Long Live Super Mario Maker! 2015-2024
This is going to be a similar format to the other thread on move legaltiies. If people want, I may include some minor event information, but if HTML experince proves this to look ugly (still have to test it), I'm leaning towards not including major identifiying information such as OT, ID, etc, just because this article is more focused on move legality rather than how to obtain the events. Hopefully, this will get done way faster than the last one!
One big difference I'm currenly considering is listing the events by Pokemon rather than move, since the event moves follow a much less consistent pattern than other old generation moves. I may even get rid of the generation classifcation all together, and put them in the columns, since several Pokemon get event moves VERY often! However, if anyone would prefer it to be labled by moves instead, let me know! I will at least be doing it by moves for generation 2 and 3, since unlike most other generations, these two actually do have events that share a LOT of moves.
