten the move you're trying to fix until it's a bit shorter than the move that's too long. That's what I did with the dex entries anyway.

If you want to help then we can split them up into groups of 121 and 122. That's 3 groups of 122 and 2 groups of 121. So I guess I'll stick by what I said originally and do the first 122.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that smoothly. Because there aren't return/enter spaces between info, we need to confirm all these moves. Leggo.

@Tacos If it fits, it sits. So yes.

Can't we just add one in and then delete it?

I also just noticed that megahorn's description is in quotation marks whereas x-scissor's isn't. Both look the same in-game though so I'd assume those aren't necessary. Scratch that, it isn't really important one way or the other and I can work around it.

You could, I suppose. At the end, you'd have a lot of deleting to do.

I'm going to ask Ame if the moves we're readjusting apply additionally to TM cutoffs. For example, Charge Beam: the move cuts off when viewed from a Pokemon's move screen, but when the TM item is viewed, it all fits.

Here's my thought process: Things would be a little bit easier if moves that were also TMs that have too large a description were both changed to the same thing. Charge Beam, as you can read above, would be one of those moves that does so. It's very situational, so take care to make moves that are also TMs that don't fit in either description VERY CLEAR to notice.

Damn that was fast.

Still, you probably could have edited your original post. No need to double post.

Nice work though.

Just as a tip, I noticed a pattern since I used Parabolic Charge as an example. Since there was only word cut off, I took it out and looked at the length. From the size of the file when I opened it, when the top line was brought down, it filled the whole line almost perfectly. So that's what I did, idk bout you guys

That won't work unfortunately. The length of all of the stuff before the description is also variable, so just by doing that you have no way of knowing how long the description is. Unless you isolated the description when you were looking at them.

I was only referring to the description, I didn't include the power, name, or any of that.

We still don't have Gen 4, so that's something you can do if you're up for it, Tacps.

Also, is anyone shortening, for example, Attack to Atk? Because that could save a ton of space.

Once we finish Moves, it's on to Items. I would message Ame, but I've sent her too many messages already and would feel bad to send another. Nose goes?

Edit: It'd be more work, but is anyone also shortening the moves to fit the lengths of Move Tutor descriptions? I'm not saying we have to, but if you are super eager to make this perfect, there's something to consider.

I could check it after i finish my stuff.

Also, you could PM Tempy (Or talk with him if he's on the server) to ask if he did the 4th gen thing. I think real life "got in the way" though, so yeah.
